According to this, Obama was “seriously considering not extending invitations to Iranian diplomats for July 4 celebrations overseas.” I’m not making this up.
I’m sure that’s a DEVASTATING BLOW to Iranian diplomats. Unless of course, they’re too busy to notice this courageous act of strength from the White House because they’re watching their own people being brutally massacred in the streets for voicing their opinions about that sham of an election.
Traditionally, these overseas Fourth of July parties feature things like hot dogs, and patriotic decorations, and remarks about our founding fathers from various US officials. Obama had decided previously that, in keeping with his kumbayah approach to international relations, he’d invite some Iranian VIP’s. Because, you know, it makes all sorts of sense that representatives from a country who can’t seem to keep itself from killing people who dare to speak out against it, would be invited to celebrate independence. But now that Iran is inconveniently murdering its own citizens while the world looks on via Twitter, Obama is “rethinking” the party invites. Yeah – you heard me, Iranian Diplomats. He’s rethinking your invitations. Take THAT!
HOWEVER, White House officials said that any invitations which have ALREADY gone out wouldn’t be rescinded. Because, you know, that’d be really rude.
UPDATE: According to this, no Iranian Diplomat had RSVP’d, so now the White House has made the incredibly tough-handed and brave decision to withdraw its invitations.
Let’s recap.
USA: Hey Iran! You guys should TOTALLY come to our Fourth of July hot-dog fest!
Iran: (killing innocent civilians)
USA: So, um – seriously – are you guys coming to my party or what?
Iran: (killing innocent civilians)
USA: Oh yeah? Well, I didn’t want you to come anyway! So I’m taking BACK my invitation. Mnaaa!
Iran: (killing innocent civilians)
Thanks for your leadership, Obama. Well done.
Does he really think inviting them over for hot dogs is diplomacy? Then does he really think that will work to get them to put down the nuclear gun?
Somebody please tell me he is kidding…
sounds like when little kids univite their friends to their birthday parties……..
