Obama's failed foreign policy continues to open doors for more antagonism towards the U.S. by the world's authoritarian human rights haters. '

quote:

Iran has named a member of the group that held 52 Americans hostage in Tehran for 444 days to be its next ambassador to the United Nations.

The government has applied for a U.S. visa for Hamid Aboutalebi, who has already served as ambassador to Belgium and Italy, Bloomberg reported Saturday. He was a member of the Muslim Students Following the Imam’s Line (referring to the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini), the group that seized the U.S. Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979, and held American staff hostage until Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1981.

It's a slap to the face of America because they do not respect the president.

Of course he was. The U.N. is a bad joke.

It was 35 years ago and no one died. Get over it already. Jesus Christ!

This is pretty damn disgusting.


U.S. should give him creds, soon as his feet are on U.S. soil, arrest his arse for terrorism against U.S. citizens and ship him to Gitmo.
