Speech “Fell Short, Lacked Substance”

James Bovard, March 30, 2011

No, this is not a judgment on Obama’s gas-bagging on Monday night.

Instead, that is the State Department’s verdict on a speech today by Syria’s “President” Bashar al-Assad.

After all the BS the Obama administration has shoveled, one would think that U.S. officials would be a bit circumspect before snipping about other leaders’ tripe.

    Rumor has it that the Obama speechifying on Monday night was some world class 'projectile flatulence'. Having NOT watched the Obama oration/pontification, well, I think I'll just have to believe the "rumors." Oh yeah.
    By the by, ANY "verdict" vomited forth by our inglorious State Department must automatically be categorized (and summarily rejected) as disingenuous bulls*#t. For obvious reasons.

    Teh State Department sez: "Our bloviating blowhards do it longer and harder than yours."

    The State Dept. will probably not be braving an opinion on Assad's treatment of suspected leakers.
