The apparent massacre came despite the presence of United Nations troops ...

When has the presence of UN troops meant anything positive?

will cast a shadow over Mr Outtara’s assumption of the Ivory Coast’s presidency after a four-month battle to oust Lawrence Gbagbo, the former president who lost the November election but refused to step down.

Gbagbo actually won, but with a little creative recounting, intimidation and violence, Ouattara got the results officially reversed, mostly thanks to the US and the usual leftist suspects. This was even though it is not clear that Ouattara was legally able to run (their constitution has a native born clause and he is from Burkina Faso, which he now denies, of course).

This is a repeat of the Odinga situation in Kenya, where Obama and the left put the Marxist Muslim Odinga in power even though he lost the election.

For those who are enjoying our new hands-off approach to foreign affairs, get used to it.

I’ve got news for you, vital interests or not, nobody else is going to take care of these things.

800 people a couple days ago, and 1,000 bodies discovered yesterday, and not one single solitary picture provided by the cockroach media. All the technology that is enthusiastically and fervently used by the cockroaches to embarass or impune conservative as “inhumane or indifferent” to suffering and genocide around the world, has apparently been switched off to protect the big-eared moron, O-hole.

Time for Samantha Powers to swing into action and lob some more cruise missiles at someone.

This massacre was executed by Marxist Islamists against Roman Catholics, if the information we've read is accurate.

I suppose that this massacre proves the outgoing president of the Ivory Coast had good reason to stay in power after losing the election.

So, is France going to bomb the paramilitary columns of the democratically-elected President of the Ivory Coast in order to protect a civilian minority from massacres like these?

Let this serve as a lesson to advocates of the 'partition' solution for peace in Libya, where some rebel outfit territory is recognized by Western nations as the 'government in waiting' and UN peacekeepers stand guard over an artificial geographic construct of a divided nation like is being proposed in the stalemate against Ghadafy.

President George Washington, on behalf of anti-Interventionist Americans everywhere, I apologize to you for failing you.
