US Shuts Down Vatican Embassy After Striking Deal with Iran

US Embassy in Rome is a fortress of walls, cameras and barriers. A huge place. All US Embassies in Europe are fortresses. Unique and indeed foreign compared with other diplomatic missions.

There’s just no end to the petty in-your-face liberal hate that boils inside this guy.

[Arthur McGowan]

Why would a Muslim country have an embassy at the Vatican? Hussein Soetoro’s decision makes perfect sense.

Helter Skelter

America's allies and friends are now Obama's enemies!

[stanne]

Well, perhaps the USCCB will think to stop pushing for amnesty now seeing how the Obama administration really DOESN’T have the best interests of the church in mind

Nah. Naïveté reigns in the minds of those who grew up in Mexico and in union democrat households

I wish they’d read the catechism though

I thought they were just floating this and now it’s a done deal, WTH? So much for the most transparent administration ever. This thug seriously is ruing our reputation in the non-Islamic world. And the media scum had the nerve to say it was W who was ruining our reputation.

[Parmy]

I wonder if there is anyone who works for the government, this administration, who has a conscience or true moral values?

[null and void]

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.

I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

Officially, the US is explaining the relocation effort as a security measure in reaction to the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. . . Because, ya know, those crazy Vatican Catholics are a naturally militant bunch. Heaven forbid someone makes an anti-Christian movie! Whoa, the whole place could erupt into a deadly string of mass prayers and forgiveness! (Ahem… Sarcasm.) The decision on part of the US Administration to move the American Embassy is being interpreted by many as a slap in the face to the Vatican. At the very least, it is likely to produce a tension that will lead to a deterioration of US/ Vatican communication and cooperation. Adding to the suspicion that America’s decision is primarily political, and not based in security concerns, is the fact that the current Embassy has state of the art security. According to former US Ambassador James Nicholson, the current location is highly secure, and pivotal to continuing relations with the Holy See. Besides: We’re talking about the US Embassy. . . In Vatican City. It’s not as if we’re discussing an un-fortified compound in the heart of a Libyan war-zone. (Cough*Benghazi*Cough) Here’s a solution: add a couple more Marines, and maybe borrow the Pope-Mobile for high profile visitors.

Ping for later

obama is a muslime and Americans are STILL in denial.

Sounds like closing the embassy in the Vatican was PART of the agreement with Iran, I wouldn’t be surprised at all about this...

I don’t think he is the antichrist but a forerunner of the antichrist. Imagine how good ANYONE would seem following him, enough to fool even more than he fooled.
