\nAmbassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield<\/em><\/p>\n

As the self-inflicted disaster in Afghanistan continues to unfold, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, has sent the Taliban a “very strongly worded press statement”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have expressed in no uncertain terms, here in the United Nations, through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls.\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Critics baffled by UN ambassador boasting of ‘very strongly worded press statement’ to Taliban: ‘Wut’<\/h3>\n

‘A turn of phrase that really does seem to capture the debacle that is this current moment’<\/em><\/p>\n

United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield boasted Tuesday the U.S. had used a “very strongly worded press statement” from the U.N. Security Council to tell the repressive Taliban it must respect women’s rights and humanitarian law.<\/p>\n

As reports of violent repression against women and U.S. allies by the Taliban alarm the globe, Thomas-Greenfield told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the U.S. would be “watching” closely. <\/p>\n

“We are hearing from people in Afghanistan that they are getting threats from the Taliban, and we have expressed in no uncertain terms here at the United Nations through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “We have also indicated that they have to be respectful of humanitarian law and that we do not expect to see that Afghanistan will become a safe haven for terrorists. But, again, it is not their words that we will hold them to. It is their actions that we will be watching.”<\/p>\n

Actress Patricia Heaton summed up the feelings of many critics at the clip, simply writing “wut.” Others compared it to the 2004 comedy “Team America: World Police,” where U.N. official Hans Blix demands North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il allow a search for weapons of mass destruction or else “we will be very angry with you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’ll make the Taliban take note. The infuriating and sad reality is this has been the only message thus far from the current Resident and his administration addressing the situation, other than advising Americans outside the Kabul airport to shelter-in-place.<\/p>\n

Kamala and The Squad* remain mute on the subject. Disgraceful does not begin to describe their silence.<\/p>\n
