Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations is one of the many hawks strongly pushing for a U.S. strike on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and an odd comparison she made last night on Twitter demonstrates her interventionist foreign policy impulses:
Not enough to say "CW were used" just as wasn't enough to say "machetes were used" in Rwanda. Must condemn user-Assad usun.state.gov/briefing/state…—Rwanda’s attacks did not involve chemical weapons.

I understand Rwanda was something that deeply impacted @AmbassadorPower's thinking but desire to compare it to Syria is dangerous.—
