Back from AIPAC and Hollywood, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave this comment today at his cabinet meeting,

I call this to the attention of Catherine Ashton, who is now visiting Tehran. I would like to ask her if she asked her Iranian hosts about this shipment of weapons for terrorist organizations, and if not, why not. I think that it would be proper for the international community to give its opinion regarding Iran’s true policy, not its propaganda.”

I added the words to this official photo of the visit by Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the EC to Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, on the right, and Catherine Ashton was the official caption.

This photo sure likes another good piece of propaganda to me.

Seems the EU’s Ashton is indeed smiling and ignoring…again, all covered up,

and on International Women’s Day!

    I hope you are wrong and that the photo is like the smiley faces of Netanyahu and Obama before or after they engage in “frank discussions.”

  3. Perhaps Catherine Ashton is smiling because she knows in a few months she will be out of office. He is probably laughing while thinking to himself “This schmuck represents 500 million Europeans”
    There will be a new EU Commission as soon as the European Parliamentary elections are over in May. Ashton will be returning to the House of Lords.

    1. Gerald: How can you call this person, Baroness Ashton, a schmuck? This word applies to a male of the species. Maybe a schmuckette?

    She’s thrilled that the billions in trade they had to pretend to hide before is again out in the open.

    1. She is wearing a head scarf in a series of official photos, I used only one. No photoshop done by us. Just as Hillary Clinton covered up to respect her hosts, so does Baroness Ashton.
