Obama 'dismayed' by jailing of American journalist


BBC:

Obama dismayed by Iran sentence

The US has expressed dismay after a court in Iran jailed an Iranian-American journalist, Roxana Saberi, for eight years on spying charges.

"Dismay," indeed. So what diplomatic descriptor will Obama use after he sees a big freakin' mushroom cloud rising over Iran's Dasht-e Lut desert?

"Holy crap, I can't believe Ahmadinejad lied to me! He seemed like such a nice guy!"
