Obama sends Bush to teach Syria how to kill civilians legally
In a last ditch effort to avoid air strikes and cruise missile attacks on Syria, President Barack Obama has deployed former President George W Bush as a special envoy to instruct Syrian President Bashir Assad on the how to kill civilians without committing war crimes.
"No one alive knows more about this than former President Bush," Obama said. "He has by some estimates, authorized the killing of over a million Iraqi men, women, and children and untold tens of thousands of Afghans--all without committing war crimes or human rights violations. That's why I gave him immunity for actions taken in those wars just the other day."
Bush had already arrived in Syria and begun what he called his "Cheneying" of the young president of Syria.
He took a brief break to explain the advice he's giving Assad in an exclusive interview with Fox News.
"See, first thing I told him is we're the deciders. We decide what's the right way to kill terrorists. And that's the first step. Only kill terrorists. And they can come in any gender or age or sexual oriented minority."
