The White House responds to Iran’s missile test:
“At a time when the international community has offered Iran opportunities to begin to build trust and confidence, Iran’s missile tests only undermine Iran’s claims of peaceful intentions,” White House spokesman Mike Hammer said.
They undermine Iran’s claims of peaceful intentions?! Seriously?!
The missile test does not undermine Iran’s claims, because Iran’s claims were already not the tiniest bit believable.
Oh, but it gets worse:
“Such actions will increase the seriousness and resolve of the international community to hold Iran accountable for its continued defiance of its international obligations on its nuclear program,” he said.
Aha, the action will increase our seriousness and resolve. Not enough to do anything about it, mind you, but we might consider using some really strong words. If we can get the Chinese and Russians to go along with them, that is.
