UN Amb Linda Thomas-Greenfield wags a warning finger at the Taliban

UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield bragged that the United States used a "very strongly worded press statement" from the UN Security Council telling the barbaric scumcrumpets of the Taliban that they had better respect women's rights and humanitarian law, or else. She added that we will be watching closely while failing to mention what we will do should they violate our demand.

The Taliban assured us that they will provide women and girls all their rights in accordance with Islamic law known as sharia.

Wow, that's great. 

Now women will have half the rights given to a man and will be able to select the material their burqas will be made from. They will also not need to be bothered with such mundane things like voting or leaving the house alone and can even avoid getting involved with having to find a husband or a slave master. The Taliban will make those decisions for them, relieving them of the burden. 

Of course, if they defy the rules, they will be beaten and/or stoned to death.

Thomas-Greenfield said, "[W]e are hearing from people in Afghanistan that they are getting threats from the Taliban, and we have expressed in no uncertain terms here at the United Nations through a very strongly worded press statement from the Security Council that we expect the Taliban to respect human rights, including the rights of women and girls. We have also indicated that they have to be respectful of humanitarian law and that we do not expect to see that Afghanistan will become a safe haven for terrorists. But, again, it is not their words that we will hold them to. It is their actions that we will be watching."

Or else.
