US Embassy in Iran? Michele Bachmann’s ‘Oops’ Moment

Did Michelle Bachmann have her “oops” moment?

In light of the British Foreign Ministry pulling all U.K. nationals out of the British embassy in Tehran after students stormed the building in protest, GOP presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann told a crowd in Waverly, Iowa, today that she would close the U.S. embassy in Iran.

One small, tiny note: The U.S. hasn’t had an embassy in Tehran since 1980. Following the Iranian Hostage Crisis, where 52 Americans were held for 444 days, the United States cut all diplomatic ties.

According to reports, Bachmann applauded the U.K.’s move, adding, “That’s exactly what I would do . We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.”

3. I hope there is a video since Bachmann's people claim she

was quoting a hypothetical circumstance and her statement didn't come across correctly. Even if so, a slip of the lips sinks dingies.

4. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing she's on the permanent House Intelligence Committee.

I guess they need Michelle's input as an expert in counter-intelligence.
