'You tweet this as Iraq disintegrates'?' @StateDept is 'focused like a laser beam on fish'

Earlier this week, the State Department tweeted that it “stands with the people of Iraq.”

U.S. condemns assault on #Mosul, stands with the people of #Iraq. http://t.co/rMXT0RE5eR

But enough about the sickening and dire situation over there. Let’s talk about fish. Freaking fish.

Show your love of our oceans! Join our #thunderclap and spread the word about protecting our oceans. http://t.co/SaKt0Zsz6s #OurOcean2014

Priorities? Check!

#OurOcean2014? Ah, the “promise of hashtag.” Is the State Department sure it doesn’t want to go with #BringBackOurFish to really drive home the pressing importance of this effort?

“Our ocean today is at grave risk, and the damage is not happening by accident,” according to Secretary of State John Kerry.

You know what else is at grave risk?

@redsteeze @StateDept Why don't we just declare that the threat to our oceans is over? It worked so well with the Iraq war!

@StateDept Um, shouldn't you guys be more concerned with the ocean of misery washing over the Middle East?
