The Kerry video will be streamed above during his remarks.
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State John Kerry will make a statement at 12:30 p.m. ET on the situation in Syria, the State Department said, as the U.S. prepares for unilateral military action to punish the regime of Bashar al-Assad for its alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians.
Mr. Kerry will make the statement from the State Department. His remarks follow an abrupt decision by the U.K. not to participate in any military action in Syria and amid calls from members of the U.S. Congress for more information about how the U.S. plans to respond.

He’s reciting we know we know we know.

Some things we know we can’t talk about.....used multiple times this year.....the regime....made preperations and precautions....we know because all hell broke loose in the SOCIAL MEDIA....the question is what are we going to do about it? It matters to our allies were the weapons are....they are watching what we will do ....our CREDIBILITY
I say bomb both sides and send the bill to the Sauuuuuudeees and then let them continue the killing....more dead Iranians and Hezzbolah everyday is a good thing. Better yet...get the Israelis to nuke the place.
CRUISE MISSLE LAUNCHES TONITE, FOLKS....
The big Question? WHAT WILL RUSSIA DO?
What did he just say “Religious extremist violence”...HUH
The Coward Of Cambodia tries to pull Obama’s panties out of the fire.
We have that statement from his spokesweasel that it was likely a rogue commander and the sigint was the high command trying to find out what was going on. To me it is highly likely a commander went all general ripper and implemented wing attack plan R.
DAYUM
The Radicals around Obama think they can grab “The Moral Highground!” on this.
And if you are against war with Syria, and possible WW3, YOU MUSS BE A RASSISS!!!
Up thread, someone commented that our military has a stark choice before it. Obey an illegal order or not?
We are witness ultimate fail here.
Well - NSA should know what happened there.
After all - they got the goods on Chief Justice Roberts with no problem.
Pray for our personnel in harm’s way. These lowlife scoundrels are hell bent on having their way in the ME.
“After more than a decade of war, the citizens of the United States Of America are tired of war. And the President is too...”
Fired off an other e mail to my pathetic congressman who is hiding under his desk. I told him he is complicit in an out right violation of the constitution and bears full responsibility for what happens here.
I’ve NEVER seen DrO shut off the TV more quickly and do it swearing.
It sounds like the “shot across the bow” will be fired in a few hours.
I have a bad feeling that the Russians, the Syrians and the Iranians are going to call Bathhouse Barry’s bluff.
We NEED to stay OUT of this hornet’s nest, Syria is nothing but trouble.
Basicly, he just said we must act ALONE, because the RUSSIANS have made the U.N. unworkable.
DIDN’T THEY SAY THE VERY SAME THING EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT CONGRESS??
So, our illustrious POS president cannot even face the people and make his case...he sends out John F’in Kerry to do it. Kerry is the sec of state, not defense.
I did not hear Kerry make a case for invading Iraq because they gassed the Kurds. Interesting omission in going back to WW1.
One more interesting comment, so the lands of Jordan and others in the mid east are just a breeze away from Syria, indicating that some gas could make its way there, I wonder what they think will happen when the try to blow those stockpiles away?
I wonder if the UN guys will be able to trace the gas back to Iraq...maybe that is why they want no confirmation from the ground.
When the EAM comes in, I hope they return to sender on those ships at sea.
