Kerry says Congress won't turn its back on the Syrian people
Politico ^ | 9/1/13 9:37 AM EDT | By MACKENZIE WEINGER

Posted on 09/01/2013 1:13:07 PM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach

Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday said he “can’t contemplate” that Congress would not authorize military action against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and therefore “turn its back on” the United States’ allies in the region and “on innocent Syrian people who have been slaughtered by this gas.”

Host Chris Wallace asked Kerry on "Fox News Sunday" what would happen if Congress refused to give its authorization for military action in Syria, and Kerry replied that he does not believe that will happen.

“He’s nothing but a cowardly communist-loving traitor.”

actually, I would disagree with that. Obama is a communist lover, there is no doubt. our illustrious sec of state however, is cut from the same cloth as bill Clinton. ideology does not drive them, it’s the trappings of wealth and power.
neither could give a crap about any principles, good or bad.
whoever thought up the phrase empty suit must have had Kerry in mind.

That would make two - Congress and France. Is Hussein even on board with this crap?

John F’N Kerry, you were an embarrassment to the United States in the 1970’s and you are still an embarrassment today. Take your sorry ass back to Massachusettes and spend the rest of your life windsurfing. Don’t try to look like a political hawk now you pussy, you threw your undeserving medals away long ago.

Which people? Who are we going to kill? Seems like we’ll be turning our back on some of those folks, doesn’t it?

I don’t see a good/bad evil/moral side here. Who are we going to kill?

Why kill any of them? I may not believe in what they do, but I don’t see any reason for additional killing over there.

Who are we going to win over, if we kill even one more person? Not one person. We’ll just be acting the bully, and more people will hate us.

This is just insane.

I couldn’t believe Gloria Borger nailing Kerry. She had him hemming and hawing all over the place. He certainly looked surprised.

I really don’t get this Regimes foreign policy. They are leaving Iraq, Afghanistan though its former govt massacred its civilians. They want to talk to the Taliban though it has massacred civilians. Now they want to bomb Syria...

Confusing.

To Congress, chemical weapons against Americans is A-OK
because THEY are leaving the borders open after
arming al Qaeda with MANPADs and saris.
