On three national television programs on Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry repeated an argument President Barack Obama had made on Saturday when Obama announced that he wanted Congress to authorize him to use military force in Syria.
The president does not need authorization from Congress to initiate acts of war, Kerry said.
“He has the right to do that no matter what Congress does,” Kerry said on CNN’s “State of the Union. “That is his right and he asserted that in his comments yesterday.”
“The President has the right and he has asserted that right that he could do what’s necessary to protect the national security of the United States at any point in time,” said Kerry. …

Then don’t waste Congress’ time by asking them to debate it.
Kerry is a fool. He is the kind of useful idiot that other smarter, more evil men take advantage of to advocate dumb, I mean breathtakingly stupid ideas like that. Does he even realize he’s promoting an idea that leads fairly directly to fascism and dictatorship? I don’t think he is bright enough to figure that out. Even when told, he’s probably naive enough to trust the likes of hussein. Idiot.
Pompous ass.
Now that a-hole is going to get us ‘stuck in Syria.’
lol
what a lying hypocrite !
If Bush does it, it’s a war crime
If Obama does it, it’s the right !
Democrats have no morals.
All I know for sure, is that it is a national disgrace that Kerry holds any office.
When we look at the accomplishments of the most powerful people in our nation it truly says it all. Most of these people would not be hired to run a fast food restaurant.
Why do they always lie on the Sunday chatter shows?
” ... all the republicans can do is sit quietly on the sideline.”
That’s not fair. `Republicans’ like King, McCain, Graham and others are all working hard, urging us all get on board with the Obamanites and their concern for fundamentalist Islamists.
You remember the Islamists, right? They killed 3,000 of us in 2001 in an unprovoked, surprise attack, cheered our losses on 9-11, killed Russian school kids three years later, they shoot at us, here and abroad, car bombings, that little thing in Boston just recently ... they are why non-muslim Barack Hussein Obama wants to take us to war.
And the Republicans are right there slurpinp-up his s***.
look: EITHER he can or he can’t. U meen there’s ROOM for debate?
OK, Moron, then why ask Congress?
Then why ask .... other than to cover your scaly hide.
Kind of like George Zimmerman on a rainy night in Sanford?
Say anything, and the political/media/democrat buffoon industry will attack with partial quotes, edit words, ignore facts and charge one with first degree murder.
The buffoons of the Republicans are very loudly out there.
McCain and Graham. LOL!
That you heard little from the rest of the vast majority of them yet, should comfort you, if you care about the real world.
For sure. He is an idiot. He claims the President has the right to blah, blah, blah. Right? He may have the authority or he may presume such. In any event, rights are not part of the discussion.
Kerry can sit on it and spin.
The American people have a right to put these felons in prison.
Ha, ha. My sister-in-law says Kerry looks like one of those statues on Easter Island.
