Kerry: Arab Countries Offered to Pay for Invasion

Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesday’s hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily.

“With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes,” Kerry said. “They have. That offer is on the table.”

Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion.

...”Time for some generals to resign - - and to speak out pubicly against this abomination, loudly and forcefully”...

Many retired are already , and have done so, but this high stakes game Obie is playing is “outside” the circle of Washington or the Pentagon...

He’s moving Congress and that is soo troubling....and it’s not taking him long to do so either...equally troubling.

Let those Arab countries deal with Assad then. They have the money, speak the language and share the Faith.

Arab countries can wage war against Israel but not another Mid East country? Wtf.

The Saudis have been sponsoring our wars in the ME for a while now, no?

This is sick. We’re not mercenaries. Obama may have done more for paeloconservatism in America than any President since Calvin Coolidge.

Does Kerry think they are as bad as his fellow vietnam veterans? Did he go as far as to comparing them to Genghis Khan? Or did he stop short of that?

So Saudi Arabia comes along and says private to the Obama administration, Look, we'll be willing to bankroll the cost of taking out the Assad regime. We don't want a guy with a stockpile of chemical weapons on our doorstep. Bring your men in and clean the place up.

Obama and Kerry say, Okay, we'll keep this hush hush. We appreciate your financial support.

Then Kerry runs out to a camera ans blabs the whole thing.

I don't want us taking this action at all. I don't want Saudi Arabia bank rolling anything here.

I can't believe how sophomoric Kerry is, to go out and blab these details to everyone. It instantly makes Assad the enemy of the Saudis.

Nice move Kerry. What's next in your bag of tricks?

Let me explain why the Sunnis will pay to kill Shiites. This country doesn’t have a clue. They think a brainless Arab is a brainless Arab. What you have .since they made up this religion in 634 After Christ birth is Shiites believe that the brother in law of Mohammed was not a”blood” relative. The Sunnis were all set up with the brother in law law. Well the Shiites went to a cousin named “ Ali” as the proper heir in blood line and said “ You DA MAN”. That pissed off the established Sunnis so they started killing the Shiites real bad. The Shiites went down to Kandahar Iraq and slaughtered the damned Sunnis — ALL OF THEM. Since that great fight they regularly kill each other every day.
Now fast forward to the Saudi Sunnis ( our real enemy) wanting to take our oil payments and pay us to kill Shites— and you will have a clue.
It was the Wahhabi sect Sunni that killed our citizens— Not the Shiites. But this stupid government and John Boehner/McCain and Gramnesty don’t have any idea.

So if the Arabs agree to pay for our wars, I guess Congress’ control of the military purse strings becomes irrelevant?

Anyone remember being promised that Iraq War version 2 would be paid off in Iraqi oil? Where do we stand on that?

Kerry was almost giddy when he announced that, too. I imagine he was figuring out how he could syphon off some of that payola that would turn American volunteers into unwitting cannon fodder in a wider Arab conflict.

Well, Kerry, you finally made it. You’ve become the very type of warmonger you said you despise.

NOTE: It’s about the money. With the dems it’s always about the money. Kerry, the man who married money, is now taking bribes from foreign countries and willing to sacrifice American lives to get his payoff.

The man has never met a principle he didn’t run from.

So, we now OPENLY ADMIT that we are a completely-beholden client-state of the Saudi Arabian Empire.

Well, at least we are admitting it outright. Points for that at least.
