...no oil for blood?
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.
Well, at least we are admitting it outright. Points for that at least.
They want to pay for an invasion? We’ll send them the tanks and THEY can go at it themselves.
A despicable lie of epic proportions. Kerry should have been asked to tell which Arab countries are willing to do this and with whom he has spoken and with what regard to how much and when.
The USA now has a rent- a- military.
That should help recruiting.
Impeach the whole damned bunch of them along with the traitorous RINOs who voted to support Skeeter in his war game.

“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.”
Translation: As in ALL U.S. military activity in the Middle East, the U.S. continues to be the “hired help” for the Saudis (a dictatorship) and the emirates of the Persian Gulf (dictatorships), in pursuit of THEIR agendas, with our politicians fooling our public that it is, and will be OUR agenda, when Middle East history shows we are NEVER in the end in control of the political ground game or what comes next - that is always in the hands of local interests and interests in the region, and the results, the long term results have NEVER proven to be in our long term interest - not in Afghanistan in the 1980s, not once in Iraq (we gave Iran ten more years to beef up THEIR ground game in Iraq) and not in Iraq again (Iraq and Iran have never been as closely embraced as they are today).
Why has it ever been in our interests to take sides in the regional proxy wars between the two biggest modern expresssions of radical fundamentalist Islam - the Shia clerics in Iran and the Wahabi-Sunni of Saudi Arabia.
We don’t have a dog in that race.
Incidentally, it's quite telling that Kerry used the term "invasion." It kind of betrays the fact that he and Obama were lying when they promised "no boots on the ground."
Are they willing to pay in blood, too?
“For the executive branch to order a Syrian operation bankrolled by the Arabs is to effectively shift the allegiance of the executive branch from its legitimate paymaster — the American people — to a foreign one. From an intellectual and moral perspective, though probably not a legalistic one, this borders on disloyalty.”

How much will Obama and Kerry get paid?
