Kerry says Obama has asked for new policy options on Syria Photo 6:41am EST

BEIJING (Reuters) - Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that President Barack Obama has asked for possible new policy options on Syria given the worsening humanitarian situation there.

"He has asked all of us to think about various options that may or may not exist. The answer to the question: have they been presented? No, they have not. But that evaluation, by necessity, given the circumstances, is taking place at this time," Kerry told reporters during a visit to Beijing.

So, Obama, Clinton and Kerry cause unspeakable horror along North Africa and the Middle East with their Arab Spring, with its thousands of deaths, tens of thousands of refugees, the persecution of Christians and Jews, AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS FREAKIN’ OOPS?!

How about stop funding and arming the Al-CIA-duh mercenaries that are killing Christians and tearing the country apart?

No one is going to tolerate another war of intervention. Despite the caterwauling about atrocities and refugees, the image of our troops being sent around the world in feckless adventurism is bound to send any thoughts of using the military to a screeching halt.

the problem is Obama, not Kerry.

in light of the possible alternatives
with Obama in office,
Kerry seems reasonably competent and dignified-looking.

The policy for these incompetent, degenerate, clueless clowns (including Clown Prince nobama) should be to all resign their positions immediately so as to let adults take over.

I suppose “Kill anyone carrying a rifle and let God sort them out” isn’t an option...

The only acceptable option, for dumBO, is blame Bush. I am at a loss for a concept worse than incompetence.

Is “Stay Out” going to be one of the options?

Have they thought of “Freedom Flights” for the rebels? Bring’em all to America and...give them unrestricted US citizenship.

Unfortunately, you know they have.

“No one is going to tolerate another war of intervention.

I hope you’re right. But, the way I see it now is that Obama has declared a war of intervention on America & our liberty, and much of the US citizenry has chosen to occupy the sidelines.

If folks aren’t willing to defend themselves, how can we expect them to come to the defense of some unruly dictatorship halfway around the world that Obama has set his sights on.

The only entities out there that would object in any meaningful way would be other big players of the planet earth...Russia, China, Japan maybe.
