Kerry: Bush officials 'so discredited' they're not relevant to Syria debate By Julian Pecquet - 09/05/13 08:41 PM ET
Bush administration officials are “so discredited” by the war in Iraq that their criticism of President Obama on Syria is irrelevant, Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday.
Kerry's comments on MSNBC's “All in with Chris Hayes” come after former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday called Obama the nation's “so-called commander in chief.” And Bush's hawkish ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said Tuesday he'd vote “no” to avoid “taking sides.”
“It just doesn't make a difference to me, because they're so discredited by their own judgments that it's hard to see that they have a judgment today that is relevant to this,” Kerry said. “I'll listen to people whose judgment I clearly trust and respect.”
Kerry went on to vow that the limited action considered for Syria won't turn into another Iraq or Afghanistan, the two wars that began under Bush.
“We are not presenting to the American people the same shoddy intelligence that was presented to the American people back in Iraq,” he said. “We will not put American boots on the ground. We will not take over a civil war in which the United States clearly has no interest being directly involved.”
Bush has decided to remain silent.
“The president's got a tough choice to make,” he told Fox News last week, "and if he decides to use our military, he'll have the greatest military ever backing him up.”
Kerry's appearance on the liberal show aimed to shore up support for the authorization to use force in Syria, which faces an uphill battle in the House.
While Republicans make up 80 of the 110 House members leaning towards voting “no,” according to The Hill's latest whip count, 30 are Democrats. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is even rallying support against the measure: His online petition had garnered more than 50,000 signatures as of Thursday evening.
Half of the loudest voices FOR attacking Syria ARE former Bushies!!
Obama really wants somebody else to blame for NOT acting.
That pic is photoshopped. There are plenty of stupid pics of Kerry without posting this one.
“We are not presenting to the American people the same shoddy intelligence that was presented to the American people back in Iraq,”
Technically, that is not a lie by Kerry.
The Obama Administration is presenting absolutely no evidence or intelligence what so ever to justify their attack on Syria.
““We will not put American boots on the ground.”
Just like there was no red line.
why won’t any Republican ask lurch why they should believe this administration on anything considering how they lied about Libya and covered up Fast & Furious...
None of this matters to the boots (on the ground) licking press.
But but Saddam gassed his own people...do the Iraqi victims of Saddam matter less cause a Republican regime intervened???
In true Orwellian fashion, any memory of the Democrat’s very substantial support for the war was thrown down the memory hole.
wait, didn’t he vote for the authorization to use force? Or was it just his predecessor. Does he not trust her?
This was true of Kerry in the 70s and now he’s doubling down. What a colossal dumbass.
STFU you giant Smurf booger.
Someone please publish a copy of his full SF-180.
Traitorous bastid.
It’s more than Botox this time. That looks like a botched chin-chop.
That pic is a photoshop created by ‘Registered’. They were both at that rally that day but did not stand/speak at the podium together. That photoshop pic has been used to discredit the right for years.
There are pics of them both sitting in the audience at that rally a couple rows apart but have been scrubbed. There are probably Freepers who still have those pics.
US servicemen in Vietnam were barbarians who cut off arms and legs and ears and electrocuted people with their radio batteries and killed innocents like Jenjus Khan, and the Marines in Iraq were wanton murderers who woke people up in the middle of the night to terrorize their familes, but the Syrian rebels are “moderates”....
This assclown John Kerry was the perfect choice for the African communist Ubama’s regime - - he’s a liar and a fraud and in way, WAY over his head. I hope congressional Republicans spit in his face and tell him, “No. Now beat it, you scumbag.”
So far, they have presented NOTHING to us. NOTHING. At least Bush sent Powell to the UN to show all kinds of things. What has Obama done besides blow hot air?
