"John Kerry claims new support for Syria plan; Describes ‘a movement’ overseas, as he and Obama lead an all-out push" by Matt Viser | Globe Staff, September 08, 2013
PARIS — Secretary of State John F. Kerry declared here Saturday that he is winning international support for the US effort to launch strikes against Syria, an announcement that underscored his growing role as the administration’s chief salesman for military action.
“We have a movement,” Kerry said about an international coalition for taking action to punish Syria for allegedly using chemical weapons on its own people. “There is a building element of support.”
What a LIAR!
Kerry also said that countries “in the double digits” are prepared to join the United States and France in taking military action, although he did not name those countries.
Standing in an ornate room at the French Foreign Ministry, with its six broad chandeliers and golden motifs, Kerry tried, as he has in speeches since the chemical attack, to compel the world to action by evoking the images of young children gasping for air and “having their lives stolen from them in the middle of the night . . . by one man who has no conscience.”
That would be the speaker. History will record him as Killer Kerry, because the historical record is being written right now, by me and others. That's the it happened at all, or was the TV lying to me once again?
That would be the speaker. History will record him as Killer Kerry, because the historical record is being written right now, by me and others. That's the it happened at all, or was the TV lying to me once again?
“This is not the time to be silent spectators to slaughter,’’ Kerry said. ‘‘This is not the time to allow a dictator unfettered use of some of the heinous weapons on earth.’’
Why don't you shut up?
Why don't you shut up?
It was a striking scene for the man who lost the 2004 presidential campaign, during which he was ridiculed by Republicans for his fluency in French. On Saturday, Kerry embraced his deep knowledge of the region and, for eight straight minutes, spoke in French as he appealed for support....
How do you say c***-sucker in French?
How do you say c***-sucker in French?
Kerry arrived here in the midst of a four-day mission that further solidifies him as the Obama administration’s chief advocate for military strikes.
Then HIS NAME will be READ SECOND on the list of war criminals at trial. That is what happens to the side that loses, even if they exhaust their quiver of nuclear weapons.
Then HIS NAME will be READ SECOND on the list of war criminals at trial. That is what happens to the side that loses, even if they exhaust their quiver of nuclear weapons.
It is not only one of the biggest tests for President Obama, but also a moment that could define Kerry’s legacy, offering a counterpoint to his earliest days as a public figure, when he led protests against the Vietnam War, in which he served.
He's lost his honor.
He's lost his honor.
“From a communications perspective, it’s Kerry’s war,” said Richard Fontaine, president of Center for a New American Security and a former foreign policy adviser to Senator John McCain....
It is not what Kerry envisioned when he packed boxes in his Senate office in Boston in January and pondered how he would try to use diplomacy to deal with Syria.
“We’re going to have a major meeting on Syria in the next few days,” Kerry said in an interview at the time, the day before he became secretary of state. “That is one hell of a challenge.”
This was in the planning when he got there!
This was in the planning when he got there!
The challenge now is for Kerry and Obama to convince a war-weary American public and a skeptical international community that military action is needed, and will have the desired deterrent effect....

I can't take this anymore, this endless drum-beating for war.
In addition to preemptively condemning Obomber I want to also condemn the mouthpiece media. This is sickening.
Ministers of the European Union, and its 28 member states, on Saturday emerged from a meeting with Kerry and unanimously condemned Syria’s use of chemical weapons as “a blatant violation of international law, a war crime, and a crime against humanity.”

But while the EU urged “a clear and strong response,” it also called for a delay in any military action until United Nations inspectors complete their report, which is expected later this month. Kerry said he was pleased by the statement — as well as a separate one from Germany — but made no promises that the United States would wait for the UN report.
God damn you, John (Kohn) Kerry.
God damn you, John (Kohn) Kerry.
After arriving in Paris on Saturday afternoon, Kerry strolled in a courtyard with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, where the two were seen engaged in animated conversation as they map out a strategy for getting more countries engaged. Kerry then held a press conference before a battery of French TV cameras, beginning his remarks in French....
Kerry had harsh words for the United Nations, where Russia has used its influence to protect its ally, Syria.
“Are we supposed to turn away because the UN itself has become a tool of ideology or individual nations?” he asked.
Yeah, EXACTLY HOW MANY VETOS has the Untied States cast for Israel anyway?
Never mind the fact that they only prosecute war crimes against black Africans they have turned on or poor white Slavs who won't get with the Jew World Order.
Kerry also reflected on how the lingering resentment over the Iraq war, which was built on faulty intelligence, is impeding the push against Syria.
It wasn't "faulty intellgence" it was FLAT-OUT LIES BLARED from the FRONT PAGES of my jewspapers!

The crap Globe took up that false narrative, too. OMG!
Kerry’s involvement in Syrian issues is longstanding. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry traveled to Damascus in 2009, dining with President Assad and trying to convince a man he viewed as a potential reformer to support broader peace in the Middle East.

“Kerry was the Syria bull,” said Peter Feaver, who worked on the Bush administration’s National Security Council and was involved in several Iraq strategy reviews. “If you say, ‘Who was the most prominent advocate for a Syria rapprochement?’ That was Kerry. Some of the more emotional words that he’s used may be partly a sense of a jilted suitor.”
Flip, flop, flip, flop! What a pathetic excuse for a person.
Flip, flop, flip, flop! What a pathetic excuse for a person.
On that 2009 visit, and several others, Kerry requested several things of Assad. He wanted the United States to be able to purchase land for the US Embassy in Damascus. He wanted an American cultural center to open, and he wanted border assistance with Iraq....
It was clear that, at the time, he viewed diplomacy as the best course.

“My judgment is that Syria will move,” Kerry said in a 2011 speech at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “Syria will change as it embraces a legitimate relationship with the United States and the West and economic opportunity that comes with it.”
Our economy is imploding, and Kerry's judgment was WRONG, huh?

"Kerry tries to make case abroad for Syria strike" by Deb Riechmann | Associated Press, September 07, 2013
PARIS (AP) — European foreign ministers on Saturday endorsed a ‘‘clear and strong response’’ to a chemical weapons attack that strongly points to the Syrian government, but they urged the U.S. to delay possible military action until U.N. inspectors report their findings.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, trying to make the Obama administration’s case for a strike, thanked the European Union for a ‘‘strong statement about the need for accountability.’’

President Barack Obama has asked the U.S. Congress to approve the use of force. A final vote in the U.S. Senate is expected at the end of the coming week. A U.S. House vote is likely the week of Sept. 16.
A statement read at the end of the ministers’ meeting by the EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, said the Aug. 21 attack was a ‘‘blatant violation of international law, a war crime and a crime against humanity.’’
Information from a wide variety of sources confirmed the chemical attack, according to the statement, and ‘‘seems to indicate strong evidence that the Syrian regime is responsible’’ as it is the only party ‘‘that possesses chemical weapons agents and the means of their delivery in a sufficient quantity.’’
But NOT WHO did it -- if it was done at all!
The statement said a ‘‘clear and strong response is crucial to make clear that such crimes are unacceptable and that there can be no impunity.’’ But at the same time, the statement said the EU backs the need to address the crisis through the U.N. process.
That's not going to go through, so WTF?

Britain’s Parliament has voted against military action. Hollande displayed sudden caution Friday, saying for the first time that he would wait for the U.N. report before deciding whether to intervene militarily.
The report is expected later this month. Some European officials are asking the U.N. to speed up the investigation or issue an interim report.
France, which firmly backs the Syrian rebels and has strategic and historic interest in the region, had been ready to act last week but held off when President Barack Obama declared last weekend that he would seek the backing of Congress first.
Empires never forget, and always leave intelligence agency assets behind.

Hollande’s announcement appeared to catch Fabius off guard.
Earlier Friday, Fabius told EU foreign ministers in Vilnius that there was no need to wait for the U.N. report because it would simply confirm what was already known — that the chemical weapons attack had occurred — but would not say who was responsible.
On Mideast peace negotiations, Kerry urged his EU counterparts to consider delaying putting in place a funding ban on Israeli institutions operating in occupied territories.

Ashton said the EU would send a team to Israel on Monday to make sure the implementation of the ban is done ‘‘very sensitively.’’
‘‘We, of course, want to continue to have a strong relationship with Israel,’’ she said.
Then it's all phony baloney from you, and I will stop paying attention to the EU.

The Palestinians claim some of those territories — the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — for their hoped-for state.
The EU ban applies to grants, prizes and financial instruments and that the new funding guidelines go into effect in 2014. The EU issues dozens of grants, totaling millions of euros, to Israeli universities, companies and researchers every year.
From Paris, Kerry was scheduled to hold talks in London with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and British Foreign Secretary William Hague before returning to Washington.

"EU to wait for UN report on gas attack" by Raf Casert | Associated Press, September 07, 2013
VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — The European Union agreed on Saturday that the Aug. 21 chemical attack outside Damascus appears to have been the work of Syria’s regime, but that any potential military attack against it should wait for a U.N. inspectors’ report.
After meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the EU ministers ended days of division on the issue with a statement saying the available intelligence ‘‘seems to indicate strong evidence that the Syrian regime is responsible for these attacks.’’
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius, who hosted the meeting, put it more bluntly in targeting Syrian President Bashar Assad, speaking of ‘‘more and more evidence that the Assad regime is behind all these crimes. We can’t just ignore this.’’
You know what that is, right?
The EU nations, most of which have been skeptical of a quick retaliatory strike against the regime, underscored ‘‘the need to move forward with addressing the Syrian crisis through the U.N. process.’’ The ministers said they hope a ‘‘preliminary report of this first (U.N.) investigation can be released as soon as possible.’’

Kerry welcomed the stand of the 28 EU nations, calling it ‘‘a strong statement’’ backing all ‘‘the efforts to hold the Assad regime accountable for what it has done.’’

The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported Saturday that the U.N. chemical weapons inspectors could submit initial findings from their tests of samples collected in Syria by the end of next week. The respected weekly said the interim report to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon will likely contain details on the gas, ammunition and delivery systems used in the attack that killed hundreds of people in a suburb of Damascus.
Considering the source saying that, pfffft! It's going to blame the Syrian government, so just throw that propaganda into the trash.
Considering the source saying that, pfffft! It's going to blame the Syrian government, so just throw that propaganda into the trash.
Instrumental in bringing the EU together around a common viewpoint was the decision on Friday by French President Francois Hollande to wait for the U.N. report before deciding to intervene militarily, even though France had said the report would only show a chemical attack had taken place, not apportion blame.
The EU ministers welcomed ‘‘President Hollande’s statement to wait for this report before any further action.’’
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said the U.S. should follow France’s example.
‘‘We jointly welcomed the fact that France has decided to wait for the presentation of the United Nations report,’’ Westerwelle told reporters. ‘‘We have also made clear our expectation toward our American partners that one should follow the example of France before capitals decide on taking further measures.’’
The EU ministers also stressed that perpetrators for such chemical attacks should face possible prosecution by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
No need for Assad to negotiate or surrender then.

Germany joined in on blaming the attack on the Syrian government. It had been the only European member of the Group of 20 not to co-sign a joint statement issued Friday at the end of the group’s meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, blaming the regime.
That G-20 statement calls for a strong international response against Assad’s regime but stops short of explicitly calling for military action against the Syrian government. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Saturday in Vilnius that his country wanted to wait for EU foreign ministers to agree on a common position before backing the statement.
Kerry said Saturday he would share his counterparts’ concern with Obama administration officials. A senior U.S. State Department official who attended Kerry’s meeting with the ministers said Kerry made clear that the U.S. has not made any decision to wait.

"Saudis back US as Assad gives warning; Kerry casts his net for allies before return to brief Congress" by Matt Viser | Globe Staff, September 08, 2013
LONDON — Secretary of State John F. Kerry won key support from Saudi Arabia on Sunday for a strike on Syria, while Syrian President Bashar Assad denied using chemical weapons and warned of possible retaliation if the United States uses military force.
They are already backing the in$urgents.
Oh, that is so nice. Leaves me with a warm fuzzy.
The developments took place as Kerry continued trying to build an international coalition — attempting to bring Arab nations on board with several European nations — that would punish Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons and killing more than 1,400 Syrians in Damascus suburbs last month.
There is a dispute about the death toll; however, there is no dispute regarding the lie of punishment.
Saudi Arabia would join France in supporting a US-led strike, although it is unclear whether the Saudis would provide military assistance.
They they aren't really joining, they are cheerleading.
“They have supported the strike, and they support taking action — they believe that it’s very important to do that,” Kerry said about Saudi Arabia during a press conference following his meetings with nine Arab foreign ministers and Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby.
Word that Assad has hinted at retaliation came in a yet-to-be-broadcast interview with Charlie Rose of CBS News.
Rose, previewing his interview with Assad for “Face the Nation” on Sunday, said that Assad “suggested that there would be, among people that are aligned with him, some kind of retaliation if a strike was made.” The Assad regime’s allies include Iran and Hezbollah, the Islamist militant group in Lebanon.
Did he?
Related: Slow Saturday Special: Iran Pulling Syria's Strings
Assad also repeated denials that he was responsible for the chemical weapon attack on his people, Rose said.
As usual, USrael is not listening.
The interview will be broadcast Monday, the same day President Obama sits down for six television interviews in which he will continue making the case for a military strike.
I'll bet he has NEVER WORKED SO HARD on ANYTHING in his whole rotten life!
Kerry, who has been trying to build an international coalition to back the US-led strikes, was asked on Sunday night about Assad’s comments.
“The evidence speaks for itself,” Kerry told reporters before a private dinner in London in the Queen Elizabeth Room of the Ritz-Carlton with the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas.
Yeah, except NO ONE HAS SEEN the Israeli-supplied pieces of shit.
Earlier in the day, before Assad’s interview was made public, Kerry was more direct.
“This is not fantasyland, this is not conjecture,” he said during a press conference in Paris. “Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons at least 11 times or so, according to our best judgments, with clarity now in this evidence we have presented to the world.”
He is in a fantasyland because THE WORLD NO LONGER BELIEVES you LIARS!!!!!!!!
Earlier on Sunday, Kerry emerged from a three-hour meeting with Arab foreign ministers and said that Saudi Arabia would support a US military strike as a way to punish the Syrian regime for using chemical weapons.
That is NOT what they are planning! This is the FINAL PHASE of the Jewish neo-con's plan for world hegemony.
Kerry also had a one-on-one meeting on Sunday morning with Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal.
Even got a hug from what I say.
Related: British Pushed to the Back of the Bus Because of Syria
Wow, how far the British have fallen -- just because they don't support a war.
But even while there appears to be a sense of growing international support for punishing Syria, the outlook for authorization by Congress is uncertain. Congressional votes on the proposal to launch strikes against Syria are slated to begin Wednesday.
SHAMELESS!!! Absolutely SHAMELESS!!
After a meeting on Monday morning with the British foreign secretary, William Hague, Kerry is planning to fly back to Washington and provide a closed-door briefing for the entire US House. He will brief the Senate later in the week.
Call your rep.
Nothing about the 800-Pound Gorilla in the room, huh?
“As a veteran of the congressional process, I’d just say to you that all of these early prognostications about how tough it is, or defeat here or whatever — I think are just that,” Kerry said on Sunday in Paris. “They’re early, and they’re not completely accurate.”
He alluded to it.
“The vast majority of members of Congress, House and Senate, are undecided,” he added. “And that’s why . . . the briefings are taking place.”
Undecided because they don't want AIPAC to come calling.
As Assad denied using the chemical weapons, Kerry and others tried to make a stronger case that can convince both international allies and skeptical members of Congress. On Sunday, new videos were released showing the suffering that Syrians faced from the alleged use of chemical weapons.
The compilation of videos, posted on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence website, shows rooms full of lifeless people, including children, on the floor. Some lay with their mouths agape and their eyes glazed, others are convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Then why were the alleged medical technicians not affected, and why were they injecting kids with shots? Why were kids bodies moved and photographed over and over in different spots?
“Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody anywhere by any standards,” Kerry said.
Do they?
“And it is the United States of America that has always stood with others to say, ‘We will not allow this. This is not our values. This is not who we are.’ ”
This is who we are:
10 Chemical Weapons Attacks Washington Doesn't Want You to Talk About
They will allow that, and nary a peep from John (Kohn) Kerry, a most excretable scum.
“I don’t think this case has been made enough — to enough people,” he added.
He's right about that because there is no case to make.
After the meeting with 10 Arab leaders, Kerry also said that “a number of countries” within the next 24 hours would sign onto a strongly worded statement that condemns the Syrian regime and calls for “a strong international response.”
The statement, drafted by the United States and signed by 10 other countries at the Group of 20 summit, does not explicitly endorse military strikes. On Saturday, Germany said it would sign on, and Qatar announced Sunday it would, too.
“I don’t believe the international community, if it really wanted to protect peace and security, can afford to stand still while an unarmed people is being attacked with these weapons,” Foreign Minister Khalid Al Attiya of Qatar said in a press conference. He added, “We call on all other countries to intervene to protect the Syrian people from what [they are] being subjected to.”
Qatar has been arming the organ-eating Al-CIA-Duhs, and is behind the TV network where I now get all my corporate news: Al Jewzeera.
Attiya would not say whether Qatar would provide military assets for a strike, saying only that his government “is currently studying with its friends and the United Nations what it could provide in order to protect the Syrian people.”
Qatar was involved in the NATO-led strikes in Libya in 2011. It is still unclear whether the United Nations will play a greater role.
See: Qatar to the Quick
President François Hollande of France said on Friday that he wanted to wait for a preliminary report from UN inspectors. On Saturday, he said that he could seek a vote by the UN Security Council.
On Sunday, Kerry did not rule out going to the UN, even though on Saturday he said that the body “has become a tool of ideology or individual nations.”
Someone is a tool of somebody.
The United States has said the UN would be hamstrung from acting because Russia, one of Syria’s strongest allies, would use its veto power to block any effort. But the United States also needs to appease France if it is to mount strikes with other countries.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yeah, right.
Kerry continued to make clear that any strikes would be aimed at punishing Assad for using chemical weapons — and not at ousting him from office.
“The end of this civil war is going to require a political solution . . . there is no military solution,” Kerry said. “We are not seeking to become engaged in or party to, or take over, Syria’s civil war.”
Why not finish with a lie?

UPDATE:
[Looking more like "Frankenstein" than the American Secretary of State, John Kerry appeared sort of surrealistic, as he did his best impersonation of Bush giving his "surrender or else" ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. Like fellow Skull & Bones elitist Bush, Kerry has to be aware of the hypocrisy and sheer idiocy dripping from the repulsive words that he is mouthing, as he furiously pumps the organs of public opinion in an orgiastic act of self-flagellation before the gods of this world. His purpose is to seduce the American public, as well as world opinion, into allowing this premeditated murder of thousands of mostly innocent Syrians, tricking us into sharing responsibility with them for this great war crime, all in the name of promoting nonexistent "democracy" (SEE: Obama Trying To Make Rape Look Like Seduction). "Franken-kerry" is another lawyer/politician who knows full well what he is doing, meaning that there is hidden meaning in his vagueness. His extravigant claims hide the hollowness and deception of his carefully chosen words. The only way that a politician can "say nothing," is to say a lot---don't stop talking long enough for anyone to review what he has said. Kerry says to physically hand over the unclaimed, uncounted chem weapons that we think you have, or else we will blow the crap out of you for chem weapons which you might have used, all in one week.

Wow, how far the British have fallen -- just because they don't support a war.
But even while there appears to be a sense of growing international support for punishing Syria, the outlook for authorization by Congress is uncertain. Congressional votes on the proposal to launch strikes against Syria are slated to begin Wednesday.
SHAMELESS!!! Absolutely SHAMELESS!!
After a meeting on Monday morning with the British foreign secretary, William Hague, Kerry is planning to fly back to Washington and provide a closed-door briefing for the entire US House. He will brief the Senate later in the week.
Call your rep.
Nothing about the 800-Pound Gorilla in the room, huh?
“As a veteran of the congressional process, I’d just say to you that all of these early prognostications about how tough it is, or defeat here or whatever — I think are just that,” Kerry said on Sunday in Paris. “They’re early, and they’re not completely accurate.”
He alluded to it.
“The vast majority of members of Congress, House and Senate, are undecided,” he added. “And that’s why . . . the briefings are taking place.”
Undecided because they don't want AIPAC to come calling.
As Assad denied using the chemical weapons, Kerry and others tried to make a stronger case that can convince both international allies and skeptical members of Congress. On Sunday, new videos were released showing the suffering that Syrians faced from the alleged use of chemical weapons.
The compilation of videos, posted on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence website, shows rooms full of lifeless people, including children, on the floor. Some lay with their mouths agape and their eyes glazed, others are convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Then why were the alleged medical technicians not affected, and why were they injecting kids with shots? Why were kids bodies moved and photographed over and over in different spots?
“Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody anywhere by any standards,” Kerry said.
Do they?
“And it is the United States of America that has always stood with others to say, ‘We will not allow this. This is not our values. This is not who we are.’ ”
This is who we are:
10 Chemical Weapons Attacks Washington Doesn't Want You to Talk About
They will allow that, and nary a peep from John (Kohn) Kerry, a most excretable scum.
“I don’t think this case has been made enough — to enough people,” he added.
He's right about that because there is no case to make.
After the meeting with 10 Arab leaders, Kerry also said that “a number of countries” within the next 24 hours would sign onto a strongly worded statement that condemns the Syrian regime and calls for “a strong international response.”
The statement, drafted by the United States and signed by 10 other countries at the Group of 20 summit, does not explicitly endorse military strikes. On Saturday, Germany said it would sign on, and Qatar announced Sunday it would, too.
“I don’t believe the international community, if it really wanted to protect peace and security, can afford to stand still while an unarmed people is being attacked with these weapons,” Foreign Minister Khalid Al Attiya of Qatar said in a press conference. He added, “We call on all other countries to intervene to protect the Syrian people from what [they are] being subjected to.”
Qatar has been arming the organ-eating Al-CIA-Duhs, and is behind the TV network where I now get all my corporate news: Al Jewzeera.
Attiya would not say whether Qatar would provide military assets for a strike, saying only that his government “is currently studying with its friends and the United Nations what it could provide in order to protect the Syrian people.”
Qatar was involved in the NATO-led strikes in Libya in 2011. It is still unclear whether the United Nations will play a greater role.

President François Hollande of France said on Friday that he wanted to wait for a preliminary report from UN inspectors. On Saturday, he said that he could seek a vote by the UN Security Council.
On Sunday, Kerry did not rule out going to the UN, even though on Saturday he said that the body “has become a tool of ideology or individual nations.”
Someone is a tool of somebody.
The United States has said the UN would be hamstrung from acting because Russia, one of Syria’s strongest allies, would use its veto power to block any effort. But the United States also needs to appease France if it is to mount strikes with other countries.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yeah, right.
Kerry continued to make clear that any strikes would be aimed at punishing Assad for using chemical weapons — and not at ousting him from office.
“The end of this civil war is going to require a political solution . . . there is no military solution,” Kerry said. “We are not seeking to become engaged in or party to, or take over, Syria’s civil war.”
Why not finish with a lie?

Did you know China was now sending forces to the region, because I didn't see that in my war-mongering pos pre$$.
UPDATE:
[Looking more like "Frankenstein" than the American Secretary of State, John Kerry appeared sort of surrealistic, as he did his best impersonation of Bush giving his "surrender or else" ultimatum to Saddam Hussein. Like fellow Skull & Bones elitist Bush, Kerry has to be aware of the hypocrisy and sheer idiocy dripping from the repulsive words that he is mouthing, as he furiously pumps the organs of public opinion in an orgiastic act of self-flagellation before the gods of this world. His purpose is to seduce the American public, as well as world opinion, into allowing this premeditated murder of thousands of mostly innocent Syrians, tricking us into sharing responsibility with them for this great war crime, all in the name of promoting nonexistent "democracy" (SEE: Obama Trying To Make Rape Look Like Seduction). "Franken-kerry" is another lawyer/politician who knows full well what he is doing, meaning that there is hidden meaning in his vagueness. His extravigant claims hide the hollowness and deception of his carefully chosen words. The only way that a politician can "say nothing," is to say a lot---don't stop talking long enough for anyone to review what he has said. Kerry says to physically hand over the unclaimed, uncounted chem weapons that we think you have, or else we will blow the crap out of you for chem weapons which you might have used, all in one week. Putin was right, Kerry is a big fat liar, and I am pretty sure that the condition is pathological.] -- John Kerry’s Words Reveal How Often He Is Talking Out of His Ass
