Kerry and Madam Kerry having dinner with the evil WMD villian, Assad, 2009.

In the meantime, this awkward photo of Secretary of State John Kerry and his wife dining with the Assads in 2009 has gone viral amidst Kerry's harshest criticism of the Syrian government to date. Describing the government's use of chemical weapons against civilians as a "cowardly crime" and a "moral obscenity," Kerry said, "There must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people."

He further clarified that it would be an “unbelievably small, limited kind of effort.” Now there’s a threat that should really leave Assad quaking in his boots!

So then now they’re delaying the attack by at least another week?

For the younger Freepers, did you know that John F****** Kerry was a Vietnam war hero?

This is what happens when you turn over executive positions to blowhard career senators. Legislators have no concept that you don't get do-overs as executives.

I completely agree. I am one of the few who put Senators and Congresspersons at the bottom of the preferred presidential candidates list.

Too bad that half or more of the wannabes come from Capitol Hill and most of those come out of the Senate.

Assad should call their bluff and invite the UN in to take his chemical stockpile.

Whoa, people. This is a MAJOR change in the Syria situation!

Until now, the whole basis for an attack was to punish Assad for his alleged use of gas back in August.

Now Kerry has added a new condition - give up all the chemical stockpiles too.

Kerry knows this condition will never, cannot, be met - it’s like the Obama Admin is rigging everything so there HAS to be a war.

Scary & Irresponsible - that’s Team Obama

It’s not enough that some Syrians are “volunteering” to be human shields, let’s invite the UN in to be shields too. This may be Obama’s back down strategy.

Could this be a face-saving deal brokered by Vlad Putin when he approached Barry at the G-20?

Assad hands over a half-dozen canisters of high-strength pesticide. Barry declares victory and crawls back in off the ledge.

The clue came last week when it was announced that Obama would ADDRESS THE NATION {kettle drum drum drum drum} on this URGENT issue -- next Tuesday.

They -- Obama, Kerry, et al, -- are trying to sound tough but they just don't know how to pull it off.

Assad will be shipping most of his stockpile to the Hizbollah in Lebanon. Israel, (who actually have enforced red lines) that they stand by has stated that any transfer of this stuff to Hizbollah will be destroyed. This could be Assad's chance to force Israel to attack Hizbollah in a big way thus triggering WWIII...

Seems like Kerry is on a different wavelength than his bosss. Hard to believe that Kerry is playing the Cheney role here, I mean Kerry? The world has tipped upside down if Kerry is now the hawk.

John Francoise Kerry establishes a pink line ....

John Francoise Kerry has reassured the world it will be an “unbelievably tiny attack”.

And if there is anyone who knows that size doesn’t matter except for personal yachts, it is John Francoise Kerry

<< Kerry knows this condition will never, cannot, be met -it’s like the Obama Admin is rigging everything so there HAS to be a war. >>

Which begs the question — Why? Speculative theories I’ve seen and/or thought of thus far:

1. Because they are stupid or incompetent, or both.

2. Because they are so vested in the whole “black President” thing that they’ll do anything to save him. (Requires #1 to be True).

3. Because Syria is just a continuation of The Kenyan’s life mission to bring the USA to its knees by handing over the entire Arab and Middle East area to his fellow Muslim Brotherhood brethren, who are already “within the gates” of our government. (This theory flows nicely with the circumstantial evidence that The Kenyan’s college years were financed by the Saudis.)

(Side note: Bill Ayers and his fellow Marxist/Leninist/Commie cohorts may have lost their influence over their Kenyan Prodigy, as evidenced by Ayres’ recent statements against obama attacking Syria. If true, how ironic is that? Ayres et al are the ones who schooled him in the Cloward-Pivens strategy of overwhelming the system to rebuild it. Instead of rebuilding the USA into Ayres’ Communist Utopia, his protege Barack Hussein Obama may be planning on handing over a collapsed USA to Shari’a Law worshippers.)

4. ?? (Anyone else want to play? I’m out of time)

How about Congress?

This is tantamount to a declaration of war.
