You know what. You think these muslim animals would be pulling this shiite if G.W. was still president.

I get a kick out of this the only reason these animals act like this is because there is no American presencs.
This is what you get when there is no American presence.
Bush was right about this.
But I don’t care if they kill each other other than the fact that they think they can bring it west.

Kerry says it’s undeniable.

Yeah: Like I would believe anything that a-hole says.

Were they treating the Rebels like Ghenghis Khan?

Precisely what does Hussein and J F’ing Kerry hope to achieve by getting us involved in a civil war in Syria?

FLASHBACK: Kerry Voted Against Gulf War, Proposed Multilateral ‘New World Order’

Has John Kerry ever been right about any foreign policy issue, ever, when it counted?

On Jan. 11, 1991, Sen. Kerry took to the floor of the Senate to oppose the Gulf War and oppose the resolution authorizing President George H.W. Bush to use force to end Saddam Hussein’s brutal occupation of Kuwait.

“It is not, in my view, imperative that in the next few days we send soldiers to fight a war,” Sen. Kerry declared.

Instead of the American-led “new world order” that Bush seemed to be creating, Sen. Kerry said, the United States should aim for a different kind of “new world order”—one that emphasized the “collective security” efforts of the United Nations, and one that rejected a “Pax Americana” in favor of a multipolar internationalist system.

Sen. Kerry’s case against the war was that other options had not yet been exhausted. He urged that sanctions be given longer to work, arguing that since Saddam Hussein was not “winning” and the U.S. was not “losing,” the status quo could be tolerated. (He neglected to mention ongoing atrocities in Kuwait or threats to U.S. allies.)

In addition, Sen. Kerry argued, President Bush had not been sufficiently deferential to Congress. He had already sent so many troops to the region that many in Congress were under duress to offer their support, Kerry said. Peppering his 36-minute address with numerous references to the Vietnam War, he insisted that Congress had to be allowed to arrive at its own “independent” assessment of the options before war could be launched.

Sen. Kerry did not apply the same standard to President Barack Obama’s war in Libya in 2011, which was launched without consultation of any kind with Congress, much less a resolution authorizing the use of force.

Notably, Sen. Kerry also blasted Syria’s “support for terrorism.” He took quite a different tack in 2009 when, as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he led efforts to reach out to the Assad regime.

Thank you for being a courteous and patriotic person, but, in John Kerry’s case, “chicken hawk” would be a compliment. If you get a chance, please read over Kerry’s 1971 book The New Soldier. Kerry went to war with a camera to record his “heroism,” met with the enemy in Paris while he (Kerry) was in uniform, and lied to Congress.

Chicken S***t would be more appropriate.

Assad had stated repeatedly he would use chemical weapons if there were foreign intervention in Syria’s civil war. According to European and Israeli papers, US trained Syrian rebel troops crossed into Syria from Jordan a couple weeks ago. It was in the repelling of these troops that the gas was used.

UK Daily Mail has article in June about the US base in Jordan where they were training for this excursion:

Well then Lurch outta be able to get his mind around the likely scenario that Assad is being set up so he and Barky can launch a cruise missile strike and get involved in another needless war. When Muslims are killing each other get out of the way.

You should hear what Noam Chomsky is saying about Obama.

He's actually starting to agree with Sarah Palin on a few things, i.e. Obama is a feckless idiot.

And we need to stop and get out of the region and remember two wrongs don’t make a right.

This is, of course, precisely what this very same cast of clowns has been screaming at Bush for all these years. Apparently it’s not a “reckless rush to war” when they’re doing it.


Bush had the courage to go to the UN and to Congress for approval. Obama will lead from behind allowing France and England to drag us into a civil war without neither the UN or Congress’ consent.

If artillery destroyed them, why did they need gas in the first place?

I am familiar with Kerry’s despicable actions and would say that ChickenS*** is wholly appropriate.
