September 8, 2013 9:09 AM White House Admits It's a Coalition of One By Patrick Brennan
When asked this morning if the U.S. has any pledges of military support for strikes in Syria, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough emphasized that the G20 and other nations have made supportive condemnations of the Syrian governments actions, but repeatedly pressed by CNNs Candy Crowley, provided no examples of countries that have endorsed or will provide personnel or equipment for a military intervention.
He wouldnt explicitly admit that the U.S. actually has no allies willing to provide support, saying, youre trying to get me to say that, but Im not going to say it. There is specific support from the EU and others, he said, for holding Syria accountable.
McDonough argued it was encouraging that a number of other countries and even a former president of Iran have come around and agreed that the U.S. has made a convincing case that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons in August.
Actually, this does seem to sum up Obama’s argument for war-mongering.
I guess some half-hearted cheering from the bleachers constitutes support - rah...
This is a hilarious opportunity to have fun at the expense of the administration, just by coming out and *naming* countries who *might* have said this, just for their denials.
“Sweden, Norway, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. All are in favor of the US launching an aggressive war against Syria.”
I’m sure Candy already has the transcript.
Funny that Obama cites an Iranian president as showing support.
I watch that creep being interviewed by Chris Wallace. He never answered on question. You can see the contempt for America on his face.
I sure do. It's the ONLY thing Obama has been consistent with all along.
