Kerry said that it would be limited. In fact he will be leaving on his yacht any day now to shoot some bottle rockets at Assad.

Incompetents in office is always dangerous.

The rest of the world is watching, taking notes, of this bungling buffoonery.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

They have no message discipline.

Kerry says the airstrikes would be unbelievably small.

Rice said airstrikes might fall outside legal framework..(ie be illegal.)

Incredible.

Men and women who lack wisdom and a grasp of the situation at hand tend not to admit a mistake. Already, this administration has asked for war to save Obama from embarrassment. Now they want permission for a little tiny strike. Wasn't the bombing of Libya supposedly just so the defeated "freedom fighters" would be protected as they returned home? Oops.

Nobody's connecting the dots. Obama never saw one unintended consequence of labelling Snowden a traitor. That would be that with that Obama alienated a lot of his base....the already disillusioned progressives.

A wounded beast is the most dangerous.

What's really going on while we're being distracted by the shiny object?

You are correct again. This is always the first question to ask each and every time something "new and important" engages the news media collective's total attention.

Excellent point/observation:

Kerry says the airstrikes would be unbelievably small.

Rice said airstrikes might fall outside legal framework..(ie be illegal.)

Incredible.

Reminds me of what my Granddad used to say about liberals decades ago. “How do you know liberals are lying? When they start to talk!”

The incompetence just keeps oozing out the these POS wannabe’s and then they spend 3 days trying to weasel out of what they meant to say! All the while the little fire is turning into an inferno!

Our poor USA is turning into a laughing stock of a country. :(

Yeah.

Things are urgent, but not too urgent to interrupt Obama’s golf games.

Things are urgent, but not too urgent that Obama delays until Congress returns from vacation.

Things are urgent, but not too urgent that Obama can delay addressing the Nation for nearly a week on how urgent the need to take action is.

Things are urgent, but not too urgent that they would need ‘boots on the ground’ to ensure that the chemical weapons were secured.

Things are urgent, but not too urgent that Kerry says the strikes would only be small.

==

We continue to get mishmash of jumbled up information.

The Administration cannot even state why they are supporting the rebel faction over the Assad faction.

The Administration cannot even state what the compelling national interest is for the US.
