Putin Makes Obama Pay a High Price for Syria Escape
FOX News ^ | Sept 12, 2013 | By Chris Stirewalt

John Kerry can finally say he knows how Richard Nixon felt.

Kerry rose to power because of his leading role in the American antiwar movement of the 1970s. His testimony accusing, sometimes wrongly, American soldiers of atrocities in Vietnam launched a political career that took him to the Senate, the Democratic nomination for the presidency and, now, to the top post in President Obama’s cabinet.

Vladimir Putin rose to power because of his service in the KGB, which in the 1970s was trying to exploit and manipulate the American antiwar movement. We know that while Kerry and others on the left were comparing American troops to Genghis Kahn and throwing their medals away, the KGB was working overtime to infiltrate antiwar groups and overtly propagandizing with the same messages embraced by American liberals.

Kerry has certainly changed his tune. It would appear that Putin has not.

Kerry, more than any other American, can take credit for bringing the country to the cusp of entering the Syrian civil war on the side of Islamist rebels. His relentless sales pitch in speeches, in internal administration debates and to members of Congress very nearly precipitated U.S. airstrikes against Syria in reprisal for the use of chemical weapons last month in that country’s years-long civil war.

When President Obama opted to duck the decision on launching the strikes, Kerry chased the war plan down Pennsylvania Avenue to Congress. There, relying on what we have since learned is some intelligence from at least one questionable source, Kerry vainly sought congressional approval for going to war.

But the same dovish tendencies inside the Democratic Party that made Kerry famous and powerful...

While Obama is regretting his Syria quandary, Kerry is reveling in the fantasy of being an international hero.

Jim, if you noticed, they aren’t using the term “tailored strike” anymore...

Why?

Because I said it sounded like a sewing circle or a Martha Stewart episode helping fags pick out fabrics for their drapes.

In Hindsight, Kerry Says He'd Still Vote for War
even if he had known then that U.S. and allied forces would not find weapons of mass destruction.

"I believe if you do the statesmanship properly, I believe if you do the kind of alliance-building that is available to us, that it is appropriate to have a goal of reducing our troops" by August 2005, Kerry told reporters

British Parliament votes against possible military action in Syria

Kerry derided Syrian President Bashar Assad as a “two-bit dictator” who will “continue to act with impunity,”

Obama says that Syria’s WMDs are a direct threat to the United States.

Then Obama gave Putin the control of helping to remove the WMDs and secure the US!

WOW.

At what point does Obama get arrested for treason, taken to GITMO for aggressive interrogation to learn who the others in his cell are?

Kerry only throw away his ribbons -- not the medals themselves.

They’re talking on Fox right now about how the Sissy- Boy is afraid of Little ol’ Vladimir Putin, a Real Bad-Ass, who could twist Bambi into a Pretzle in 2 seconds, at the least provocation.

Though many don’t seem to agree on this I’m hoping he gets Zimmermanized. Definitely well deserved and rightfully so or all the chaos, fear, and tremendousstrain he’s put this country through. The list of damages he’s inflicted on thisn ation will fill volumes of hard drives and books in the future.

Putin, a man who worked for the secret police and kept the Gulag working, a man who aspires to be Russia’s President for Life, and the man whom Obama has turned to to get him out of the mess he, Obama, created with idle threats. You don’t get to be President for Life in Russia by being honest and sincere. Obama would know that if he hadn’t had so much Marxist claptrap shoved into his wee brain during his “education.”

Ronald Reagan is now but a shadow and a whisper to this nation of what a real leader to a nation once was.

We must remember the message from Obama to Putin...”I will be more flexible after the election”.

Now we must ask ourselves, is this the flexibility being shown now?

Behind the smoke and mirrors what is Obama and VC Lover Kerry signing away to Putin for this sham war over Syria that Obama was going to start?

God help Putin if Obama and Kerry signed over Texas to Putin...... Some commie is going to get an ass kickin....bwhahahahahahha
