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...

Aaaah, the puppet master and his puppet are reunited. This should be interesting theater now that we know the exact role of each.......

I posted this response on another post this morning, but believe it has relevance on this one as well.

What a sad day for Americans when they realize that the first negro president will be judged in history as the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive, destructive and divisive president ever.

Here is a shadow of a man twice elected because of the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.

This phony mystery figure was a stoner Marxist thug in his youth, but he now commands the U. S. military and sends our young men to the cemetery through his silly-assed insane liberal views of engagement.

Just think about it!

Obama now has to wear a blue dress for the rest of his time in the Oval Office?

Obama will never leave office—he is president for life—he or a hand picked clone will hold power forever. And they must! If they are voted out (how can they when they can cheat the vote?) they will face prison and/or exicution as traitors! So will the money men behind them and the media folk. No, they must stay in power—its life or death with them. They will figure a way, do what ever it takes to keep power—they must. So we have King and Queen Obama from now or until they are toppled. He will die in the bunker before he leaves the White House—he has no choice. can you really see him as an elder statesman like Carter or even Nixon? He can not. What ever happens—I fear, it will not end well.

Everyone in congress is suddenly acting upset on Putin, as if the reset button only applied because of Bush, as if it were a surprise secret that Putin is a thug.

They might as well include China trade in the lot.

Hypocrites and cowards comes to mind.

Indeed, the Feds empowered of their jobs at alphabet agencies have for god the total immunity and unquestionability of government.

This is Obambis chance.

Indeed, it was not long ago liberals chanted that it was a job for a police agency like Interpol.

I do not see expected lay any of e coward alphabet agencies jumping behind Obama in volunteering for this war on poverty. No it must be tax payers and children of tarty in the military to pay.

Where are the obamaphoners when their leader needs volunteers for Ben ghazi or Syria.

People lined up behind Bush on 911 across the world, with Russians even showing up with US flags at the embassy in Moscow.

FU liberals, losers, weak cowardly losers, all words and no meaning behind their blabla for equality

Everyone with an IQ above 80 realizes that Obama was played.

"Yippeee, the Putin thingy means I get back to playing golf."

“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.”

I agree with you on the damage he’s done and undoubtedly will do in the next (agggghhh) 3.5 years....

But by the time he is done, I fear the populace of the US will be so worn down, enervated, and financially devastated, most will be reduced to bare survival. Talking about the 50% (now) that don’t support him. That number may be way down by the time 0bama leaves office, with a population driven by necessity to total government dependency.

It’s the plan, you know.

Seriously, I am already seeing this very thing in so many people’s lives I don’t know why more people aren’t angry. What he has done to the economy has devastated many people’s livelihoods and I expect it to get worse. Ideally I’d like to see one of his own people whose eyes have been opened and grown a conscious to do a tell all, enough to create a riot consisting if his own people that would drag him out of the WH onto the lawn so fast the military would have no time to react but when they did they would stand own and let him take the beating. Okay fantasy over...but it was good while it lasted. If I were a cigarette smoker I’d need one after that...lol

I said about the same thing after the Clintoon double term. It seemed to me that the Clintons had to be protected by the next administration. Never crossed my mind that Bush 43 would do that but he did. Not only did GW not prosecute the rest of the Clintonoids he couldn’t even get off hisass and retire all of Clintoon’s appointments. And that is how we got here. At some point we must elect a “house cleaner” to the presidency. Term limitz could help clean out congress but first we have to clean out congress at least to the point of a working majority. 2014 is going to be a heavy lift.
