I am now at Ron Johnson. As others have said he is focused and quite skilled at sifting through the BS.

Kerry: limited, limited, limited, limited, limited......strike

Johnson: But regime change is the Obama Adm’s stated goal

Kerry: Yea but is Congress ready to pay for 30 days of 30,000 air strikes to take out-—and is there a legal justification for doing that...

[slippery, slippery]

Johnson: What do we know about the opposition? .... It seems like initially the opposition was more Western-leaning, more moderate, more democratic. As time has gone by it has degraded and more infiltrated by AlQaeda. Is that basically true?

KERRY: NO! That is actually, basically not true. That is basically incorrect. The opposition has increasingly become more defined by its moderation; more defined by the breadth of its membership, and more defined by its adherence to you know democratic process and to an all-inclusive minority-protecting constitution which will be broad-based and secular with respect to the future of Syria....

Hagel doesn’t know the numbers of the opposition. Demsey and Hagel REFUSE to give Johnson the breakdown between moderate vs elements of AlQaeda.

Whether or not Hezbollah has chem weapons can only be answered in classified briefing.

Kerry then gives some numbers....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOW! MAJOR lying and hiding going on here-— Worse than “boots on the ground.”

Note to self: Get transcript of Johnson query

“Secretary Clinton supports the President’s effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime’s horrific use of chemical weapons,” a Clinton aide told POLITICO.

Someone should ask Kerry if this action passes the “Global Test”?

Kerry looked like a toss between a nervous whore in church and a child scribbling in a coloring book when Rand Paul was addressing him.

This is what Chemical Weapons looks like, from Iraq. I didn't want to post gruesome pics.


Have we seen pictures like this yet? Or just the staged ones. We are being set up by Al-Qaida and Democrats!

ADD: that pic was from CNN, and there is no way to know if it's Syria or old from Iraq.
It is unknown because CNN is the propaganda arm of Obama.

Jeff Flake (paraphrase): Why are we waiting three weeks to take action now when Obama refused to wait re: Libya

Kerry: It’s somewhat surprising to me that someone in Congress, particularly on the FRC, is going to question the Pres fulfilling the vision of the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution and divided powers on foreign policy to have the Pres come here an honor the orig intent of the founding fathers in ways that do not do any thing to detract from the mission itself. Gen Demsey will tell you [blah, blah, blah]

“We can adjust to any changes or shifts Assad makes in that [intervening] time.

Arrogant, pompous, reprimanding response while deflecting the question.
