Kerry Accuses Syria of Chemical Weapons Attack
NYT/Drudge ^ | 26 Aug 2013 | MICHAEL R. GORDON, ALAN COWELL and RICK GLADSTONE

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the use of chemical weapons in attacks on civilians in Syria last week was undeniable and that the Obama administration would hold the Syrian government accountable for what he called a “moral obscenity” that had shocked the world’s conscience.

In some of the most strident language used yet by the administration, Mr. Kerry accused the Syrian government of cynically seeking to cover up the use of the weapons, and he rejected its denial of responsibility for what he called a “cowardly crime.”

In some of the most strident language used yet by the administration . . .

Oh, come on. I didn't hear anything strident in the least. Just Lurch droning on.

You can't be 'strident' and 'drone' at the same time.

What proof does the United States have that these weapons were used, and which party used them?

I am calling this BS until the public is informed.

It is pure pretext...

Part of the speech is in the Intro to the Howie Carr Show today. I thought it was Kerry’s “Winter Soldier” BS. ABC radio reported this morning that the rebels said Syrian artillery had destroyed all the evidence.

On the floor of the Senate on March 27, 1986, Sen. John Kerry issued this statement: “I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the President of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared — seared — in me.”

Does he have the same conviction as he did on Iraq’s WMDs before he changed his mind?

Listened to mac daddies sock puppet, kerry, speech.

He, or the current administration, criticized the assad administration for its lack of transparency.

The whole world is rolling on the floor laughing. Mac daddy said that his administration would be the most transparent administration ever.

Well we all know what happens when mac daddy opens his mouth, lies, lies and more lies. The mac daddy administration is the least transparent administration ever. They have lied about everything, EVERYTHING.

In the world eyes this current POTUS is not only and empty suit, but it is also an administration that has no credibility with anyone.

I agree. After watching 2016 Obama’s America, I am convinced that he desires to side with all of America's enemies and snub America's allies whenever he can.
