IF this occurred, I suspect it included every chem weapons release since this civil war started, not just the recent stuff.

That said, I don’t believe one fecking thing uttered by any member of this regime.

The film of a sea of dead adult wrapped bodies and 400 of wrapped up children's bodies side by side means this has to be stopped or does the world's countries let it keep happening?

While it's brutal, awful and sad... it's still not our fight. This country in 2008 chose, through its election of Obama, to descend to the second tier of world power, and the funding of our military reflects that mindset. We can't be all things to all people.. The UN, the Arab League, NGOs and others can tend to getting a cessation of hostilities and begin the process of rebuilding. ...But it's not our fight. We're a severely declining country in our own right. We don't need any more foreign adventures right now.

Lets assume, just for one mad moment, that Kerry isn’t lying, and 1,429 people, including at least 426 children were killed in chemical weapons attacks. That still leaves a lot of important, unresolved issues:

1. Who launched the attack — the regime, or the rebels?

2. Of the 1,003 adults killed, how many were innocent civilians, vs. ununiformed combatants? *

3. Of the children, how many were being used as human shields? (If, that is, the attack was launched by the regime. Otherwise, the question becomes how many were herded by the rebels, to serve as unwilling martyrs for the cause?)

*It’s a war crime for a combatant to be out of uniform, after allowing sufficient time from the beginning of hostilities for the provision of uniforms.

The Jews of Syria-1948 Jewish population: 30,000 2003: Fewer than 100

Essentially Syria implemented their final solution during and immediately post war.You might recall Alois Brunner, Eichman's assistant, not only fled to Syria, but was an advisor to the Syrian government. Survived a failed Mossad hit and extradition attempts.

The regime is SO concerned about muslim women and children getting killed halfway around the world, but doesn’t give a whit about Mexicans and Americans getting killed along our southern border. Imagine if they had the same outrage about the federal agents murdered or even the US Ambassador to Lybia.

This is nothing but support for muslims.

But baraq Hussein Obama is not a muslim. Just ask his media.

Kerry is talking out of his other mouth, obviously.

Didn’t he give a version of that speech during the Winter Soldier hearings back in 1971? Sure seems like the same basic spiel to me.
