"It's odd and out of character for Kerry to (1) not be very suspicious of it being Assad who's responsible for the use of chemical weapons and (2) be speaking about war as a solution to anything and (3) seriously believing that the scope of war involvement can be contained."

Just how can you believe any of your words? Do you actually believe Kerry has EVER stood for those points on any occasion it didn't personally benefit him against only Republican leaders? Can't you see he's always only been a lying, opportunistic idiot throughout his whole life? Do you remember the Swift Boat guys who were able to tie him down with just a handful of his lies?

Some people here on Free Republic have an incredibly short memory, or wrongly choose to be overly courteous to America's enemies.

Some people here have an incredibly short memory (re: about Kerry)

My memory about Kerry goes way back, to his leadership of VVAW. It was not the easiest path to success for a Yale graduate and Forbes relative. I remember him being very passionate and sincere about protesting the war in VietNam once he was discharged. Having been in harms way, he's the last person I'd believe would be advocating war as a solution to this quagmire. Also, he's not stupid and I find it hard to understand why he hasn't addressed our questions about the circumstances of chemical weapons being unleashed in Syria.

The Swift Boat thing I always thought was an exaggeration and it was easy for veterans who did not fare as well as he did after the war to "remember" the incident.

Kerry and even Biden might be weak links for Obama, having actually had experience with the horrors of war. We might get further with them with serious questions and some respect for their life experiences. JMHO
