good point, and they were never treating the older people. What happened to them? No videos? Like I said, I’m just asking a question here.

...”Unless there is a popular uprising of demonstrations, this is a done deal”.....

Don’t bet too much on the Turks either. They did indeed have their chance but couldn’t keep the Ottoman empire running. Between inbreeding and lead poisoning in the water system their leader class dunced itself out of effective range. The only real hope for the entire ME is the young crowd who are rapidly westernizing, including marrying fewer sisters. Anyone serious about bringing the ME somewhere near the 20th century should be focused on coaching-up the young folks in things like ethics, representative gov’t, business mgt, industry and so on. And maybe even arming them. A million Liberator 45’s spread around the ME would seriously promote polite society.

Kerry just said the Russians are “cooperating” on North Korea and Iran. The lies never cease!

Kerry (re: boots on the ground-— IN ONE BREATH):

“It would be preferable not to not because the the the there’s any intention or any plan or any desire whatsoever to have boots on the ground. I think the Pres would give you every assurance in the world as am I as as the Sec of Defense and the Chairman,

“BUT in the event that Syria imploded or in the event that their was a a a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of a Al Nusrah or someone else and it was clearly in the interests of out allies or all of us-—the British, the French, or others-—to prevent those WMD from falling into the hands of the worst elements, I don’t want to take OFF the table an option that might or might not be available to the Pres of the US to secure OUR COUNTRY.

“So, that was the ONLY kind of example, the ONLY thing I can think of that would immediately leap to mind to say, you know...

Mendendez interrupts: “Well if we said that there would be no troops on the ground for combat purposes...

KERRY: Well, assuming that in the going to protect those weapons, whether or not they had to answer a shot in order to be secure, I don’t want to speak that. Bottom line is this. Can I give you the bottom line?

I am absolutely confident that it is easy, not that complicated, to work out language that will satisfy the Congress and the American people that there is no door open here through which someone can march in ways the Congress doesn’t want it to while still protecting the national security interests of the country....

The bottom line is the Pres has no intention and will not and we do not want to put American troops on the ground to fight this or be involved in the fighting of this civil war.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BS: We are certain the rebels ALREADY have chem weapons! Boots WILL be on the ground!

OK, Mr. Kerry. SO the strike will be limited, but what happens if it topples Assad? Is Israel better off with an Al Queda state as opposed to Assad?!

Israel will be FORCED to strike an AQ-run Syria, almost immediately, triggering a wide Middle East War. Which might be exactly the plan for Obama and his jew-hating minions.

Israel will go after Damsacus if she’s struck..and said that they would.... Then the other nations will surely react....all in their own time of choosing...Obamas strike is the match on the whole affair.

I just want to know what has changed since these photos and today. I think Kerry should be required to admit the truth if he wants his effing war.
