No surprises. He’d probably refuse to rule out nuking Dallas, then backtrack on that as well.

“God help us. These idiots are about to start WW3.”

Yup. They are. But let’s end the myth of them being stupid or idiotic. They aren’t. Evil is more like it.

Remember, Kerry was for Syria before he was against it. *GAH!*

That is a true statement. What is the GOP going to say when this nonsense
goes badly wrong?

Amen. Not counting the many innocent human shields that will be killed.

Kerry can’t answer Rand Paul’s questions. John McCain snickers at Paul while he questions Kerry. John McCain is a senile old man.

So John Kerry, who served in Vietnam IIRC, would not want to rule out the ability to, oh, send in some advisors for example?

Has Kerry been asked what happens if/when we lose a ship or ships?

Are they prepared for such a possible event?

I fear for my country. It is lead by buffoons.

And the terrorist that did all that were collecting tax paid food stamps and other tax paid prizes and gifts...To the tune of hundreds of thousands of tax dollars.

And who rolled out the red carpet and welcomed them into the U.S.?

All brought to you by the U.S. Government.

Carry keeps saying all the American people want Barry to attack Syria

He also said that if Congress says NO Barry is still going to attack because thats what the Constitution allows him to do...

Sen Paul said “Ive been all over Kentucky for the past month Ive been to 40 cities. Not one pertson has told me they want us to attack Syria”

we absolutely should not limit ourselves as to what options are available.

That is reasonable. Unfortunately, too many Presidents look at bombing of a foreign country as a drive-by shooting. There must be a high threshold for a war; but once that threshold is exceeded, the war must be powerful, decisive, and short.

The goal of war is simply to force the other state to accept the will of the victor. It's not to "teach a lesson." But if Obama bombs Syria now, acceptance of what will can we expect? That Assad shouldn't poison "his people?" (Lots of fighters are not Syrians anyway.) But, quite likely, Assad was not even guilty of this particular use of chemical weapons. The whole military action has no purpose - except that is a typical drive-by, to get the enemy scared and for themselves to feel all-powerful.
