Lawmakers are now drafting a resolution to go before Congress which would give the US administration a 60-day deadline for military intervention, which could be extended once for 30 more days. It would also bar any American boots on the ground.

Asked if the time limit was acceptable to administration, Kerry said it would be preferable to have "a trigger in there" if Assad used chemical weapons again.

Not likely, but if it is-show us the money and pay half up front, with a contract to pay the remainder. That is how my customers pay in these hard times-and I like most of them...

The dufe (Kerry) isn’t even bright enough to grasp the idea that Americans won’t be pleased or impressed with this news...

Is this supposed to make us feel better about it? Doesn’t work for me.

Imagine if you have a relative in the US forces. Does selling them as a Janissary whore make this a better action? Does the blood money they won’t get help?

I know that I am easily confused, but Kerry seems so contradict himself in the article.

First he says “they’ll carry that cost. That’s how dedicated they are to this.”

Next paragraph he stressed “Oviously, that is not in the cards.....”

Saudi Arabia boosts Oil Output to finance Terrorism in Syria and Iraq

Posted by: M. Klostermayr August 13, 2013 in Saudi-Arabia, Syria

According to several reports, the totalitarian dictatorship of Saudi Arabia plans to boost the oil output and to use the proceeds from the recent production hike of 400,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) to finance the arms supplies to the foreign-backed terrorist and jihadist groups in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq.

This would match the recent reports about the Saudi-financed terrorism in several Arab states of the Middle East as well as the reports about the “death squads” in Egypt after Ford was appointed as U.S. ambassador in the North African country. The term “Salvador options” is the important keyword in this relation.

The situation that the totalitarian dictatorship in Saudi Arabia is mentioned as sponsor of terrorism in the same context with its oil output comes as no surprise. Further, it is no real secret that the Saudi regime is probably one of the largest sponsors of terrorism on this globe.

The new reports say that the Saudi regime wants to use the proceeds from its recent production hike of 400,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) to fund the deliveries of new and modern weapons and ammunition into the hands of terrorist groups in Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq, and one hopes that this alleged plan of Saudi Arabia is either not true or will not work out.

More modern weapons in the hands of the jihadists and terrorists in Syria would be a huge threat for many civilians and also a very horrible imagination after the recent massacres against Syrian civilians (e.g. the gruesome massacre against Syrian Kurds in northern Syria) or the increasing violence in Egypt. Not to mention the unstable state of Lebanon and the violence in Iraq. Of course, Washington plays a part in these plan(s) of the Saudi regime. The Saudi regime is not doing much without a consultation with Washington and Tel Aviv.

So, Obama and Kerry are now more than happy to hire out the US military as some hired killer to take out the leaders that oppose the Arab Spring uprising, so as to help the Arab Spring take over?

Really? Is THAT what Kerry is most-happily spouting in the halls of Congress?

The man who once HATED war, is now willing to hire out our military as Muslim-paid and Muslim-controlled mercenaries?

Let the camel humpers fight their moronic Muslim mental midgets.

It is impossible to bomb intelligence into the Muslim mind so don’t even try.

Please just let them continue their giant circular firing squad. It is the best possible outcome when you are dealing with such inferior sub-humans.

Then, why don’t the Arab countries just do the strikes themselves?

Sooooo! Our troops would become mercenaries?? Maybe Assad will pay us more to fight for Syria. Let’s do some horse trading here and see how much we can get out this - maybe pay down the national debt. Whoooeee!
