As President Barack Obama kicks off an all-out push for a strike on Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry came under fire on Monday for saying any attack would be “unbelievably small” and suggesting the Syrian ruler still had a week to give up his chemical weapons to avoid a U.S. assault - a remark Kerry’s spokeswoman later attempted to clarify.
The off-key comments came in a joint press conference in London with Britain’s foreign secretary, where Kerry said the strike would be able to harm Assad without putting American troops on the ground and with a “very limited, very targeted, short-term effort.”
“That is exactly what we are talking about doing – unbelievably small, limited kind of effort,” Kerry said, according to reports.
The comments, which dismayed even supporters of an attack on Syria, added fuel to the debate as Obama launches a full court press 48-hour media and political blitz to try to sell the plan to a skeptical American public and Congress.

They shuffled the Gaffer out of town. The Swift Boat Hero ain’t too swift either.
Official? Umm..what office does she hold right now?
oohhh, none; got it...is this campaign prep then?
Sure trying to convince us this will not be a war, not a real war- just a little “unbelievably small”...not a war. Actually it is not us they want to convince but their own anti-war voters. If this wasn’t so serious it would be pretty funny.
These people really are morons
I have never corrected anyone's grammar in a post, but I just have to say your "is" definitely needs to be "are" when writing about this administration. The incompetents are definitely plural, in fact they are all incompetent as far as I can tell.
Maybe Joe Biden is going to sneak into Asshat’s yard, put a bag of flaming dog poo on his doorstep, ring the doorbell, and run away...
Someone on Twitter said, “So what are we talking here, egging Assad’s house?”
= = =
ROTFLOLOL.
She is the Queen
Kerry to Aasad: “You’d better give up your chemical weapons, or we’ll launch an unbeliveably small attack against you!”
That's a rhetorical question....right? :-)
Problem is this is the one he is getting...
On the other hand, it may be an improvement.
Well, any attack that's “unbelievably small” is certainly nothing to worry about.
Unless it's your house that's being attacked.
“We’ll just leave a burning bag of dog poop on Assads door step”
You’re right. I wrote that fast and didn’t proofread. It should have been incompetency is or incompetents are.
LOL!
Carried out by Mr. Bean!
>> unbelievably small
Fair enough, Jean. Since you yourself said it’s unbelievable, I DON’T BELIEVE YOU.
ROFL!!! Thanks for that!
I demand to know why this administration all aren’t wearing clown suits???????!
When I call the Capitol to leave messages the staff taking down what I say are very very supportive.
