John Kerry links Britain to derailing of Obama's plan for intervention in Syria
UK Guardian ^ | January 5, 2016 | David Smith

Barack Obama’s plan for military intervention in Syria was abruptly derailed by David Cameron and British members of parliament, US secretary of state John Kerry claimed on Thursday. The American president said he would bomb the Syrian regime if it used chemical weapons but he did not follow through on his promise.

At this point, John Kerry is the equivalent of the homeless guy, standing on the busy corner downtown, mumbling about how Herbert Hoover and the Queen of England stole his breakfast sandwich.

Cause avoiding stains on his legacy is what this war is all about, apparently.

Yeah, after May criticized Kerry’s recent speech on Israel, I was wondering when they would get around to blaming Britain for stuff.

Maybe Australia is next.

We don’t need more ‘intervention’ in Syria.

We were/are already backing, training and arming AQ and other terrorist entities if not ISIS itself.

We need to get the hell out of that place and never go back.

Four people gave their lives in Benghazi so Clinton/Obama/Jarrett could get high impact munitions to ISIS/ISIL

Now Ketchup Boy Kerry wants to bomb bomb bomb and stir up hatred for America anywhere he can.

They are trying desperately to ramp up WWIII before Jan 20.
