Note to self: Boxer said we have 17 intelligence agencies.

OMG: Kerry just came back to boots on the ground-— for the third time!!! He must be weary an earpiece or getting messages on his blackberry.

Kerry to Rubio:

“And I want to emphasize something; I want to come back to it cause I don’t want anybody misinterpreting this from earlier. This authorization does not contemplate and should not have any allowance for any troop on the ground. I just want to make that absolutely clear.

What I was doing was hypothesizing about a potential-—it might occur at some point in time-—, BUT NOT in this authorization, in no way, be crystal clear [CRYSTAL!], there is no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground within the authorization the Pres is asking for.

I don’t want anybody in the media or elsewhere to misinterpret that coming out of here. As I said earlier, and I will repeat it again now. That’s important.

LOL. Too late!

The resolution will not rule out boots on the ground. It will not.

John F'n Kerry - who fought in VN - probably had an earpiece, with ValJar telling him what to and not to say. Their wires must've gotten a little crossed, before the delivery.

So glad he emphasized how *important* what he said was, before he didn't say it, though. Classic Kerry.
