I can’t
handle watching either U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speak, or
listening to Obama talk. I would rather
listen to my toilet drain, then listen to Obama, or watch paint dry then look
at Kerry, something about him reminds me of Lurch from the Addams Family, and all I
can hear is “you rang,” when he’s on my screen. I guess Putin feels the same way, because he’s been called to the carpet by Vladimir Putin, for lying about Al Qaeda’s involvement in Syria!
He said "anything that is outside the U.N. Security Council is aggression, except self-defense. Now what Congress and the U.S. Senate are doing in essence is legitimizing aggression. This is inadmissible in principle."
In remarks that could raise tension further before he hosts President Barack Obama and other G20 leaders on Thursday, Putin also said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lied to Congress about the militant group al Qaeda's role in the Syrian conflict.
"They lie beautifully, of course. I saw debates in Congress. A congressman asks Mr. Kerry: 'Is al Qaeda there?' He says: 'No, I am telling you responsibly that it is not'," Putin said at a meeting of his human rights council in the Kremlin.
"Al Qaeda units are the main military echelon, and they know this," he said, referring to the United States. "It was unpleasant and surprising for me - we talk to them, we proceed from the assumption that they are decent people. But he is lying and knows he is lying. It's sad."
Putin did not give any more details.
In an exchange with a senator, Kerry was asked whether it was "basically true" that the Syrian opposition had "become more infiltrated by al Qaeda over time. Kerry said: "No, that is actually basically not true. It's basically incorrect".
We have to love the insertion of “basically,” because it tells us that there was truth in what Putin was saying, and Kerry was trying to find a creative way to “lie beautifully.”
The fact is, the UN hasn’t rushed to judgment on who used the gas on the people, only Obama has chosen to act as judge, jury, and executioner, and is choosing sides, after two long years, and he has now chosen to side with the Al Qaeda rebels. Where was his “humanitarian” side after the first thousand people were gassed and killed by Al Qaeda and the extremist rebels?
This civil war didn’t start yesterday. Has anyone stopped to think that once we “allow” King Obama to fire on Syria, we won’t be able to stop him from putting boots on the ground or how we are going to pay for all of this, and still defend OUR home in the process? Sadly, no one will prosecute him for war crimes for Libya OR starting this war; both are impeachable offenses.
Last paragraph. I think that is why he's having so much trouble getting meaningful support. The is a definite lack of credibility, and after four and half years we're all pretty much acquainted with the real king and what he says and actually does. No trust, or, too much trust.
ReplyDeleteMs. Nelson wrote a great Article here. But i want to comment on something else. When he did what he did a long time ago saying what he said about the Viet Nam Vets pissed me off so much that the sound of his voice or the mention of his name brought me to great personal upset. What a BASTARD he is indeed. One of those "It is all about me kinds of Bastards".
ReplyDeleteso true, bee, he waited two days into the war he started in Libya, before he asked for forgiveness or permission, from Congress. Now he wants to do it again?
ReplyDeleteHe's like the bully, in the school yard that gets a thrill-up-his-leg, from the crowd chanting, "fight fight fight," only his girls are too young to send to war, he'll be sending our boys and girls to fight for Al Qaeda, and we aren't even sure if he's telling the truth, and it was Assad or the Al Qaeda Rebels, whom he's been shipping arms to, from the consulate in Libya. The UN won't even "confirm or deny" what he's saying, before we bomb Assad.
I loved his, "It's not a declaration war." What? IF we had warships posted off our shores, and a Tomahawk missile landed in the US, wouldn't WE see it as a "declaration of war" and retaliate accordingly?
ah yes, "Lurch" is NOT one of my favorite people, because of what he said, his self-inflicted, band-aid Purple Heart and of his dishonorable treatment of the Vietnam Vets. He's a waste of space, gray matter, and air time on my television, when he's on!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually amazed he went on camera and admitted that "Saddam used WMD in Iraq." Bush is probably saying, "See, I told you so!" ;)
