The best part:
Jabbing his finger, Kerry disagreed, saying it was guaranteed that Assad would use chemical weapons again if the U.S. doesn't act.
Kerry, a Vietnam veteran,The Washington Post reminds us.
reminded Paul that "you've got three of us here who have gone to war" and that they know what it involves.They do. Then ends with bluster, claims victoritah, everybody laughs and laughs. I am not impressed with the polemics, though, maybe somebody is. Three of them went to war so that is proof that Assad will use chemical weapons again.
When do they imagine that to happen, anytime I suppose, apparently everyone was laughing too much to ask, the article is brief on the Washington Post and closes abruptly, but my first guess would be on the 2nd anniversary of Obama's red-line statement.
I happened to turn on the t.v. with Sharpton following and critiquing the Facebook opinion of the most important person in the world, Sarah Palin, saying how despicable, dith-PICK-able it is to politicize something so important as war.
!
It was like a ghostly apparition, death itself, two round lifeless taxidermy eyes upon a ghastly skeletal mouth opening and closing mechanically up and down, frighteningly close to a demented self-willed ventriloquist's doll with a strangely groomed mustache and a tuff of sparse frizzy hair glued on top, speaking to itself in a mirror, horrified at its own image, terrified by its aggressively feminine pink vitality so close to its own end.

Lurch volunteered for a group that wasn't supposed to see much action until its assignment was changed and then gamed the system to bail out with a couple of Purple Owies.
Hagel, to his credit, did a tour as an infantry squad leader, but apparently left the bloviating to Jean Francois.
But any proof that Assad will use gas again is coming from the same place where Choom is doing all the leading.
We're in slam dunk territory again.
And, if we're not going to take out the Pencil-Neck or destroy his stocks, how does that deter him from using them again?
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) today released the following statement on the President’s Saturday announcement to delay military strikes on Syria in order to outline his strategy for Congress:
“To earn my vote of support for limited military intervention, President Obama must present a clear plan focused on effective humanitarian intervention or our national security interests.
“Tens of thousands have been killed by the Assad regime in this brutal conflict — relatively few by chemical weapons. A military response that places an arbitrary focus on such weapons will do little to protect civilians and sends a deeply misguided signal that totalitarian regimes should only use conventional weapons to carry out mass murder.”
Obama isn't stupid. This isn't about chemical weapons. It's about something else which he's not talking about is my best guess.
So, would Kerry feel better if the next 1,000 were killed with bullets? What's the big deal about chemical killings?
Fuck off, Kerry.
Wag the dog.
Wag the dog.
Immigration reform?
I wonder if their common background in ophthalmology doesn't allow Paul to see eye to eye with Assad about certain key issues. Say what you want about Assad but there's no Obamacare in Syria.
Was Kerry's big "gotcha" supposed to be that, as a veteran, he gets to define what constitutes "war"?
Really? That was counted as a rhetorical victory for Kerry, was it? Eesh.
You see, Kerry knows that anyone that goes to war will commit an atrocity, and then they'll do it again, all Chenghis Khan style. Really, he knows all about people committing atrocities in wartime, he saw Americans do it over and over and over again and again and again and he talked and talked and talked about it again and again and again and it almost won him the Presidency, and it did get him a super-rich wife, and now he's the Secretary of State, and he is going to talk and talk and talk about people committing atrocity after atrocity after atrocity again and again and again until the American people agree to stop Bashar Assad by blowing up a few tens of thousands of Arabs children we never met in a civil war that has nothing to do with us except that the President needs to look butch because he can't keep his fucking mouth under control in front of the cameras.
Got that? Kerry knows these things, man, because he has made a fucking fortune out of talking about what blood thirsty bastards his comrades in arms were when he was a young man.
Really, how did we end up with this group of people in charge?
Obama isn't stupid. This isn't about chemical weapons. It's about something else which he's not talking about is my best guess.
Chick, I'm not sure you can make the case he isn't stupid unless you make the case that he's extremely evil. I wrote the following on another thread, and it applies to all questions about our Syria 'policy':
And the big question is this: Should the Assad regime be toppled, how can we be certain that the chemical weapons will end up in the hands of 'responsible' people, that is, people who will be certain to let international agencies take the weapons and dispose of them, instead of letting various AQ types and the like get their hands on them?
Unless there is an answer to this question that is really, SERIOUSLY convincing, we need to let the Russians and the Iranians keep Assad in power.
How are they going to contain the chemical weapons in case of the Assad regime toppling? They don't appear to have given this any thought in the Administration, though presumably someone at the Joint Chiefs has considered it. If they can't answer this basic question about what happens when Assad's government collapses, they've got NO reason to do a goddamned thing about it.
It is strange that Rand Paul is one of the few politicians advocating for the position a large majority of Americans favor.
Certainly it makes it that much harder to paint him as a loony.

I also note that Sarah Palin and Andrew Sullivan are on the same side (sort of). Sullivan is noted side switcher, though.
Yeah. Kerry was soundly rejected by Amricans who now have to watch him pontificate on his having served in a war.
Retch. And puke. What an ass.
I breezed by TOP a day or two ago and commenter riverrat had some choice things to say, seeing as he was a couple boats down from the highly decorated liar who now serves Secretary of State of this great nation on Christmas Eve when the highly decorated liar said he was in Cambodia.
