According to Fox News<\/a>, our new secretary of state, John Kerry declared to the media today that the evidence of a chemical attack in Syria is “undeniable” and some rather nebulous words about “real” and “compelling” whatever the Hell that means;<\/p>\n

The secretary of State addressed the allegations from State Department headquarters. He pointed a finger squarely at the Assad regime, sharply questioning any suggestion that the weapons could have been deployed by the opposition, or that the attack could have been staged. He called the strike a “moral obscenity” and accused the Syrian government of trying to destroy the evidence. <\/p>\n

Shortly afterward, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney echoed the remarks, saying the evidence of an attack is “undeniable” and there’s “very little doubt” that the Assad government was behind it. Carney said it is now “profoundly” in the interest of the U.S. and international community to respond. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m just saying that this “real and compelling” doesn’t answer any of my questions and it feels like we’re being told we’re going to war instead of being convinced that we need to go to war. While I agree that the use of chemical weapons is egregious and should be responded to by the community of civilized nations, I’m not sure that anything we do militarily would be effective in that regard. The two sides are pointing fingers at each other as the perpetrators, and the rebels would have the most to gain by a Western intervention at this point. Snipers shot at the UN weapons team today, that doesn’t sound like something the government would do.<\/p>\n

I think we’re being set up and the incompetent boobs who have been rushing for the exits in Afghanistan for the last four years are now running for the entrance in Syria. Like I said earlier today, it all feels like the Johnson Administration’s Gulf of Tonkin Incident as an excuse to put combat troops into Vietnam.<\/p>\n

And Kerry is talking in Joe Biden words, like he understands something that he really doesn’t. I think they’re just doing the opposite of what they did in Libya hoping that works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
