So while the world breathes easier because the Russians have at least temporarily halted the Obama Administration’s rush to military action in Syria, John Kerry is promising that the threat of force is serial (yeah, I know it’s “serious” – watch South Park sometime). From the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Kerry issued the warning during a stop in Jerusalem, where he briefed jittery Israeli leaders on the new U.S.-Russian plan to rid neighboring Syria of its chemical weapons by the middle of next year. In comments aimed at his hosts, Kerry said the deal also served as a “marker” for the international community as it deals with Iran’s suspect nuclear program.<\/p>\n

“We cannot have hollow words in the conduct of international affairs,” Kerry said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Says the most hollow man in American politics trying to keep the spotlight on himself. Meanwhile, Military.com<\/a> speculates on whether or not there will be boots on the ground in Syria.<\/p>\n

The White House and the Pentagon have repeatedly ruled out “boots on the ground” in Syria, but Defense Department officials were less certain Thursday on whether U.S. military personnel might be sent to help secure or destroy Syria’s chemical weapons.<\/p>\n

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little gave a vague answer when asked if U.S. troops were prepared to assist should an international agreement allow Russia to take control of the tons of chemical weapons believed to be in the stockpiles of President Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to speculate on who may or may not be participating in a process that may or may not take place,” Little said. “We’ve got to see where the process goes” before the U.S. military considers involvement, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s just DoD being circumspect. I wonder why no one asked about the two ships in the Mediterranean with 300 Marines on each of them – to me that’s more indicative of their intentions that some politi-speak from a low-level functionary. <\/p>\n

If the Obama Administration were on the ball, they’d take this situation and turn it around on the Russians and convince them to take al-Assad and some of his minions out of the country and bring an end to the war – although you and I both know that these types of wars never end over there. Let the Russians work out the details to end the deaths of thousands in this pointless civil war. I’m just saying that the Obama Administration can get the initiative back if they turn this temporary set-back into a permanent solution. But, look who I’m talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
