Taunting

Kerry says, "If Assad would be foolish enough to use chemical weapons after whatever action we take..."  Hello.  He was foolish enough to do it - twice! - already.  Don't you know, Kerry (and Obama) when you are being taunted?

Reserving comments until confidential discussions take place tomorrow, and hearing talking heads use the phrase "political capital," does that mean behind closed doors the Monopoly game comes out and political deals will be negotiated behind those doors?  Vote for action in Syria and we'll give you Boardwalk and Park Place; vote against it and you may end up with the "Go directly to jail" card.

Senator Murphy from Connecticut says he's thankful that Obama trusts the American people and their elected representatives to join him in this Syria question.  Well, why doesn't he trust us on the Affordable Care Act nonsense?  Only 59% are against doing anything in Syria; 80% are against the ACA.  Why does Obama feel a need to come to Congress on 59% opposition, but not 80% opposition?

Now Kerry is saying chemical weapons have been used "not once, or twice, but in the teens."  I'm curious, are these the same chemical weapons that Saddam Hussein moved out of Iraq before we could capture or destroy them?  And are they the same chemical weapons that Assad is now moving out of Syria before we can capture or destroy them?

Obama says that Syria has 1,000 tons of chemical weapons stockpiled.  Do the math.  That's 2,000,000 pounds of chemicals.  How did the international community allow that to happen?  Two million pounds!!  Tell me again what purpose the United Nations serves?

Senator Rand Paul says all of this going to Congress business is mere theatre IF Obama takes action in Syria even if Congress votes, on behalf of America, to not take unilateral action.  You go, Senator Paul.

Who is doing the taunting now?  Obama is taunting Congress and the American people. 


Any comments will come to me privately.  If they add to the conversation - whether I agree with them or not - I will post them.  If they are full of discord and wrath or are not grounded in sound facts, I will NOT post them.  It's my blog.  Be civil or be quiet.  I love a good political conversation; I abhor tactless arguments.  I admire folks who can talk politics - or religion - and remain respectful.
