Kerry: Bombing other countries is not "Going to war."
Last edited Tue Sep 3, 2013, 03:44 PM USA/ET - Edit history (5)
The increasingly embarrassing John Kerry is... well, increasingly embarrassing.
In his Senate testimony (going on currently- Tuesday afternoon) he said that people who have served, like himself and Hagel and McCain, know that what Obama is requesting is "nothing like going to war."
Anyone who thinks dropping bombs on the assets of the government of a foreign country for the purpose of punishing that government (and most likely killing human beings thereby) is not "going to war" has no business holding any power or responsibility.
And since Obama doesn't reign in the Kerry Show we are left to assume Kerry continues to speak for the administration.
This is very sad.
This is the guy whom they claimed was the actual 2004 election victor. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3588257) And he's making them CRY, parsing words and otherwise pimping the Syrian attack to anyone who'll listen. It's SAD, I tell ya.

47. Yeah he does....and that "SOB" served his country
I think he has earned a right to his opinion.
Yeah, only those who served are entitled to an opinion...except, whoops, neither the 0bama chickenhawk nor the Biden chickenhawk served one measly day in uniform. Odd, that. Meanwhile "JFK" totes the piss bucket and takes a swig every now and then.

16. An act of war is "not going to war."
He was talking about a ground war.
Drone strikes are bombings, and these are not the same as ground wars. The 9/11 bombings were an act of war. The retaliation was the United States going to war with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The difference is not hard to understand.

42. What happened to the John Kerry we once knew?
You never knew him, moron. He changes with public sentiment.
Gee, Kerry, you might want to call People magazine and tell them you're all for fag rights. Anything to take the scrutiny away, huh?

As I recall, it was mentioned once, maybe twice, during his humiliating, failed attempt to win the job to which he is now a slave.

I think those on the receiving end would disagree, DUmbass...

You mean the Kerry who testified to congress that his fellow men committed war crimes, and threw his medals over the WH fence in protest?
Or the Kerry who got three dubious purple hearts and left the theatre early under also dubious circumstances.
Or maybe the Kerry that left his three kids with a severely depressed wife so he could go be playboy extraordinaire?

Ironically, the UN Secretary General announced that an outside country attacking either side in Syria, when that country had not been attacked or directly threatened with attack by one of the sides, and without UN approval, would be a war crime. It looks like Kerry and Obama are about to commit a war crime.

Flip-flopper flopping again......he was against bombing the communist thugs in North Viet Nam before he was for bombing the Muslim thugs in Syria.

The idiot in chiefs incompetant bumbling over the last 5 years would be amusing if the consequences were not so unsettling.
Who could have guessed the only true words to spew out of Hilarys mouth were her questioning what O would do when the 3:00 AM phone call came.
