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. 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.
ProSense, 0bama's personal food taster.

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?
