Our very selective outrage over "moral obscenities"

12. Yes he is. Kerry's been trying to stop war in Syria PERSONALLY since 2005

and he has taken a ton of criticism for his efforts. Had any of you known this you wouldn't possibly be sounding so obtuse now.

Bush had both Clintons and many others supporting an invasion of Syria in 2005, and Kerry went to Assad and developed a relationship with him to try and work through diplomatic measures and he did so on his own knowing that the war hawks wanted to go to war. He kept up the relationship and kept appealing to Assad and his wife's gentler sides while being heavily mocked for it by the GOP and the press.

Obama's big mistake with Syria was tapping Hillary Clinton for Sec of State. She refused to do anything to advance a relationship with Syria, she was never considered an honest broker there, and by 2012 the window of opportunity closed. Had Obama tapped Kerry to be Sec of State from get go, I am certain he would have gotten Assad through the Arab Spring and eventually out of the country.

Now, I expect Kerry will be getting it from all those who were willfully ignorant about Syria matters the last 8 years.
