John Kerry's Syria Solution In The Works For Months

[Beer Swiller]

39. Spin away. Feel better about your beliefs. Avoid cognitive dissonance.

G'head!

I really don't care who gets the credit, so long as my country is not dragged into yet another unnecessary war so a few people can make money or one party or the other can score political points. I realize that people like you don't care one whit for what I just said; everything's a zero-sum-game, D v R, Blue Team v Red Team, political game for you.

But your demigod Obama lost this round, to We The People, not only of the United States, but of the world, triggered by the British in particular. No way, no how, did Obama expect THAT vote in the British Parliament. Makes me proud of my Scottish and English blood relatives, it does. I know you won't admit that, and I know I'll be attacked with all sorts of snark, but I don't care.

Obama's first option in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria, by nobody really knows whom, was to militarily intervene. He came right out and said so. But that was multi-diminisional chess? His lying to us was just brilliant statesmanship? Do you really expect most of the American people to actually believe that?

I think you're, well, a wee bit fanatical, in your support for whatever Barack Obama does. I pity you.

I, a son of New Deal Democrats, for whom Jesus sat on the right hand of God and FDR upon the left, say this.

Take your best shot. If it's a good one, I might even respond.
