You might think Obama and Kerry have no intention of sending American troops into harm’s way.
You’d be wrong. Read this statement from Obama very carefully:
TUESDAY Sept 3, 2013: President Obama, “So the key point that I want to emphasize to the American people: The military plan that has been developed by the joint chiefs and that I believe is appropriate is proportional. It is limited. It does not involve boots on the ground. This is not Iraq and this is not Afghanistan.”
He’s like a thief who bumps into you and apologizes so you don’t notice he’s picking your pocket. The very specific plan he’s referring to is limited and does not involve boots on the ground. And duh. We know this is not Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s Syria. He wants you to hear that sentence and conclude, without his actually saying so, that he has NO INTENTION OF EVER SENDING TROOPS IN ON THE GROUND. But that’s the lie. That’s the part where he’s stealing our trust from us to get what he wants, which is to be given the authority to send in tens of thousands of troops … ON THE GROUND.
Now carefully read this convoluted statement from Kerry:
TUESDAY Sept 3, 2013: SecState Kerry, “In the event Syria imploded, for instance, or in the event there was a threat of a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of al-Nusra or someone else and it was clearly in the interest of our allies and all of us, the British, the French and others, to prevent those weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of the worst elements, I don’t want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to a president of the United States to secure our country.”
He’s like a sheister who doesn’t want any provisions written into your contract that would make him legally liable for any of the dirty tricks he plans to pull on you after you’ve signed on the dotted line. He wants Congress to okay military intervention in Syria WITHOUT LIMITATIONS and just trust that they won’t order troops into harm’s way.
Now check out what Kerry says the very next day:
WEDNESDAY Sept 4, 2013: SecState Kerry, “There will not be American boots on the ground with respect to the civil war.”
“With respect to the civil war” … please see Obama’s prevarication re: “the military plan that has been developed by the joint chiefs” etc.
Why can we be sure these two are lying liars lying out their liar holes?
BECAUSE the Pentagon told Obama 18 months ago that there was no way to take away Syria’s existing WMDs or shut down their ability to make more WITHOUT putting boots on the ground. A LOT OF BOOTS.
Early 2012: Department of Defense report says that securing Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles and the facilities that produce them would probably require 75,000 ground troops.
And what PRECISELY did Kerry say Obama was asking Congress to give permission for?
“Authorization to degrade and deter Bashar al-Assad’s capacity to use chemical weapons.”
Do the math. If they get authorization to take out Assad’s WMDs, they’ll put tens of thousands of boots on the ground. QED.
Remember when Obama and Friends marched around chanting, “Bush Lied. People Died.”? Good times. Good times.
