Kerry: ‘Beyond A Reasonable Doubt’ Assad Conducted Gas Attack

Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the United States believed "beyond a resonable doubt" the Assad regime conducted a devastating chemical weapons attack against the Syrian people last month.

"It did happen and the Assad regime did it," Kerry said at a Senate hearing on whether to approve President Barack Obama's request to intervene militarily in the country.

"Our intelligence community has scrubbed and descrubbed the evidence," Kerry said, citing in part hair and blood samples collected by first responders.

"We have physical evidence of where the rockets came from and when. Not one rocket landed in regime controlled territory. All of them landed in opposition-controlled or contested territory," Kerry added.

1. Assad wants the US to attack...

in my opinion. Only a US attack or invasion can save him from the surrounding rebels. "Don't throw me in that briar patch, Mr Obama..."

2. I don't disagree with Kerry. Assad is a psychopath and gassed Syrian citizens.

What I disagree with is the official response of the US government. Especially when children are dying in THIS country every day and no effort made to stop it.

3. How does that threaten US national security?

4. Beyond who's reasonable doubt?

So far we've only been fed the governments point of view on this. I'm not inclined to take that fop's word for it.

6. That "fop" rates a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with "V" for valor, and three Purple Hearts.

I'm not inclined to give much credence to the opinions of puerile name-callers.

5. It's a slam-dunk! Bring back memories? n/t
