Elliot Engel up now, the man who told Obama to strike now and get Congressional "assent" later.

3. shorter kerry: if you don't believe us, you're bad, bad, bad

fine, I believe you and I still oppose military action.

hey kerry, the U.S. didn't sign on to the Geneva protocols on chemical and bio weapons until 1974. We were the last industrialized nation to ratify it.

8. Kerry can't get away from his MUNICH line

what brain-dead advisers approved that one?

While I'm 100% opposed to his goals, a little finesse and more respect for people's intelligence would be nice.

9. OMFG. I can't believe Kerry is quoting Elizabeth O'Bagy. Who next? Syria Danny?

On Elizabeth O'Bagy (the chief US groupie of the Fee Syrian Army) an American correspondent in the Middle East sent me this: "so what they don't tell you is that she’s a senior member of the Syrian Emergency Task Force the pro-FSA lobbying group which took mccain to syria and is pushing for intervention, meaning she ’s paid by a pro-FSA group."
