considering Kerry's plan.

Let's give credit where it's due...

(30,439 posts)6. It was Kerry's plan
Syria, Russia seize on Kerry plan: give up arms
Offhand proposal sets off flurry
Moscow, Sept. 9: A seemingly offhand suggestion by secretary of state John Kerry that Syria could avert an American attack by relinquishing all of its chemical weapons received a widespread, almost immediate welcome from Syria and Russia.
The UN, the UK and even some Republicans viewed the proposal as a possible way to avoid a major international military showdown.

You're being fed misinformation. Kerry floated the idea.

(2,165 posts)7. And immediately dismissed it.
The Administration then went on to say that Kerry was speaking out his ass.
But you go right on with your spin....
Cali_Democrat
(30,439 posts)9. The administration never said he was speaking out of his ass
That's simply not true.
