How Intelligence Was Twisted to Support an Attack on Syria

“Secretary of State John Kerry assured the public that the Obama administration’s summary of the intelligence on which it is basing the case for military action to punish the Assad regime for an alleged use of chemical weapons was put together with an acute awareness of the fiasco of the 2002 Iraq WMD intelligence estimate.   Nevertheless, the unclassified summary of the intelligence assessment made public August 30, 2013, utilizes misleading language evocative of the infamous Iraq estimate’s deceptive phrasing. The document displays multiple indications that the integrity of the assessment process was seriously compromised.”

John Kerry invokes apocalyptic ‘domino theory’ in call with House Democrats

“In a Labor Day conference call with 127 House Democrats, Secretary of State John Kerry invoked an apocalyptic scenario, summoning visions of American power and credibility incinerated in a terrible Middle East-wide conflagration laced with nerve gas and enriched uranium.  Kerry warned that the failure to punish Bashar Al-Assad for using chemical weapons on Syrian civilians could lead to future chemical attacks on Israel and Turkey, emboldening Iran to forge ahead with an alleged nuclear weapons program and perhaps even enter the battlefield in support of Syria. Next, Kerry hammered on the Holocaust, declaring that the US faced a ‘Munich moment’ on Syria.”

Selling Syria: White House pleads with Congress for ‘limited’ strikes

Selling Syria: White House pleads with Congress for ‘limited’ strikes

“On Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry plead his case on why the US should launch limited attacks on Syria in retaliation for Pres. Bashar al-Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons on his own people. According to Kerry, not stepping in would only embolden other countries with weapons of mass destruction, and senators expressed their concerns that getting involved in Syria would only lead to another endless war in the Middle East. Sam Sacks is on Capitol Hill with a summary of the day’s events.”

Rep. Cantor Steals Condi Rice’s Iraq Lines for Syria

google-search-header2

“Today House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) directly channeled then-President Bush’s National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice, spouting the same lying propaganda to get us into Syria that Rice spouted to get us into Iraq.  Leader Cantor today: ‘No one wants to be asking why we failed to act if the next time Sarin is used it is in the Paris or New York subway.’  Condoleeza Rice, Sept 8, 2002: ‘The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.'”

Kerry After Syria Hearing Protest: ‘I Once Had Very Similar Feelings’

“‘The first time I testified before this committee when I was 27 years old, I had feelings very similar to that protester,’ Kerry said after order was restored. ‘I would just say that is exactly why it is so important that we are all here having this debate, talking about these things before the country and that the Congress itself will act representing the American people. And I think we can all respect those who have a different point of view. And we do.’  Kerry said a Syria strike would ‘unequivocally’ make the U.S. more secure, and Hagel said there are U.S. allies in the region ready to support any U.S. action.”

John Kerry: Syria war no time for ‘armchair isolationism’

“U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday the debate about military strikes is not about President Barack Obama’s ‘red line,’ but the world’s. The UN refugee agency reported Tuesday the number of refugees fleeing Syria’s violence has surpassed the two million mark.  Kerry told Congress that it is ‘a red line that anyone with a conscience ought to draw.’ Some lawmakers have expressed reluctance about being drawn into a larger conflict. But Kerry stressed that what Obama is seeking would be military action limited in scope and duration that would send a message to the Assad regime that it can’t get away with using chemical weapons.”

‘Surgical Strikes’ an Orwellian Dream

“Imagine for a moment that you live in the nation’s capitol, by the Pentagon or minutes away in Quantico, the Marine Corps headquarters, or one exit down the parkway from the National Security Agency (NSA) in nearby Maryland. Imagine farther out, places where our Navy fleets are stationed – Norfolk, San Diego – or the main Air Force satellite control center in Colorado Springs. Any military installation across the country. Now imagine what it would be like to hear over radio waves and on your television set that one of those places might be bombed as punishment for something your president did.”

US Finally Admits What Ron Paul Said: “Nobody Knows Who Set Off The Gas”

logo3
“The intelligence linking Syrian President Bashar Assad or his inner circle to an alleged chemical weapons attack is no ‘slam dunk,’ with questions remaining about who actually controls some of Syria’s chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether Assad himself ordered the strike, U.S. intelligence officials say.  [..] an intercept of Syrian military officials discussing the strike was among low-level staff, the officials said. Another possibility that officials would hope to rule out: that stocks had fallen out of the government’s control and were deployed by rebels in a callous and calculated attempt to draw the West into the war.”

Egypt Ambassador: Objective of Crackdown ‘Wasn’t to Use Massive Force’

“The U.S. assistance to Egypt is part of a strategic partnership that serves both countries enormously. It’s a win/win situation. So, basically, we would like it to continue to be a win/win situation, particularly since we agree on the objective. We have the same objective. We want to see a democratic system in place in Egypt. We do not want to see Christians attacked, nuns being treated like they’re prisoners of wars, churches burned down, museums — museums — being attacked. We don’t want to see this. We want to have a flourishing country, a democracy, a country where every individual can feel free, can have human dignity. This is what we’re working towards.”
