John Kerry Steals Wolfowitz’s Iraq Lines for Syria War

google-search-header2

“Secretary of State John Kerry at the House Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing on Syria war authorization today:  ‘With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs…the answer is profoundly yes. They have. That offer is on the table.’  Wolfowitz’s ‘free’ war ended up costing the US taxpayer more than one trillion dollars. How much will Obama and Kerry and Rice and Power’s ‘free’ war cost us?”

No Syrian War to Save Obama’s Face!

“Because Barack Obama, two years ago, said ‘Assad must go,’ and, one year ago, said any use of chemical weapons crosses his ‘red line,’ Congress has no choice but to plunge America into yet another Mideast war.  Can this be? Are we really, as a nation, required to go to war to make good the simple-minded statements of an untutored president who had no constitutional authority to issue his impulsive ultimata?  Are we really required to go to war to get the egg off Obama’s face?  Not since the War of Jenkins’ Ear has there been a dumber cause for a great country to go to war. Is there no way out?”

Reporter Asks Obama if Nobel Peace Prize ‘Dilemma’ on Syria Attack

Reporter Asks Obama if Nobel Peace Prize ‘Dilemma’ on Syria Attack

“President Barack Obama flew to Sweden on Wednesday for a diplomatic meeting ahead of a two-day G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Obama held a wide-ranging press conference in Sweden relating to the White House’s effort to build support for a strike on Syria in the wake of that government’s use of chemical weapons on civilians. One Swedish reporter cornered Obama on the contradictions contained in the fact that a Nobel Peace Prize winner is planning to launch his second war against a sovereign nation.”

US Senate panel approves use of force against Syria

“President Barack Obama’s plan to conduct punishing military strikes on Syria passed its first congressional hurdle Wednesday, paving the way for a full Senate debate on the use of force.  The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved an amended resolution 10-7, with one senator, the chamber’s newest member Edward Markey, voting present, that authorizes US military intervention with a 90-day deadline and bars American boots on the ground for combat purposes.  ‘What we’ve done today is a step in the right direction. I hope it makes a safer world,’ said Senator Dick Durbin.  The chamber’s number two Democrat voted against the war in Iraq, but he insisted that ‘this is different.'”

Journalist Barrett Brown fights media gag order in Stratfor hacking trial

“Federal prosecutors will attempt to place a gag order on the jailed activist-journalist Barrett Brown and his legal team on Wednesday that would prevent them from talking to the media about his prosecution. Brown faces up to 100 years in prison for alleged offences relating to his work exposing online surveillance.  It is widely seen as the latest in a succession of prosecutorial moves under the Obama administration to crack down on investigative journalism, official leaking, hacking and online activism.  It was during his work on the Stratfor hack that Brown committed his most serious offence, according to US prosecutors – he posted a link in a chat room to Stratfor documents.”

David Stockman: The End of U.S. Imperium—Finally!

“Next week Congress can do far more than stop a feckless Tomahawk barrage on a small country that is already a graveyard of civil war and sectarian slaughter. By voting ‘no,’ it can trigger the end of the American Imperium—five decades of incessant meddling, bullying, and subversion around the globe that has added precious little to national security but left America fiscally exhausted and morally diminished.  Indeed, the tragedy of this vast string of misbegotten interventions is that virtually none of them involved defending the homeland or any tangible, steely-eyed linkages to national security. They were all rooted in ideology.”

Draft Senate resolution allows Obama 90 days for Syria military campaign

“A new draft resolution was agreed by leaders of the Senate foreign relations committee after secretary of state John Kerry pressed a forceful case for striking against the Assad regime. Earlier, Barack Obama secured the backing of the Republican leadership at a key White House meeting.  But even the Republican leadership has struggled to control Tea Party radicals in the House, and an anti-interventionist wing in the Senate led by Rand Paul remains a substantial challenge for the White House.  Kerry was forced to backtrack after appearing to acknowledge that US ground troops could become involved under certain scenarios.”

In Rush to Strike Syria, US Tried to Derail UN Probe

“After initially insisting that Syria give United Nations investigators unimpeded access to the site of an alleged nerve gas attack, the administration of President Barack Obama reversed its position on Sunday and tried unsuccessfully to get the U.N. to call off its investigation.  The administration’s effort to discredit the investigation recalls the George W. Bush administration’s rejection of the position of U.N. inspectors in 2002 and 2003 after they found no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the administration’s refusal to give inspectors more time to fully rule out the existence of an active Iraqi WMD programme.”

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.”

Signs of a Shift Among Egyptian Protesters to Antigovernment, From Pro-Morsi

“As tens of thousands gathered in the streets of Cairo for the ninth Friday of protests against the takeover, few carried the posters of Mr. Morsi’s face that were once the banner of the Brotherhood’s ‘anti-coup’ coalition. Instead, almost everyone held a sign with a logo memorializing the mass killing by security forces of hundreds of Morsi supporters on Aug. 14.  In at least one march by thousands of demonstrators in the neighborhood of Mohandiseen, many carried signs opposing both the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement behind Mr. Morsi, and the new government installed by General Sisi.”
