Kerry Makes Case For Syria Military Action
▶ John Kerry Syria FULL Speech 8/30/2013. Kerry Makes Case For Syria Military Action – YouTube.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement on Friday that unclassified U.S. intelligence shows clearly that the Assad regime is responsible for the chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus.
Kerry laid out some of the evidence U.S. intelligence has put together and shared with members of Congress and international allies. Yet Kerry urged American citizens to review the unclassified information themselves. “Read for yourselves,” Kerry said.
Kerry added that the U.S. estimates at least 1429 Syrians were killed in the attack, at least 426 children.
The announcement came in the wake of a British Parliamentary vote against military intervention.
Britain’s parliament voted 285-272 against a proposal by Prime Minister David Cameron to undertake action against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. “It is very clear tonight that while the House has not passed a motion, it is clear to me that the British parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action – I get that and the government will act accordingly,” Cameron said, according to Reuters.
U.S. officials had suggested after the vote that the Obama administration is considering striking without British backing. The AP notes that Obama’s National Security Council spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, said the administration would continue consulting international partners but would make decisions based on “the best interests of the United States.”

It looks like we’re going in folks. May God protect our brave young soldiers and the innocent folks of Israel.

I understood that Obama will also give some speech tonight, some kind of ”my fellow citizens,…”. It appears that the strike will start tonight. Joseph was right.

Do you have a link saying Obama’s gonna make a speech tonight?

The press conference with Obama is a fact ( Israeli TV ). Accordingly with the analysts team on the screen, the missiles will fly in a certain time, not very long. May God bless Israel, USA and all the good people on the planet.

“Kerry just finished the above speech on why we should attack Syria. It needed to make two points 1) that the regime did it and 2) why we should respond, if so. It was the speech that never ends, as it was long on emotion and light on real answers to the two points. Lots of talk of the dead, far less talk of evidence or rationale. It of course starts off badly, with a lie in the very first sentence, about Obama consulting with Congress.”
Note: Congress has been out of session since Aug 5 and will not resume until after Sept 6.
I believe something needs to be done about the use of CW’s. I also believe that a convincing case be made for sending our soldiers to war.

Should Hezbollah launch an attack on Israel, Netanyahu needs to finish it with them. A complete iradication of Hezbollah by invading Lebanon and rooting out the bastards and destroying them. No more tit for tat bull shit. Finish it once and for all.

What happened to all defcon 2 stuff which by the way is nothing to be trifled with. Why do I think that little gem came from our old friend Justice for Israel….

The Tomahawks will probably be flying soon despite the fact that the Obama Administration lacks a strategy past its one move. I pray that all of Israel stays safe, especially my friends on this blog. I have full confidence in the IDF to protect the citizens of Israel. God Bless You All.
Shabbat Shalom.

Obama may have a back door out of committing to military action:

We “can’t afford” military action, so Congress can just say they’re not authorizing additional funds and Obama can just throw up his hands and say ‘I tried!’
Weaselly way to do it, but it would avoid death and destruction and save Obama’s ‘face.’

Terrorists in Japan were able to use sarin in the Tokyo underground.
The rebels in Syria are using sarin.
The facts as I have always said, false flag.

I guess we can all assume now that the CW’s have fallen in the wrong hands. Question is, whose hands?? Remember when everyone was threatening to act to prevent such a thing from happening. Remember how the IDF covertly attacked inside Syria to prevent such a thing. Just say’n that’s all.

Its not difficult to make sarin, I wont go into details but its very easy with time and materials
