Just shows you how myopic some people are.
They see the entire world and all global events as either D or R.
Once you leave these shores D and R don't matter.
No one outside the US gives a crap which party the person belongs to.
All they see is "United States" as a country.
Suddenly, though, events took another unexpected turn this week. First Russia and then Syria reacted positively to a remark from Secretary of State John Kerry indicating that the crisis could be defused if Damascus agreed to put its chemical weapons under international control.
Putin and Assad reacted to Kerry's suggestion. The behind the scenes diplomacy surrounding this will probably never be fully revealed.
Back to your regular programming. Continue with your ignorant screeching insults, boys.
Nice rewrite of history, since Treebeard did not present this as "a suggestion," it was a "major goof" and a rhetorical comment made off script. Kerry also immediately disqualified the comment by by throwing up his hands saying it will never happen, because Assad "isn't about to do it, and it can't be done... obviously."
The White House spent several hours downplaying Kerry's comment, calling it a "hypothetical," a "rhetorical" comment — and even told CNN that what Kerry said was a "major goof."
No, let's talk about committing acts of war, with "unbelievably small strikes," and then with an off hand comment from a reporter's question, discount turning over WMDs out of hand as something that will never happen, and then claim credit when Putin gets Syria to agree to handing over all their WMDs.

John Kerry had to lobby President Carter to get his dishonorable discharge for prostesting against the military while being on active duty converted so it would not impact his future political ambitions.
Prove it.
Oh, FYI:
A dishonorable discharge (DD) can only be handed down to an enlisted member by a general court-martial. Dishonorable discharges are handed down for what the military considers the most reprehensible conduct. This type of discharge may be rendered only by conviction at a general court-martial for serious offenses (e.g., desertion, sexual assault, murder, etc.) that call for dishonorable discharge as part of the sentence.

Please stay tuned as Kerry and Obama wrangle this sticky situation into a win for America. One you and the other haters will squeal about for quite some time, I'd wager.

We didn't win anything.
That "red line" was Obama's doing.
Russia just gave us a diplomatic way out of invading a country.
The real win is that the US wants the rebels to topple Assad.
This was a mere detour and lobbing 900 missiles on Syria would have given the terrorist rebels the edge they need to take control because currently they are losing to Assad.
