Notice you don't see Syria in there anywhere.

Now that IS the truth......

This whole "deal" has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Here we have a brutal dictator who has done billions in weapons business with Russia, amassing one of the world's largest arsenals of chemical weapons, which he now uses to slaughter the nation's civilians into fearful submission. He has lied and deceived the international community at every turn, and his Russian friends have done all they can to obstruct any effort to stop this guy from torturing and butchering tens of thousands of Syrians.

And now we're supposed to believe that they've suddenly had a change of heart and will renounce his weapons and work with the international community to locate and get rid of their weapons? In the middle of a civil war?

What planet do some people live on to think this is feasible?

Lets get it out of the way, and say Politicians period and Governments. I would like to beleive what i am being told by politicians, but use to the fact, they lie their butts off to us.

As far as Kerry, not sure on the fence, Obama, don't get me started, or where do i begin? Putin, i don't trust him at all, make a deal with the devil, biggest mistake of your life. I don't trust his motives with sincerity.

Good List, sad but so true, and most likely much much more.

Until it's time to be re-elected!!! Then all of a sudden they know, with complete clarity, what the people want!

Isn't that something?

(yes, as someone pointed out, even then they are still lying)
That was my point. When it's time to be re-elected they know what's right, yet do a 180° after being re-elected. Not only are they baiting for votes, but they have no intention of keeping their promises. That is called having no conscience.

Just my opinion on what I see in these faces.

No deception. He's not fooling around and not lying about it.


Very deceptive. He's trying to fool everyone.
