US Secretary of State John Kerry has accused<\/a> Syrian government forces of killing 1,429 people in a chemical weapons attack in Damascus last week. […]<\/p>\n

The U.S. says its assessment is backed by accounts from medical personnel, witnesses, journalists, videos, and thousands of social media reports.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Do these motherfuckers honestly<\/em> think we’re so fucking stupid that we’ll fail to notice that these are the exact same lies<\/a><\/em> the Bush Administration used to goad the public into supporting the bloodletting in Iraq? I mean, not just that they’re fundamentally the same — but that the actual verbiage<\/em> is identical.<\/p>\n

Uh, note to John Kerry: when I speculated<\/a>, a few days ago, that you might be copying-and-pasting Colin Powell’s UN Speech into your own miserably pathetic bullshit telepromptings, that was intended as SATIRE, you fuckwit.<\/p>\n

I guess there’s really nothing left, now; save for the 2016 Electorate to just take the plunge, write in Heller\/Vonnegut, and be done with it.<\/p>\n

Update, 9\/1\/13: <\/strong><\/p>\n

And now the fucking assholes have taken yet another<\/em> page from the Bush Administration pre-Iraq handbook, working the phones, in advance of an authorisation vote, to drum up support for another bullshit motherfucking war. Yeah, but it’s different<\/em> this time, see, because fucking Obama “doesn’t want” to go to war.<\/p>\n

Then…<\/p>\n

\n

Bush has been working<\/a> the phones to foreign leaders. Chinese President Jiang Zemin urged Bush to resolve the Iraqi crisis peacefully and to let inspections continue, China’s official Xinhua news agency said.<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Colin Powell met the foreign minister of Guinea, Francois Ousseynou Fall, and called top officials in Angola, Mexico and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And now…<\/p>\n

\n

President Barack Obama and his top aides launched<\/a> a political charm offensive Sunday to persuade legislators to approve a military strike against Syria, a day after making the surprise announcement that while he intends to act, he would first seek a Congressional vote on a potential use of force.<\/p>\n

Obama made calls to members of the House of Representatives and Senate, with more scheduled for Monday, while dozens of legislators met in the Capitol building for a Sunday afternoon intelligence briefing on Syria with Obama’s national security team.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
