Angry When Asked

When a member of the Foreign Relation Committee asked how long it will take for the UN to examine the usage of chemical gas Kerry responded it would take about 3 weeks for the UN to provide proof so there would be universal knowledge of the answer. Then the Member of the Committee asked would they be able to tell whether it would identify if it was the Syria Gov't or the rebels and the answer was no. It would not be possible to determine who used the gas. Net: is we will not know if this was an act by the rebels to draw the US in or an act of the Syrian Gov't. Yet, with all of this lack of knowledge there are movements to put our young people in harms way and some officials want to do it to "protect against the government being imbarassed because of their word to attack based on the red line statement." Again: No proof who used the gas, want to do it to show we will stand by an early nonsense statement, not an attack on the US, etc. Why would we ever go to war based on these conditions. I left out that it is a conflict to protect the rebels who may be more against the US and set up worse potential for attacks on the US and may be the ones who started this. What a great strategy to make it look like the Syrian Gov't used gas as that is the best and fastest way to get the US to get involved and protect them . What an ungodly mess. At the Foreign Relations Committee meeting Kerry said "he could not take boots off the ground forever..!!
