Kerry: Arab countries to fund the war

[Ibanez]

Secretary of State John Kerry said at Wednesday’s hearing that Arab counties have offered to pay for the entirety of unseating President Bashar al-Assad if the United States took the lead militarily.

“With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assess, the answer is profoundly yes,” Kerry said. “They have. That offer is on the table.”

Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) about how much those countries would contribute, Kerry said they have offered to pay for all of a full invasion.

“In fact, some of them have said that if the United States is prepared to go do the whole thing the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost,” Kerry said. “That’s how dedicated they are at this. That’s not in the cards, and nobody’s talking about it, but they’re talking in serious ways about getting this done.

So they say they will pay the cost of the war....and causalities? Our soldiers die and......

Wow! Have we been reduced to the mercenaries of OPEC, doing their bidding because we owe them so much money, because we won't use our own energy resources and insist on funding them through our energy purchases?

How's the XL pipeline environmental impact study going O? Or are you too busy trying to placate our Arab masters?

How much does an Arab value the life of an infidel?

Whoops! Maybe I should ask Obama...how much does he value the life of an American soldier or civilian to die for a Muslin cause?

Why are we still in Affy? Why are we thinking about pissing off a bunch of Shiites for some wealthy Sunnis so that they both will fund extremists to eventually strike and kill more Americans?

How could they possibly value those lives any less than we do...?
With but a few exceptions:
We've been sending American men into the meat grinder
for damn near no reason
for 2 centuries

Not to worry

NBC's Mitchell: Trust Obama, He's Going to Bomb Syria 'From A Very Cautious Anti-War Perspective'
mediaresearchcenter.org ^ | 8/30/13 | Kyle Drennan

On her MSNBC program, host Andrea Mitchell tried to ease the concerns of Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee and other members of Congress calling for a congressional vote on military action in Syria: "Barack Obama, as you know better than I do, was one of the leading Democratic politicians against the Iraq War. So if he says that this is different, that the evidence is there....does that persuade you since he has always come at this from a very cautious anti-war perspective?" [Listen to the audio]

Accepting the odd juxtaposition of the President launching missile strikes from an "anti-war perspective," Lee responded: "And I'm very pleased that the President has come at this in a very cautious manner....But also that has nothing to do with our constitutional responsibility as members of Congress, Andrea."

Why can't we just develop our own oil supplies and screw these goddamn sand loving people! But I'm not upset at all.
