[Video] Rand Paul vs. John Kerry at Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Syria 9/3/13

[COpatriot]

Corker is angry that we haven't given weapons to the "vetted moderate opposition".

 

[RockEnds]

What happened to no boot on the ground?

Well, there won't be. The administration has no intention of putting boots on the ground at all. But just in case US troops died in combat in Syria, maybe they should get prior authorization.

That's a lie. Their AUMF lets him use the military as he see's fit so boots could be on the ground if he decides that

Yeah, I realized after I posted it that my sarcasm might be missed. I edited.

 

[COpatriot]

Well Boxer is on board too. Same partisan horseshit. Menendez seemed somewhat skeptical of the language in the AUMF but I think he's on board too.

OK i didn't pick up on it

 

[supermario21]

Thank you Mitch McConnell for getting Rand on the Foreign Relations Committee.

 

[jtstellar]

nothing more disgusting than a hag who has no concern her entire life of being summoned forth into an deteriorating military conflict calling forth others to do it

 

[RockEnds]

OK i didn't pick up on it

I would be astonished if the boots aren't already on the ground tbh.

Oh, I'll bet money there are already some there.

Kerry weaseled his words on the no boots on the ground, the last time, he ADDED at the end "No boots on the ground -- in respect to the civil war going on"

lol barbara boxer

 

[Barrex]

Peasants wear boots. Soldiers wear protective footware. INVADE INVADE INVADE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ClydeCoulter]

I really hate these smirky ass SOB's. Kerry, "Assad may be able to crawl out of his hole and say I survived...." Why don't you crawl back into your hole and stay there Kerry.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Kerry, "We gonna hold you down, Assad, and punch the fuck out of you, and if you respond the world's power will come down on you". Won't these people just lay down and die, please? How can such evil persist?

 

[ObiRandKenobi]

so is rand paul allowed to talk or only if you suck up to kerry

 

[fearthereaperx]

so is rand paul allowed to talk or only if you suck up to kerry

yea, no kidding

 

[COpatriot]

Does anyone else think the same way I do that a lot of these members of congress are gonna "come away convinced" after these hearings?

 

[Beorn]

Does anyone have a link to the declassified clapper dossier on the syria evidence?

I presume this is different from the "declassified" Kerry statement on the evidence which basically just said "trust us."

 

[ClydeCoulter]

so is rand paul allowed to talk or only if you suck up to kerry

Yeah, are only neocons allowed to agree with question them?
