AWESOME! Rep Grayson Blasts Syria Rhetoric: We Are Not the World’s Policemen, Nor Judge, Jury and Executioner

“Well first it’s not our responsibility. Secondly whatever we do won’t actually accomplish anything useful. Third it’s expensive and forth it’s dangerous.”

OMG hell must be freezing over because I’m finding myself in total agreement with Alan Grayson AND he even got under MSNBC’s Alex Witt’s skin! Normally Ogre is running his mouth blaming republicants for the damage done to the nation the demoncrats are also responsible for. You can see the agitation by Witt trying to get Grayson to agree on anything in favor of an attack, it was very entertaining to watch.

The congressman slammed dunked Alex Witt explaining his position is that of the majority of Americans and will continue to grow. Witt probably assumed he would be in agreement with the regime and it’s propaganda network instead he spoke the way an elected official is supposed to speak putting America first saying “we have our own problems to deal with and we’re not the world’s policeman, nor the world’s judge jury and executioner!”

Grayson held his ground during the entire segment that regardless of what’s reported there is no cause for the US to get involved even knowing that chemical weapons were used.

We don’t know who used the weapons and even if we did there is no threat to America. So sorry Mr Soetoro under the War Powers Act you have nothing to stand on. I can’t believe I’m saying this but let’s give libs like Grayson the support he needs to stop obama from launching a retaliatory attack in Syria. You can sign Grayson’s petition @DontAttackSyria.com

KERRY: I NEVER SAID SYRIA RESPONSE HAD TO BE SWIFT

Posted on 2 September, 2013 by clyde

According to Breitbart John Kerry, speaking on Face the Nation, defended Barack Obama’s delay in implementing action against Bashar Assad while he goes to Congress for authorization.

Host Major Garrett asked, “I know you believe the president’s decision to seek congressional authorization is courageous, but isn’t it bowing to a political reality that had been communicated to the president late this week that there would be significant congressional backlash if he didn’t give Congress a role, and that backlash, in part, reflected the inability of the Administration to make its case this past week?”

Kerry responded that President Obama had not shown any weakness by deferring to Congress on military action in Syria:

I disagree with that premise in all accounts. The fact is that the president clearly had sufficient case presented to the American people that Assad had engaged in outrageous crimes against humanity, and that it was vital to take steps. I think the president realized in consultations with the Congress that people wanted to weigh in. and he believed after thinking about it that the United States of America is much stronger when we act in concert. Rather than have the debate after an attack be all about our constitutional process or “did the president abuse his power” or was it correct and have weeks of sort of being torn apart about that, the president felt it was much more important for us to act with unity of purpose and in a concerted way.

I think that this is not just a great decision, I think it’s the right decision. Since when is it wrong for the President of the United States to ask Congress, the elected body that represents the people of America, to weigh in?

When asked about the fact that the action has been delayed for a couple of weeks and if he was “disappointed that your advocacy for a swift response was overridden,” Kerry objected to the idea that he had called for a hasty response:

I did not advocate in any way that the response had to be swift. In fact, I often said we need to take time to do certain things. I’m not going to go into the deliberative process and tell you what I said or someone said to the president of the United States.

He also felt that it was a very important message, if you will, to Iran, to North Korea, and to others not only about our democratic process, but most importantly, that we are prepared to uphold the norms of international behavior as a country; we united behind that, and that that gives greater impact to whatever choices we might faced in other places in the future.

Kerry also revealed that there is conclusive evidence that Assad had used chemical weapons, saying, “Today I’m at liberty to tell you that we now have samples back from first responders in East Damascus; those samples of hair and blood have been tested and they have reported positive for signatures of sarin.”
