Secretary of State John Kerry gave protracted testimony to the Senate today, dodging multiple questions about President Obama’s new war on ISIS, insisting any real details were “classified” and presenting the war itself as something the entire world was behind.
During the testimony, Kerry also claimed the war had already made great strides, claiming the new Iraqi government was a direct result of the US airstrikes and a “success story” for the conflict.
Questions about the open-ended timeline were basically ignored, with Kerry insisting that the “full destruction and defeat mode” of the war was likely to take years, but that it was something better addressed further down the road.
Kerry also lashed out at Sen. Rand Paul (R – KY) so calling the war unconstitutional, insisting that there was “no legal argument” conceivable that could be made insisting that President Obama didn’t have every right to launch unilateral wars against whomever he wanted to protect the nation. He insisted Sen. Paul “might not like it,” but that there was no argument to be made that Obama needed Congressional permission.
Kerry went on to complain about Paul’s filibusters of nominees and suggest that the administration didn’t feel confident the Senate would even get around to voting on the war because of that, even if they wanted such a vote.
But off course, nothing is illegal even the creation of ISIS, helping the lesser and bigger terrorism, supporting dictatorial and fascist regimes, to these people's are not illegal, everything they do and have done is legal because these people have no respect for the law of land or the international laws to began with.
If you don't give us what you have we will destroy you one way other, that's their law and that's their way in respecting the illegality in what they call legality of what they do.
Everything now is deemed “classified” transparency has now disappear from the administration talking point.
Mr. Kerry is in a dream world when he boasts about (success)
in a disaster he helped to create. The destruction of Iraq,
and bloody secular violence is direct result of Bush's bogus
2003 invasion, and crazed USG plan for hegemony in the region.
Remember how VP Al Gore claimed that "no overriding legal authority" prevented his administration's illegal fund raising? Kerry stretches that claim to cover his administration's war crimes.
