n laying out the case for military strikes on Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday had praise for the French, who he called “our oldest ally,” but snubbed any mention of the British, who have long believed they enjoyed a “special relationship” with the U.S.
Mr. Kerry cited Australia, Turkey and the Arab League — as well as the French.

France is our 'oldest ally'.
Yo Kerry ?
Is this your 'special' kind of 'foreign diplomacy' of how to snub friends, and run to whoever won't turn you down ?
I respect the British Parliament more than my own congress. I respect their leaders more than I do my own. Seems the current regime from mordor has one hell of a bug up it's collective behinds.
Seems they are just out for blood without an inkling of what 'justice' truly means.

Turkey ?
From my understanding the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be running Turkey at the moment. Unless my information is incorrect.
Also seem to remember Egypt use to be ran by the Muslim Brotherhood. Who are actively fighting in the Syrian campaign on the Anti-Assad side.
Seem to remember those 'arab allies' are the very people who have been fighting the Assad regime for near 2 years or more.
Yo Kerry with firiends like that who needs enemies ?
Oh wait. Muslim Brotherhood, AQ are those people who once upon a time the US called enemies, and now you are actively aiding them. Selling lies to push them towards a victory over their enemies. Iranian backed Hezbollah.

I was a bit mortified to hear Kerry's "oldest ally" comment.
It smacks of absolute desperation in the White House & State Department, tbh.
France has been treated like a leper for ten years and now all of a sudden we're flavor of the week. It doesn't make me feel good.
In fact, what I feel is utter horror. Because how on earth do the Brits feel now ? There's a nation which has been alongside the USA all the way since Sept 11th 2001, they went into Iraq in 2003 despite many of them having grave doubts about that war, more importantly they lost nearly 200 men directly and God knows how many of their ex servicemen have died uncounted since.
And suddenly they're disposed of. And we're taken up in their place. That's an absolutely amateur way to run your nation's diplomacy. Desperation in the White House & State Department.
I saw Obama earlier tonight too. He looked like a rabbit caught in the car headlamps. He's absolutely clueless, totally unfit to be commander of US forces. I appreciate that he's head of state and should be accorded a modicum of dignity from foreigners & a degree of loyalty from US citizens, but goodness me, Obama sets a new standard by which idiocy in foreign affairs can be measured.
I'm sorry but that needed said.

Dont you know? This is the MO of this entire administration, when you dont get your way, stomp your feet, scream and then punish the ones that didnt bend to your every whim, and then run off to play with another "friend"
Obama is a master of this tactic
The GUT
And totally insults Russia. Lets don't forget that. Almost like Kerry/the Admisitration wants to bring on Chaos and piss the international community off.
Nah...that's silly right? Right?
Syria, NSA, and Blackmail? Do the Math.
Unfortunate that the new ATS layout should be rolled-out today. Makes it harder to discuss these new and very important developments as regards Syria.
