John Kerry, "thinking out loud" about the use of ground troops in Syria

Kerry opens door to 'boots on ground' in Syria, then slams it shut

Kerry initially told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he would prefer not to bar the use of ground troops in Syria to preserve President Barack Obama's options if Syria "imploded" or there was a threat of chemical weapons being obtained by extremists.

"I don't want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to a president of the United States to secure our country," Kerry told the committee.

But when Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the committee, told Kerry he "didn't find that a very appropriate response regarding boots on the ground," Kerry quickly, and repeatedly, backtracked.

Kerry said he was simply "thinking out loud" and raising a hypothetical situation, but he did not want to leave the door open to sending ground troops to Syria.

Because I swear that's what this is. Only it's not funny, it's horrific.

5. Wouldn't it be GRAND if all of us Had..Fortunes from Marriage or Earned

TO JUST DREAM!

I'd love his Boat and Kiak...I'd love his Lifestyle out there where the Kennedy's Roamed on Cape Cod where I could have my "Get Away" when life got overwhelming and I just needed time to reflect and think like folks do when they are the 1% and have no money worries.

I realize that Kerry didn't have any money of his own...it came from Heinz Pickle Fortune through his wife Theresa when her own Dem Hubbied dies in Tragic Aircraft Accident.

BUT...the ENTITLED ARE THE ENTITLED....and Kerry get's wonderful breaks from the "rigors of having to do his SOS job" by boating and kiyacking and going back to his beautiful home out there on the CAPE before he has to go back to TRASHING the DEMS who are "DEMS," and not this QUASI ..REPUG BLEND/DLC DEM/HYBRID CROSSOVER...!
