As long as he doesn't stoop to using unrestrained hyperbole.

"This is our Munich moment. This is our chance to join together and pursue accountability over appeasement."

That is the latest sales pitch our Secretary of State is employing to convince European nations they should join in our effort to "shift the balance of power on the battlefield" in the Syrian Civil War. He was speaking in Paris, Capital of our only fairly likely ally in any attack on the Assad regime. I refuse to include Turkey in a count of coalition partners, it's unlikely they'll do more than settle some scores with a few Syrian Kurds.

Mr. Kerry also repeated his earlier contention that Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian President, has joined Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler as, "The only leaders to have used chemical weapons since the Geneva Protocol against such methods was signed in 1925." He overlooked our extensive use of Agent Orange, White Phosphorus and Napalm, of course that would hardly have advanced his argument. Nor would the fact that we were the source of many of the chemical weapons Saddam used.

Sec. Kerry seems to have run the course for hyperbolic imagery and over-the-top allusions. Unless he goes Biblical on us, there really is not much left for him to draw on, not after trotting out both Munich and Herr Hitler.

1. It's amazing to me how quickly his efforts have fallen flat

Virtually nobody believes a thing out of the White House's mouth(piece).

2. The President and his SoS need to start backing away from this.

The sooner they give up on their war, the less damage will have been done to the Obama administration and to the President's agenda for his last two years in office.
