"We're going after the
Syrians — whether the Russians like it or not".
These are the words of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack
Obama. Obama had been in office just two
weeks before the February 1 nomination deadline for the Nobel prize. He had no
concrete achievements in peacemaking in his short, partial term as a United
States Senator from Illinois and had never accomplished anything. Nada.
Obama, who is now in his
second term as President of the United States has killed more civilians in unmanned aerial air strikes
than his predecessor, George W. Bush. The
Nobel Peace Prize winner has also escalated the war in Afghanistan and prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous
presidents combined.
In an interview with PBS NewsHour on
Wednesday, President Obama said the U.S. had
"concluded" that the regime of Bashar Assad used chemical weapons
during an attack last week near Damascus that reportedly
left hundreds dead and potentially thousands more injured.
"We have looked at all the evidence, and we do not believe the
opposition possessed nuclear weapons on – or chemical weapons of that
sort," Obama said. "We do not believe that, given the delivery
systems, using rockets, that the opposition could have carried out these
attacks. We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these
out. And if that's so, then there need to be international consequences."
Congressman Alan Grayson, on an interview on “The Lead” on CNN
U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson criticized the case for war being made by his fellow Democrats in the Obama Administration by saying it’s not telling the truth that
“To say that it’s 'undeniable' is flatly false,” Grayson
said Thursday on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper. “The administration is only
giving one side of the story."
Of Secretary of State
Kerry’s comments, Grayson had this to say,
It is time to end the Masters of War reign in the United
States .
It is time to take care of the American people and provide for the
security well-being of our country and our people. Time for our nation to heal and to rebuild
our once great nation. In the words of
Bob Dylan:
