US Secretary of State John Kerry’s statement preparing public opinion for a war with Syria recalls his predecessor Colin Powell’s infamous 2003 presentation falsely claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Yesterday US Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on national television to deliver a lying statement aimed at preparing public opinion for an impending US-NATO attack on Syria. It was his very own “Colin Powell moment.”

Kerry is a useless, empty sac. If anyone with half a brain still thinks there are any differences between Republicans and Democrats, then it is just a display of willful stupidity...

On the plus side, this is making pretty much everyone snap "Colin Powell.."

That is true, even NPR had on a Brit this morning who was practically using the "pack of lies" line...

But don't ya see, Kerry is really a peace maker, he's been trying to avoid this for 8 years! I learned that at a well known Dem site.

NPR is pushing the war line as hard as the Administration, the blatancy is remarkable, they throw a guy like that in occasionally for the illusion of 'balance', where there should be none. It is telling that NPR is the perferred choice of liberals. In truth it is propaganda for the educated and maybe more insidious than the cartoonish crap presented by FOX.

I can't listen to NPR, then I make myself listen, because I want to know what the US propaganda du jour is. Then I turn it off in anger, then I turn it back on, 'cause you need to know what they are saying. It just kills me...
