Oh, some inside information most of you would of missed in the debate.
Hillary Clinton WAS NOT Secretary of State when the Red Line Doctrine for chemical weapons use in Syria collapsed as a ruse. She was in office when the idea first developed.
John Kerry, either earlier this week or last week, told Syrian Groups he was very much for bombing Assad after Chemical Weapons was used, but was overruled by 3-4 people closer to the president.
This signifies a few things about Obama’s cabinet:
-
He doesn’t trust the people he puts into the office of secretary of state. He obviously didn’t trust Hillary (wasn’t allowed to be VP) but let her fly around talking, without much oversight. In Kerry’s case, he was isolated and overruled.
-
3 to 4 people are more than The Secretary of Defence, and CIA. It doesn’t change shit for the Homeland Defence or Coast Guard, so it really isn’t their place, their job remains the same. Doesn’t effect the secretary of interior, secretary of education.
Who are these other 1 to 2 people? Biden? Perhaps. What that doesn’t explain that fourth person Kerry was possibly eluding to.
Only three people matter (other than the vice president of course), Secretary of State and Secretary of Defence, and head of CIA.
We really already should have CIA operatives on the ground in Syria, a nice day network, so don’t see why the CIA would bulk outside of saying the reality of attacking, but that’s something the Defence Secretary would back up asset wise. If anyone was butting heads, it should of been Kerry and the military, and his office should of been the diplomatic ones, military the “yes we can, this is our contingency plan Mr. President”.
Kerry should not be the war hawk.
Yet, it looks like Kerry was the war hawk. This is absurd, and I’m left wondering who Obama is actually close to in his cabinet. It isn’t the people he should be listening to. I think the Trump campaign is wondering about this too, but they think it is Hillary, but have zero proof. I sure don’t have it.
He eluded to it, but didn’t press it.
I suspect Kerry is setting himself up for a 2020 run. I can’t show Hillary is still advising Obama, but it doesn’t look like it us Kerry or the Secretary of Defence either. It is bizarre and surreal.
