Ok. Let Tubularsock get this straight, “THIS international norm cannot be violated without consequences,” stated John Kerry. Now is this really real or is this some type of Onion satire.
The United States has just about broken every international norm that there is in the past fifty years and still John Kerry can stand and with a straight face and perfectly groomed hair tell the world that there must be consequences for the use of large-scale chemical weapons attacks.
Well, Tubularsock couldn’t agree more. Finally John Kerry is going to hold the United States responsible for its large-scale use of Agent Orange in Vietnam. The U.S. saturated that land with that deadly chemical and caused hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese CIVILIAN deaths and birth defects and ruined the farm land.
Agent Orange even caused death and disease within the American military with continued health issues to this day.
Wow! John Kerry is something. Do you think we will detain and arrest the CEO and the Board of Directors of Monsanto? How many Air Force generals will be detained? Wow. This is going to be big!
And gosh, now that we are on a roll I’ll bet John Kerry will follow up on the use of depleted uranium, the chemical element of Atomic number 92, a dense radioactive metal used in weapons that the U.S. has used in Afghanistan and Iraq. And even though we all know that EVER surgical strike placed in those countries missed every civilian, John will investigate and hold those in the Bush and Obombmer administration to the letter of INTERNATIONAL NORMS.
Golly gee! And the use of NAPALM will be ended by John as well. That is a chemical product that has been widely used by the American military. Do we have enough prison space in the Prison-Industrial-Complex to house all of these guys?
Not-to-worry, not-to-worry. With all of that American exceptionalism we are up to the task in order to bring ourselves up to INTERNATIONAL NORMS!
Now you have to admit that John can only do so much. It will take some other great governmental official to bring America up to International Norms around torture, attacking nations that haven’t attacked us, and droning the world at leisure. Hmmm, I wonder what Henry Kissinger is doing in his spare time?
OYG …….. Tubularsock has wandered off track.
John Kerry the Secretary of State wasn’t talking about the American Government’s role in chemical weapons but Syria!
Now just how did Tubularsock get so far afield?
“The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable”. (John Kerry)
Of course. Droning a wedding party, poisoning a nation, or contaminating a population is not a “moral obscenity”. It is saving a people from themselves.
Fuck you John Kerry! You are a piece of work.

John Kerry, hypocrite that he is, had the audacity to state that the ‘conscience of the world is outraged’. Who the hell is he kidding? Not a damn one of them in the Obama Administration has got a conscience. They don’t give a snot’s booger about the Syrian people. This grandstanding needs to stop. It is sickening! How any political figure in this country can stand up and condemn another country’s government for what they have allegedly done is so beyond hypocritical as to be off the charts. Just when I think that I cannot be outraged over this government’s bullshit, I find that they still have the propensity to blow my mind and prove me wrong. The sheer gall of these lunatics is unnerving. This shit should not be running this country. They should be securely wrapped up tight in a wrap around jacket and locked inside a padded cell!!
Excellent post, Tubular, excellent and right on point!!!

Thanks Shelby for your comment. This country has been doing the hypocrite thing so long that they even believe it themselves. And when one starts to believe their own bullshit it IS time that “they should be securely wrapped up tight in a wrap around jacket and locked inside a padded cell!!”. Maybe the jacket could be a nice red, white, and blue!

Hey Tube, you really had me with you nodding along in agreement on the John Kerry piece, but alas, I got felled by the toxic venom of the last line.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Bill. Tubularsock’s “toxic venom” really is pretty mild in comparison to what this country will destroy if we start bombing the hell out of Syria. To see that pompous-ass stand in front of the gutless press and spew his shit just affected Tubularsock. In truth Tubularsock even held back his harsher emotions only because my computer started to smoke.
