I'M TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT

Pundits, politicians and even members of the current Administration always bring the their worry about American credibility if the US doesn't carry out some military strike. Today, our Secretary of State on Face the Nation continued this disgraceful tradition:
Face the Nation transcripts September 1, 2013: Kerry, McCain, Kaine, and Chambliss
KERRY: Well, of course it is critical that we go through the process of explaining to congress. But each day that goes by, Major, this case is getting stronger. I mean, today I'm at liberty to tell that you we now have samples back from first responders in east Damascus. Those samples of hair and blood have been tested, and they have reported positive for signatures of sarin. So we are now getting a stronger case each day, and I think that makes even more compelling that the congress of the United States be counted with the president in this effort so that Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, all of our friend and allies in the region, will know that the United States is acting in concert in a way that really sends a powerful message about our credibility, about our intentions to uphold international norms, and that will have an impact on other decisions down the road. And I'm very explicit about it with respect to Iran and North Korea or others. The credibility of the United States is on the line here. And I believe the congress will do the right thing.
