What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world. It defies any code of morality. Let me be clear: 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.
He doesn't know anything about what happened in Syria. He should have kept his mouth shut as we pointed out in yesterday's snapshot.
But since Big John wants to talk about chemical weapons being an obscenity and inexcusable, he will, of course, call out the chemical weapons the US used in Iraq and the fallout (birth defects) stemming from the use of those chemical weapons, right?

| "Findings suggest the enriched Uranium exposure is either a primary cause or related to the cause of the congenital anomaly and cancer increases," says a recent scientific report on the incidence of birth defects in Fallujah [Dr Samira Alani] |
That's from Al Jazeera and, surely, John Kerry's going to call out the chemical weapons the US used, right?
Here's a photo from The BRussells Tribunal:
10
years after the war, Innocent New Lives are Still Dying and Suffering
In Iraq. Human Rights NGO publish the Report of a Fact Finding Mission
on Congenital Birth Defects in Fallujah, Iraq in 2013
From Justice for the Babies of Fallujah:
Another
male born in FGH with multiple gross congenital anomalies in addition
to CHD , he is the 1st baby to 2 young healthy couples with no previous
history of any anomaly
And if the above photos bother you, register that they are among the mildest of photos. There are photos of other children whose suffering is much greater.
You can turn away from the above, like John Kerry will, but before you hop a high horse and pretend to care about a 'chemical attack' that hasyet to be verified, acknowledge that you run from the realities of what the US government in Iraq. The children in the contaminated areas aren't able to escape the reality of what the US did.
Will the State Dept, at today's press briefing, find reporters asking what John Kerry thinks about the chemical weapons used in Iraq?
Or will we all let the hypocrisy pass right by without comment?
Again, as tragic as the above photos are, there are far worse photos and the above are mild in comparison.
