A remarkable week of events re: Syria

YellowelephantThe right-wing propaganda noise machine of the conservative media entertainment complex is having a massive messaging problem over Syria.

These chicken hawk war mongers, who have been critical of President Obama for the past two years for not getting their Neocon war on in Syria, suddenly became isolationist pacifists when President Obama threatened the use of military force against Syria for its use of chemical weapons against civilians in violation of international treaties. "Whatever Obama does, we do exactly the opposite."

On Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry made a "rhetorical argument" at a press conference: "Sure, [Assad] could turn over every bit of his weapons to the international
community within the next week, without delay," Kerry said. "But he
isn’t about to." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov immediately jumped at Kerry's "offer," and Russia's client state Syria said it "welcomed" the offer by Russia to put its chemical weapons arsenal under international control so that they could eventually be
destroyed.

All media villagers, echoing the right-wing propaganda noise machine, adopted the meme that Secretary Kerry had 'bumbled" his way into a possible resolution. Even Jon Stewart of The Daily Show got caught up in this meme, comparing Secretary Kerry to Mr. Magoo.
