Kerry dismisses possibility of False Flag Chemical Weapon Attack
Last edited Tue Aug 27, 2013, 10:13 PM - Edit history (1)
Anyone who could claim that an attack of this staggering scale could be contrived or fabricated needs to check their conscience and their own moral compass.

That is the entirety of Kerry's discussion about the possibility of a false flag attack.
It is an intellecutally dishonest way to dismiss a maneuver that is not unknown in the ruthless world of politics. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
I'll look after my own moral compass, Senator, thank you.

Any statesman or women dismiss such a possibility as a false flag op is incompetent or a being dishonest.
And to suggest there's a moral handicap of those who would ponder the question is pretty distressing.
Glad I won't have to vote for him again.
