Debka: Putin calls John Kerry a Liar!
2013-09-05
Further escalating Russia's anti-US rhetoric, President Vladimir Putin called US Secretary of State John Kerry a liar, claiming he had denied al Qaeda was fighting with the Syrian opposition, even though he was aware of the al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra group.

"He is lying and he knows that he is lying. This is sad," Putin said Wednesday, as world leaders gathered in St. Petersburg for the G20 summit.

Putin also repeated that any use of military force against Syria without UN Security Council approval would be an act of aggression.

In his testimony to a Senate panel Tuesday, Kerry denied al Qaeda and "the bad guys" were a majority of the opposition, only 15-25 percent, including al-Nusra and many other groups that are "fighting each other, even now."

#13  Note to Putin's script writers - use the word 'Wormtongue'

And leaves room to escalate to Mouth of Sauron.

Saying the Quest is over - Booosh! has the Ring was a favorite image during the buildup to OIF.

#10  "Putin calls John Kerry a Liar"

No, no, Vlad.

I know you speak pretty good English, but you could probably benefit from learning some American idioms (since you have to deal with these American IDIOTS).

Lying crapweasel is the phrase you're looking for.

You're welcome.

#8  It's pretty sad when a Russian dictator has more credibility than the US president and his secretary of state.

#6  Putin also repeated that any use of military force against Syria without UN Security Council approval would be an act of aggression.

Lets be honest, a use of military force is an act of aggression with or without the UN blessing. It may or may not be justified but its certainly an aggressive act.

#5  Good for Putin, Kerry is a liar, just like his maker and idol Obama, the quicker we the people get the liars out, (Preferably not just fired, but also banned from any kind of Politics.) the better.

They're hurting America, we see it but do nothing.

There ARE ways to remove bad Politicians, (No, not shoot them, Belittle them, force them, they'll go, we can't allow them to further destroy us) DO SO NOW.

#4  Note to Putin's script writers - use the word 'Wormtongue'. Many in the West will get the meaning along with its implied associations.

#3  I have been saddled with JF'nK as senator for years and years.

Puting is being kind. Kerry is a sniveling, LYING, coward. Drawing & quartering is too good for his kind.

#2  I think Putin should have said "creepy_ass_cracker".
That fits Kerry much better.

#1  Wasn't it Kerry who used the Iraqi foto of shrouded dead people and a boy jumping over them, as evidence of atrocities in Syria?
