John Kerry

Who knows what stance he has taken? Goldberg was not there. He could be right, or it may be more complicated than that. What I know is that Kerry has been spending the last few months finding a political solution in Syria, to no avail. This is not the reaction of somebody who wants to go to war.

This said, I doubt them disagreeing would be an issue. Obama is not an absolute king. I would expect he is trying to have different advice. This is how a good president should behave. People will disagree. The president will decide. Nothing surprising at all.

But I would take what Goldberg says with a grain of salt. I am sure that Kerry feels terrible to see civilian population attacked like that, but he is not somebody who goes to war lightly.

Have you see he will name Feingold as a special envoy to Africa. This is great as Feingold has spent a lot of time on these issues when in the Senate.
