How is it even possible you go from this to Secretary of State, and almost the POTUS?
Kerry told “Fox News Sunday" that blood and hair samples taken from first-responders in Damascus have tested positive for sarin.
“This case is going to build,” said Kerry, who also defended President Obama's decision to seek congressional approval for a military strike.
“Our country is much stronger when we act together,” Kerry said. “I think this is a smart decision by the president, a courageous decision.”
The president was driven to make a decision, which he announced Saturday, after an Aug. 21 chemical attack outside Damascus that killed more than 1,400 people, including hundreds of children. The attack was just one of several allegedly carried out by Syrian President Bashar Assad after Obama said about 12 months ago that the regime using a chemical weapon would “cross a red line.”
Kerry, who on Friday made a passionate plea for an attack, strongly disagreed Sunday with the perception that Obama’s decision was contrary to the one he and his national security team had made Friday -- that the administration would seek congressional support but act before members return to Capitol Hill on Sept. 9.
“The case doesn’t change and hasn’t changed at all,” Kerry told Fox News. “No decision is made until the president of the United States makes the decision."
Kerry also said that investigators confirmed this weekend that traces of sarin gas was found on victims of the alleged chemical attack.
