Kerry on Syria: "They're not suppose to do that"

The cease-fire was just about to be brokered between the United States and Russia and go into effect at midnight local time in Syria when lo and behold, Russian warplanes struck without warning.

The strikes came at a time when 97 Syrian opposition and rebel groups agreed to abide with the cease-fire. They even formed a committee to follow-up on it, but evidently, Putin had other plans. 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based safely away in Britain, believe the warplanes to be Russian. The targets were civilian areas east of Damascus in the suburb known as Douma.

At least eight people were killed in the strikes including three women and four children.

Russia had no comment but they could not contain a sardonic sneer, knowing that he and his ilk have nothing to fear from Obama and his ilk.

Dozens or airstrikes were also reported in Aleppo and last Thursday, President Obama said that he hoped the cease-fire in Syria will lead to an end to the civil war and allow us all to join hands, maybe hug, and go after the Islamic State, a group of miscreants and misunderstanders of Islam who are giving the religion of peace a bad name.

Obama put the responsibility on Russia and its allies, especially the chinless Assad government, to do the right thing. "The world is watching," Obama warned, causing Vladimir Putin to laugh wholeheartedly. Obama then added, "And I know who your mother is."

Secretary of State John-Empty-Suit-Kerry said of the Russian airstrikes: "They're not suppose to do that. And I know, that if they knew, that the world is watching, they wouldn't do that."

Kerry tends to overuse that word, "that," almost as much as he overuses his stay as Secretary of State.
