The President is not putting America's credibility at stake, he is staking out the credibility of International Law and Globalization. This is a far cry from the Bush Era "war" president and unifier.**

Clear segue: Secretary of State Kerry begins w/ my running notation
["read", un-Rumsfeld "know", smoking "social media", ^ }pinnacle of our perdicament{, "risk"/"do nothing","matters"..."know what we know", "respect" ...  }general body/China-Russia-Arab signators/jury{ "ultimately".] close. [SOS]

Note: Quotation "marks" =Kerry comments, ^ marks= tangent to NOW,  }{ = marks/highlites my comment/{urgency of now} AM "telegraphing"
