Syria: Weighing the Obama Administration's Response

BY JOHN KERRY, US SECRETARY OF STATE

Opening Remarks Before the House Foreign Affairs Committee

“Now, some have tried to suggest that the debate that we’re having is about this President’s redline, that this is about President Obama’s redline. Let me make it as clear as I can to all of you: That is just not true. This is about the world’s redline, it’s about humanity’s redline, a line that anyone with a conscience should draw and a line that was drawn nearly a hundred years ago in 1925 when the Chemical Weapons Convention was agreed on.”
“This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter. This is not the time to give permission to a dictator who has already used these weapons the unfettered ability to continue to use them because we stepped back. Neither our country nor our conscience can afford the cost of silence or inaction.”

“Smart energy can make an important contribution to Smart Defence”

Madame President,
Minister Olekas,
Colonel Petkevičius,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a great honour to open this NATO Centre of Excellence on Energy Security. When we wrote our new Strategic Concept three years ago, we emphasised the importance of energy security. We underscored that Allied solidarity extends to energy. And we gave energy security its rightful place – as a “collective defence” issue.
