As reported today by Reuters (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-us-korea-north-usabre93c01z-20130412,0,5931545.story), John (Bashar al-Assad is "my dear friend") Kerry is now seeking to resolve America's brewing crisis with North Korea:
"'We are prepared to reach out but we need (the) appropriate moment, appropriate circumstance,' Kerry said, adding that North Korea had to take steps towards giving up its nuclear programs.
'They have to take some actions. Now how many and how much I want to have a discussion with folks back in Washington (about)... but they have to take action,' Kerry told a small group of reporters."
Sorry, but even with the words in parentheses used by Reuters to clarify Kerry's remarks, I still don't have a clue what he is trying to say.
Well, a globetrotting blockheaded Kerry is now back with more antics, this time after a meeting with Turkey's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, in Istanbul. As reported by the Associated Press (http://news.yahoo.com/kerry-pushes-turkey-israel-rapprochement-061951724--politics.html):
"On a trip to Israel last month, Obama secured a pledge from Turkish and Israeli leaders to normalize ties that broke down after a 2010 Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla that killed eight Turks and a Turkish-American.
. . . .
Kerry said he understood the anger and frustration of those Turks who lost friends and family in the raid. The former Massachusetts senator said last week's Boston Marathon bombings made him acutely aware of the emotions involved.
'It affects the community, it affects the country. But going forward, you know, we have to find the best way to bring people together and undo these tensions and undo these stereotypes and try to make peace,' he said."
Hmm, Kerry would draw similarities between the attempt by the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara to break the Israeli sea blockade of Gaza and the Boston Marathon bombings. What was the background to the Israeli "raid" on the Mavi Marmara? The Gaza flotilla, consisting of the Mavi Marmara and five other ships carrying some 700 Leftist and Islamic "peace activists," sought to break Israel's sea blockade of Gaza in order to allow the free transportation of persons and material to Hamas, an organization whose charter calls for the murder of all Jews and rejects negotiations of any kind with Israel.
Before embarking, these "peace activists" were heard singing songs glorifying the murder of Jews. Some of these "peace activists" expressed their desire to be martyred as part of the effort to break Israel's sea blockade.
The "peace activists" were told they could unload the goods they wished to donate to Gaza at Ashdod and could oversee the transport of the said goods, after inspection for contraband, into Gaza. The "peace activists" refused the offer.
The Gaza flotilla was boarded by Israeli soldiers armed with paint ball rifles and pistols. The "peace activists" attempted to strip the soldiers of their weapons and kill them.
Sorry, John, but I fail to see any similarity at all between the "raid" on the Mavi Marmara and the murder and maiming of innocents in Boston.
Is Kerry on drugs, or is he just plain stupid?
He used to be handsome. This helped ...

my guess is: allergic reaction to Botox?
ReplyDeleteIronic that Hagel seems the smart one these days, at least in what he says publicly.

I care about my soul and I've been trying leave the Democratic party - my only affiliation so far. I've been trying unsuccessfully. I sent my first, changing affiliation to "independent," form in September right after the charming performance of the Democrats in Congress. No response.
ReplyDeleteI sent the second form some 10 days ago, on the same day I send a check to IRS. The check was cashed immediately. So far no changes elsewhere. It is probably too early and I'll wait a couple of weeks, before ... I'll get really angry.
