A whole group of terrorists.

On a visit to Nigeria today, Secretary of State John Kerry declared there are "far too many" who join terrorist groups like Boko Haram "because they have trouble finding meaning or opportunity in their daily lives."
"Because they are deeply frustrated and alienated -- and because they hope groups like Boko Haram will somehow give them a sense of identity, or purpose, or power," Kerry said after meeting with local religious leaders to discuss community building and countering violent extremism in Sokoto, Nigeria.
".... When people -- and particularly young people -- have no hope for the future and no faith in legitimate authority -- when there are no outlets for people to express their concerns -- then aggravation festers and those people become vulnerable to outside influence," he added. "And no one knows that better than the violent extremist groups, which regularly use humiliation and marginalization and inequality and poverty and corruption as recruitment tools."

"To effectively counter violent extremism, we have to ensure that military action is coupled with a reinforced commitment to the values this region and all of Nigeria has a long legacy of supporting -- values like integrity, good governance, education, compassion, security, and respect for human rights," he said.
The Obama administration has been critical of Nigeria's military campaign against Boko Haram, charging that human rights are being violated as they target suspected terrorists.
"It is understandable that in the wake of terrorist activity, some people are tempted to crack down on everyone and anyone who could theoretically pose some sort of a threat. I caution against that today," Kerry said. "Extremism cannot be defeated through repression or just creating fear. Fear instilled through repression invites not confidence; it invites contempt. It creates terrorists -- trust creates citizens."

What an absurd statement. Since the beginning of time, people have searched for the meaning of life. So “killing all the Christians and Jews” is the meaning of life??
It’s projection. Read it.....He’s projecting. “trouble finding meaning of life” led him to become a domestic terrorist as a Democrat.
What he did all those years ago was terrorism. The meetings in Paris. The speeches. Especially the baby killer speech.
I hope I outlive him. I will visit his grave.
Obama had to pick him to try and make Hillary look good...

Close..
BOTH hilary and JF’nK are/were there to insure NO one in the Cabinet was/is not smarter than the person that put them there.
I still feel the Nations of the World feel ‘disrespected’ because THIS malmisadministration picked some one to represent the USofA that the citizens of the USofA turned out.
Revering a pedophile prophet leads many to terrorism.

Well, that’s embarrassing. At State we’ve gone from Al Capone to Forrest Gump. If She Who Is Not To Be Named throws Algore at the job we have a trifecta of venality and stupidity.
This is the grown-up version of what we teachers are told over and over about sociopathic, defiant students. They are “frustrated” because they want so very much to learn and be good, but the curriculum is inaccessible and their homelives are not good and racism means they don’t have a future and nothing is their fault, nothing, nothing. They are just so sad and hopeless that flatly refusing to work and selling drugs in the bathroom is all the poor little angels can do.
...Did he say that with a straight face...
He put on his best Lurch face.
A whole group of terrorists.
More idiocy from Horse-face. He’s competing with Marie Harf for the gold medal in bufoonery.
“Go wind surfing again.....”
I was just thinking how nice it would be if he went wind surfing or kite boarding and a little micro thermal caught his sail and carried him up and away, never to be seen again.
If johnf#ckenkerry would just give them midnight basketball the whole world would be as right as rainbows and unicorns sh!tting skittles.
Cmon now; tell us how you really feel.
You do know the Feds have all our names and addresses, don’t you?
Oh well; we will all end up in the same gulag any way.
I’ll bring a 12 pack, better still a couple of cases.
I was going more for a shark feeding frenzy.
I lose it sometimes!!
Well they better send five or six guys to get me and plan no only going back with 2 or 3.
The left thinks they are the only one who can be dangerous and crazy.
They dont know what dangerous and crazy is.
But they’re gonna find out.
I haven’t been all there since 15 so I’m ready to dance if they want.
