I wonder how "a moment of truth" will translate to Russian? Could sound like praise for Putin.

Then there's the moment of truth in Iraq where the bad dudes are now using all the old American weapons and control some WMD. Amen

Mr. Obama...In war, we have always left a contingency force behind..except for Iraq where you didn't hesitate to empty it of American troops.

This is odd, I thought that the administration did not talk about on-going investigations?

Maybe they don’t talk about the investigations where the administration is the guilty party...

[dforest]

I don’t believe one word the current government says. Not ONE word. They are consummate liars.

More like the moment of stark truth for Kerry. The reality is that the US under Obama no longer has the power or influence to dictate world events. Sanctions may harass and annoy Russia but in the end Russia will do what it perceives to be in its own best interests. So will China, India, Israel, the Saudis and Iran. The United States and the West can only influence the world when their policies and practices are clearly effective. Then others will wish to emulate. There is virtually no country that has shown interest in emulating the policies of the Obama administration.

“President Vladimir Putin needed to “exert all of the influences they have” to protect the integrity of an investigation into what happened.”

WOW. John Kerry is such a sage of inspiring wisdom. /s

Dumba$$ Kerry, Putin has the black box from the wreckage. LOL. I’m sure he will turn it over to Kerry.

Dear John F’n,
On the contrary I would see it as a moment of truth
for the Obama administration, of course it is just
one moment of truth amongst myriad others as we have
seen and no doubt will see for the next infinitely long
two and a half years.
A concerned citizen.

I keep reminding myself that, in most countries, the things Kerry did would have landed him in prison rather than becoming Senator, Secretary of State and almost President of the United States. What a colossal traitor to his country the man is and one more black mark on Obama’s presidency that he is representing us around the world.

[headstamp 2]

Is this like ‘speaking truth to power” John?

[dfwgator]

Kerry wouldn’t know what truth is even if it bit him in the ass.

[elcid1970]

It sure is a moment of truth. As of right now Putin knows he can get away with absolutely anything.

John Kerry’s moment of truth was when he engineered his fourth band aid Purple heart and was transferred out of Viet Nam after only a few months in theater.

Being a Polish citizen, I'm a mere guest here at freerepublic.com, nevertheless, I'd like to share with you some of my thoughts.

1. When on 10th of April 2010, Polish government plane with President Lech Kaczyński and his wife hit the ground, leading to death of more then 90 Polish officials, it lead to a wave of tasteless jokes about "how eagle has landed (vide. Dutch newspapers)". Western European leaders dismissed the idea of act of terrorism despise the evidence that this was a planned operation by forces trained in this field of expertise.
It was clear that this "incident" did not happen because of bad weather, pilots mistake, lack of knowledge of russian, etc. It simply was a cold blooded murder. President Kaczyński was a stout catholic with great influence on Polish nation, he was a hero who fought against communists during the dark moments of our Polish history.
I might not agree with all his ideas, nevertheless, I believe he always made decisions based only on his will to serve and protect his nation.
In this brave new world, that's how you sign your own deathwish, I guess.
2. Mr President Obama, knowing about the tragedy did not take time to visit Polish embassy, he prefered to play golf. I guess it's fine, we're just another, little, European, post-communist, catholic country that has been USA's friend since... the beggining of your state! Even though it cost us a lot (after 9/11/2001 when Polish govermnent informed that we will be sending our troops to help USA in WOT, French president told that we "have lost our chance to shut up").
3.Western Europe is shocked that someone can kill their citizens and will not take the punishment... Polish govermnent has warned UN, EU, USA, etc. that the country called "Russia" is nothing more then a rouge state led by a tyrant dreaming of restornig the bipolar world dominiation.
All our warnings were dismissed as a sign of "Polish russophobia". Well... now you have it, chips went down, people got killed, what kind of evidence do you need? 4. Finally, I still believe that Polish people and American Nation share the same values. We are still here, we will stand our ground. Muslims, Nazis, Commies, they all tried to eradicate us from these lands, but they all failed. If foreign power will try to establish their sick rule over Poland, they will meet same kind of resistance they have met always, we'll make them another 1920's Polish-Bolshevik war.
This post is not to show reluctance towards our - Polish - American relations, I believe that both our nations should support each other.

[realcleanguy]

The backing of ISIS is John Kerry’s moment of truth. Why did he train and fund this group? Information now out says we knew they were in our terrorist (Insurgent) training camps in Jordan.

Could this be the “Lusitania” moment?
