John Kerry, tireless in his diplomatic efforts, often came up empty-handed
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/27/2016 | Tracy Wilkinson

John F. Kerry was late to his own party.

Staffers, journalists and other officials were gathered in the ornate Benjamin Franklin salon at the State Department on Dec. 14 for early Christmas festivities. But the secretary of State was nowhere to be seen.

Kerry was on the telephone to various world leaders, trying to find out about a major diplomatic meeting — from which the United States had been excluded.

The gathering, which sought to broker a resolution to the devastating Syrian conflict, took place six days later in Moscow and involved the foreign ministers of Russia, Iran and Turkey.

From the comments section of the article: "So, his two biggest successes were giving away the store to Iran, and going along with the global warming scam which solves nothing. Like Hillary, he confuses miles traveled with real success. Go back to windsurfing Lurch."

At least he had Genghis Khan to keep him company.

Kerry was like a dog chasing his tail, always on the go, never reaching his goal.

If only Kerry could have accomplished as much as he did in Viet Nam where in the 4 months he was there he accumulated 4 Band-Aid Purple Hearts that gave him license to exit the scene.

THE LA TIMES DID US A DISERVICE HIDING THE RASHID KHALIDI PARTY TAPE FROM US FOR 9 YEARS. THE SPECULATION WAS OBAMA GAVE HIS NEGATIVE ISRAELI OPINIONS ON IT AGREEING WITH KHALIDI.

TIME FOR THE LA TIMES TO RELEASE THIS VIDEO FOR SOME MEASURE OF INTEGRITY.

OBAMA’S TRUE FACE HAS BEEN EXPOSED.

CAN YOU IMAGEN ISRAELS REACTION TO THE UN OBAMA DOCTRINE OF LETTING SUCH AND ANTI ISRAEL UN PASS IF HILLARY WAS GOING TO SWORN IN INSTEAD OF TRUMP. BIBI WOULD NOW BE PLANNING WAR.

Exactly. “Oft thought, but ne’er so well expressed.”

On the phone trying to find out about a meeting to which he had not been invited.

That is irrelevance.

His greatest successes were the Iranian nuclear deal and a global warming initiative.

That is corruption.

From a 1971 Doonesbury cartoon. 45 years later Kerry is still a narcissistic moronic buffoon.

I remember it being reported by them this a$$hole used a 16mm camera and crew to ‘recreate’ his combat exploits.

Dorkbama trying to learn elementary algebra would also be tireless.

However, he would fail because he simply doesn’t have the brains.

And Dorkbama makes Lurch seem intelligent.

Ain’t life grand?

Ultimate definition on what the principles in the Mideast really think of Kerry and Obama. Netanyahu is overt in his condemnation. Russia, Turkey, Iran, Syria and the others purposely excluded the useless pompous, narcissistic Kerry from negotiations in Moscow as they cut their own deal. The American people have been badly served by the Obama/Clinton/Kerry mauling of foreign affairs. Material and human treasure has been squandered. The US policies have created bitter long term enemies.

The John Kerry Legacy:

Tirelessly empty headed and empty handed.
