DAVOS, Switzerland — Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry slammed the foreign policy of the Bush administration on Saturday, saying it has caused the United States to become "a sort of international pariah."
The statement came as the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee responded to a question about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran's government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.
Kerry said the Bush administration has failed to adequately address a number of foreign policy issues.
"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.
"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East — in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."

These traitors are quite serious about tearing down this country and they seem to be in a really big hurry to do it.
The Kerry misunderstanding is that national security has nothing to do with international consensus.
Pompous moron.
What does that mean? I did not know we were moving aids to Africa, Wonder if Maxine Waters knows about this..
Did'nt Jon Carry vot against Kyoto back in the 90's?
This is the real Kerry. We all see now that when he's not running for president he doesn't have to pretend to be pro-American.
Perhaps it's another botched joke by John I am so dumb Kerry?
How much longer will we have to suffer this wind bag?
Yeah, I know he's a traitor, but why is that bum in Switzerland???? Doesn't he have government pork to process?
I can't believe this guy is my senator! The lowest, most despicable traitor to ever hold the post. His constant tearing down of our nation in foreign countries is beyond the pale. I really would like to see him tried and convicted for treason and hung in the public square at Fanueil Hall. What a waste of oxygen.
This is why Woodrow Wilson and Abraham Lincoln tossed the copperheads and their running dog lackeys in the pokey for the duration.
"...we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy". That's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, don't ya think?
This isn't related, but Kerry's twin sister Murtha is in Iraq to 'See how the war is doing" Get ready for constant whining from this brave soldier about how the war can't be won and how much of a quagmire it is over there- He'll no doubt see things in Iraq that don't match his minds eye view of quagmire and will have tro come up with stuff like "well it could become if this and this and this and this and this were to happen" http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070126/pl_nm/iraq_pelosi_dc_1

I don't know, but I will check and see
Jon Carry has moved from botched military career to botched presidential campaign to botched joke to botched criticism.
Jon Carry might have botchulism.
Yep.
