State Dept. scrambles to salvage Kerry's meeting with Syrian rebel coalition
foxnews.com ^ | 2/24/13 | James Rosen

Posted on 02/24/2013 2:06:04 PM PST by ColdOne

Over the weekend, however, the Syrian Opposition Council -- the main umbrella group for the broad array of rebel politicians, clerics and soldiers, many of them Islamists with ties to al-Qaeda and other unsavory networks -- announced it was boycotting the session with Kerry in Rome.

Oh, Mr. Rosen, there’ll be a lot of State’s scrambling to save Mr. Kerry. BO won’t be there to do it for them.

Heh, getting pretty bad when even America hating terrorists don’t want to meet with another America hater.

I guess even Al Qaeda has higher standards in people with whom they will associate than the Viet Cong.

Islamic rebels don’t feel the need to deal with a weak horse. Much less a weak horse face...

in contrast the Viet Cong and NVA were truly scum ~ but that doesn't turn AlQaida into the gentlemen's quartet of delightful poetry.

They are also scum.

Sorry, I didn’t realize that my snark there was so subtle it needed a [/sarcasm] tag.

These rebels probably don't trust his traitorous ass - he's been buds with Assad over the years and even helped arrange a Vogue magazine puff piece for Assad's wife.

The puff piece included these whoppers: Asma al-Assad has British roots, wears designer fashion, worked for years in banking, and is married to the dictator Bashar al-Assad......praised the Assads as a "wildly democratic" family-focused couple who vacation in Europe, foster Christianity, are at ease with American celebrities, made theirs the "safest country in the Middle East," and want to give Syria a "brand essence."

Is there any better example of the collaboration betweeen the elite in the RAT party and the media?

Kerry is still the Bushwhacking , Two-Timing, Bottom-Dealing, Sidewinder that he always was.

Without this posting one would not know why he’s going to Italy in the first place. Iti elections are today and BB (fist name starts with Billionaire) might pull it off. Their elections are usually are not resolved within a week so their foreign minister of the month would be yet to be decided.

Very likely the reason the Islamists won’t meet with him is because they won’t sign Kyoto treaty.

Kerry is actually quite stupid or he would have openly rejected Socialism and its manifestations long ago. That also means he's mentally ill.

No one trusts someone like that.

Well what about John Kerry’s meetings with the North Vietnamese in Paris in 1973?

Maybe they thought Kerry was going to wear a suicide jacket?

And here I thought Kerry was vying for another statue of himself in the Middle East like the one in Vietnam.
