Israeli newspaper slams John Kerry: ‘Clueless U.S. mediator’
WashingtonTimes.com ^ | July 9, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Israeli media doesn’t have a favorable impression of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his push toward peace in the Middle East, opening one opinion page posting with this title: “Clueless U.S. mediator.” Ynet News’ Hagai Segal’s angle: Why is Mr. Kerry trying too hard to facilitate a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, when Egypt and Syria are in utter chaos?

Even The New York Times wonders this question, Ynet said. And his work to bring about this deal is only “placing American foreign policy in a ridiculous light,” the Israeli paper opined. “The U.S. cannot make peace between Arabs and other Arabs, yet it believes it can make peace between Israel and the Palestinians. … Is it possible that John Kerry is more talented than all the American mediators who came before him? Not at all.”

As usual, the Israelis are spot on.

Time for Barry to do one of his apology tours for picking old horse face as his new SOS.

Egypt is blowing up and Kerry is trying to negotiate a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians...John Kerry reporting to duty.

He can’t do that to our pledges.

Only we can do that to our pledges.

What’s that on your chest, mister?

-It’s a pledge pin, sir.

-A pledge pin!

On your uniform?

Well hell, we could have told them that a long time ago. This whole administration is riddled with crooks, liars and traitors.

Don't the Israelis realize that John Kerry served in Vietnam?

Back around 1989 i was waiting in line at a 7-11 on Cape Cod with a friend who was buying gatoraid and some other stuff with a bunch of change.
Next thing i know i’m hearing this huffing and puffing coming from some clown behind me. Aparently my buddy was taking to long for the tool so i turned around to see who this obnoxious reject was an lo and behold it was John freakin Kerry, All dressed up like a beach bum with a long white tee-shirt and flip flops on with what looked like a sweet looking 20 yr old blonde “Neice”.
I just gave him the “you are a complete dick head look” and walked out the door.

That was my brush with Long John Liveshot Kerry, One of the most useless politician in Massachusetts history.

What’s really sad about this is Kerry is one step up from Hillary.

Kerry is a glorified traitor. A true jackass. Obama surrounds himself with these jerks. Diplomatic Corps, dead and forgotten. No news in freeperland.

I can hardly stand listening to Michael Savage, but one thing he is correct on... “Liberalism is a mental disorder...” I might augment that be adding there is also a moral component to the mental disorder.

Narcissists seldom 'get a clue' - more like ' never in fact. Upside is they never realize they are out - out of the loop. They reduce themselves to a laughing stock but never see themselves for the world-class, bad joke that they are.

Meantime; the rest of us suffer these fools. . .

“Kerry would have an easier time convincing Greenpeace to dine on whale steak and spotted owl than in brokering peace between Israel and Palestinians,” Michael Rubin, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, told TheDC.

What’s more, Rubin said, with all the fires flaring around the world, it makes little sense that Kerry would devote so much time to a problem that isn’t currently in a position to be resolved.

“Egypt is imploding, and Turkey is going south fast. Antagonism between Europe and America is at an all-time high. China is bullying U.S. allies in southeast Asia. And what is Kerry doing? Off tilting at windmills,” he said.

Kerry’s wife Theresa was in the hospital in critical condition—did they ever get him off the boat long enough to go see her?

Maybe he kayaked over to the hospital for a visit.

One thing we all know about Kerry, He is no Rocket Scientist.
A traitor, a liar, a war criminal, friend of Jane Fonda.
But he isn’t so well known for his brilliance.

Remember this only 4 republicans voted not to endorse him.
What does that say for republicans?.
