Speaking Thursday at a joint appearance with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Secretary of State John Kerry admitted that there were “many al Qaeda leaders now operating in Syria”—where President Barack Obama decided two months ago to provide military support to rebel forces fighting alongside al Qaeda to overthrow the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Asad.

Asad is a member of the Alawite sect, which is a derivative of Shiite Islam; the Syrian rebels are predominantly Sunni, and al Qaeda is Sunni. …

In June, six months after his administration designated the Nusra Front an al Qaeda alias and terrorist group, President Obama decided to provide military support to the Syrian opposition. …

Can someone please explain to me how a supposedly intelligent individual gets to these incredible positions of power and decsion-making when they (and their associates in the State Dept.) are complete imbeciles? Please? Somebody? Anybody?

How did he command a boat during Vietnam? How did he survive?

Just looking at him reminds me of the face and IQ of Herman Munster (Fred Gwynn?) from the classic 60’s TV show the Munsters...

It’s almost like there is no communications, briefings or internal memos. Hell, his predecessor should have given him a heads up about something. Ignorance is bliss, and John just wants to be a happy guy.

Don't know how you feel about the scriptures, but this kind of stuff was foretold in the books of the prophets such as Yisheyah (Isaiah) and Daniel.
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. — Yisheyah 3:4

(T)he Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. — Daniyel 4:17

Plenty of communication. None being relevant to the issues at hand at any given time. Thus we see March madness receive all sorts of attention while ‘employment’ madness receives none.

Then consider that anything not agreeing with or outright conflicting with agendas are ignored or suppressed to the exclusion of all else.

They are “intelligent” simply by declaring themselves Liberals. That’s what Liberals believe. They are superior to all intelligent life. God gave Man dominion over the Animal Kingdom. Liberals gave themselves Dominion over Humans, and appointed themselves the protector of the Negro.

“His predecessor” - SHRILLIARY???, “Heads up”??

The only thing is that while Peter says ‘To ones level of incompetence and no further”, they use a modified version in which the person incompetent is then promoted yet higher. Rinse and repeat. No one will accept responsibility for promoting the idiot do they further promote him in the hope he will do well there.

The other answer is simple everyday payback.

Olog-hai,

If these things come to pass then we have a long way to go downwards yet. Scary and relevant. No doubt BHO is destroying US hegemony and respect.

“How did he command a boat during Vietnam? How did he survive?”

As I recall Kerry was only in Vietnam for 4 months, just long enough to get tour credit, and was “injured” 3 times during that, probably his “injuries” had him on limited duty for weeks

That and the fact he was a JR officer and had handlers above him and probably a competent enlisted crew that really ran the boat

Didn’t the Swifties write a book that exposed Kerry as a POS?

He’s in wind capable of moving a human body...

He’s in a lake...

And his hair is perfectly in place in every picture.

The reason you feel confused is because you assume Kerry is trying to advance the interests of the American people. If you assume he and his superiors are traitors with a different agenda, then it all makes sense.
