Officials: Kerry Way Out of His League in Talks
inn ^ | 1/8/14 | David Lev

After weeks of diplomatic activity, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected in the coming days to present what is expected to be at least a temporary agreement or framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but senior Israeli officials are already dismissing the plan as “unsophisticated” and “unusable.”

The officials, quoted in Yisrael Hayom, said that Kerry had been rushing hither and fro in and attempt to hammer out details of what is expected to be the framework of what he would like to see implemented in order to pave the way for a final-status agreement. The framework is expected to lay out the final goals and eventual shape of a final-status deal, with Israel committing to give up land in Judea and Samaria, and the PA expected by Kerry to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and to back off on some of its demands.

But based on Kerry's public statements and conversations with them, the officials quoted said they don't expect anything useful to emerge from the process. “Kerry is here in the region a lot, but he has almost no understanding of how things work in the Middle East.

“As a result, the American plan is unsophisticated, and

I wish we had more incompetents in the Regime. Maybe they would goof and accidentally do things which benefit America.

Nor anywhere else either!!! We now have a flock of no-working lightweight Marxists running our once great country but the news is about Honey Boo Boo’s car crash!

He was in the Senate for 28 years and has no idea how things work there either.

You are absolutely correct. It is Jengjis! John Kerry is a disgrace, a traitor, and most definitely out of his league.

But did you know he “served” in Vietnam, but was “felled” by a “terminal hangnail,” awarded a medal and sent home. seriously, we have both White and Black $hit in our government today, and not much else!

"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

Not a subtle critique.

Of course, this is a guy who got totally played by David Ortega.

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":

Well, this fits a lot more with the Obama modus operandi.

There is NOT ONE THING Obama does, that does not HARM the United States. I was surprised at Kerry's selection, because as a former Presidential candidate, who appeared at least competent, this fell outside the Obama norm.

Now it fits again.

Kerry can you fool because he looks presentable and says decent things... but underneath is a senile idiot. I’ll bet his staff has to lead him along every step of the way. Kerry is probably on drugs for physical ailments that mess up his mind a bit. Half the old coots in the US Senate are.

You can never under estimate the glory seeking by this POS. Who will happily destroy Israel to get in the history books. Kerry is half Jewish via both his paternal grandparents.

Why doesn’t he work out a rice treaty between Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand? They are “seared” in his memory, aren’t they?

John Fonda Kerry didn't get "played" by communist leader Daniel Ortega. They are of the same political mindset.
