that’s a lot of baloney because, to whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective who are there, who will deal with those guys.

Go ahead and make sense of that sentence.

I dare you.

“We’re going to have very few people in that kind of position,” he said. “On occasion, but I honestly, I just think that’s a lot of baloney because, to whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective who are there, who will deal with those guys.”

Say What?
I think I need a translator over here.
This man (Vietnam Vet, doncha know) is in love with his own voice.

Now that we have funded these terrorists for the next 10 years, they will be taking these soldiers captive wherever they can find them. If they aren't in Afghanistan, then in the Ukraine (where we are sending "advisors") or Nato bases in Turkey or anywhere else in the world. They might even take them off the streets here.

If Obozo is willing to spend millions of dollars for a deserter, what would he pay for a General or a Colonel or a medal of honor winner?

Of course he is. How could anybody match the high standards of success that she achieved?

See another current thread: Hillary Clinton remains popular for her time as secretary of state, viewed apart from Obama

Well, John “I was in Viet Nam” Kerry knows as much about foreign policy and foreign relations as Joe Biden. So I’d say we got nothing to sweat here, folks. /s

John Kerry doe not understand history if he thinks winding down a war in Afghanistan means there there are no risks. The Afghans have a history of making life miserable for a withdrawing army.

Just ask the Brits and the Russians.

The Democrats hitched their wagon to Obama and he ran them off a cliff.
EVERY terrorist attack now belongs to the Democrat Party.

Obama just set the value of one American soldier Mr. Kerry!

Our enemy is not stupid! ...and neither are most Americans.

Did JFnKerry ever apologize for his putting GIs at greater risk — by his pro-Viet Cong activities?

Johnny Ketchup mixes a bunch of words together, throws it at the eager MSM, and you want us to make sense out of them?
