Kerry Slams ‘Trigger Happy’ Critics: U.S. Should Be ‘Proud’ of Obama’s Diplomatic Successes
Mediaite ^ | 20 Jul 2014 | Evan McMurry

Juggling foreign policy hotspots from Israel to Iran to Ukraine, Secretary of State John Kerry strongly defended the Obama administration’s foreign policy to Meet the Press host David Gregory, arguing that the administration had successfully used diplomacy to further peace whereas certain previous administration (a-HEM) were “trigger happy” to the point of starting wars.

“What [Obama] faces is a problem with a bunch of critics who want to jump to conclusions without looking at the facts,” Kerry said. “The facts could not be more clear. The United States of America has never been more engaged, helping to lead in more places than we are now.”

Kerry listed multiple diplomatic successes, from a quieter North Korea to the destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons to the rollback of Iran’s nuclear program.

“One thing I’ve seen for certain: people aren’t worrying around the United States, sitting around wanted the US to leave; people are afraid the United States might leave,” Kerry said. “The fact is that in every fundamental issue of conflict today, the United States is in the center, leading, and trying to find an effort to make peace where peace is very difficult.

Let’s see, bowing down to our enemies..despising Israel, embracing Hamas, kissing Iran’s ass..being “Flexible” with Russia, having the blood of 298 people who were slaughtered on MH17 on their hands..yep that pretty much covers the Obama Admin “Successes”

I wonder which of his diplomatic triumphs we should be most proud of? It’s hard to choose—there are so many.

Did the personal assistant to SecState John “Lurch” Kerry forget to give him his medication? If not, his definition of “successful diplomacy” needs a serious reality check. Or, Lurch is as much as an incompetent liar and dimwit as is Dear Leader, Barack Obamination.

Wow...just Wow!

Between the Press Secretary last week spouting off about a “tranquil world” to Kerry’s statement, I suspect their either loyal parts of the cabal (hence Hillary stepping down as not so loyal)or their scared witless by this shadow government.

I asked the question a few months ago and as these propaganda statement become more and more outrageous at what point does one declare the “government” in DC is NOT the United States Government?

Does Hussein even know what is going on? Does he keep in touch with See-BS enough to stay “informed”?
