Kerry pleaded with Abdullah to accept the deal. Im asking you as a friend to trust me, he said.

I get it. sKerry droned on and on about himself until all parties were begging him to stop.

When he pulled out his magic boonie cap and began fondling it
several participants lurched outside into an alley and shot themselves.

I think the breaking point was when he showed everyone the scar from the rice shrapnel.

Let me try and give this propaganda some perspective by analogy.
An entire FOREST is burning....Hillary and Obama and Kerry took blowtorches to the land and it is ablaze.
Kerry walks into a house and finds a stovetop fire. He grabs a kitchen-sized extinguisher and blasts it once or twice. The fire on the stove is about 80% out.
The media applauds Kerry for “success” as a firefighter.
