Secretary of State John Kerry unveiled the Obama Administration’s new strategy for dealing with the Islamic terrorist threat in Syria and Iraq: make ISIS laugh so hard that incompetent US-backed factions can sneak up and kill them while they are doubled over in hysterics. In response to the most recent ISIS beheading of an American, Kerry warned the Islamic barbarians that the US will not be intimidated.
Seriously, that’s it. The official Obama response to the beheading death of former US soldier Peter Kassig is that we will not be intimidated. Not more bombs. Not more troops. Not a military commitment to ending the Islamic reign of terror, but rather a mild vague threat with no muscle to back it up. ISIS must be pissing themselves by this complete lack of a reaction from the US.
In advance of trying to broker a deal that will allow Iran to continue developing nuclear weapons (WTF?) Kerry decided Obama’s foreign policy needed to be much worse so he emboldened ISIS with a non-response to another brutal killing of an American.
The AP reports:
Left unchecked, Kerry said that the Islamic State group could grow worldwide. Already, he said, the IS has seized more land and resources “than al-Qaida ever had on its best day of its existence.”
IS “leaders assume that the world will be too intimidated to oppose them,” Kerry said. “But let us be clear: We are not intimidated.”
In other words, the United States will continue its course of little to no action as ISIS murders its way across the Middle East. This is just another affirmation of the Obama Administration’s “we don’t have a strategy yet.”

And who was President at the times in question?
Left unchecked, Kerry said
Kerry should NEVER be left unsupervised...
Its one thing to take a macho posture and announce to the world that you will not be “intimidated”. Its entirely another and more challenging matter to properly evaluate a dangerous enemy and develop sound, effective policy. The reality is that Kerry’s carbon footprint and his love of photo ops are way out of proportion to his actual accomplishments.
Need the bunny suit pic...
We don’t need to be intimidated when we have so many incompetent fools to throw at them, people who don’t know the difference between Islam and catechism. We are filled with confidence in our capacity to fail.
Kerry did make one good statement that I heard on the radio. He said, “This is not a clash of civilizations, it’s a clash between civilization and barbarism.”
In my view, the war on terror will never end. It’s like Florida’s war on mosquitos, i.e., you can never get rid of them entirely, so all you can do is kill them down to a tolerable level. Note: “kill them down”, not “negotiate with them.”
That picture of Kerry in a bunny suit is a stereotype that defames bunnies everywhere. Rabbits are MUCH more brave than that.
Oh, Mr. Kerry, but you clearly ARE intimidated, because you have no effective answer to this, and your only visible response is to defend the cult that gives birth to this barbarism.
Someone who was not intimidated would erase them from the face of the earth, but you are clearly not that person.
Too much Botox!
The day a real man takes over, the beheadings stop. See: Reagan takes over, Iranian hostages head home.
As with all creepos obozo appointed to cabinet level, they are not worthy to work at the lowest of low jobs and off hand, I can’t think of what those could be.
No one could ever look at this creature or listen to him and not become hysterical.
I think these guys are different. It’s a badge of honor to kill an American and beheading is the only thing that can sway public opinion for ground troops to be sent into battle. Remember, we don’t want to go there and die, but they get to fulfill their dream plus believe they’ll get 72 virgins. Maybe they’re horny.
Great posts BUMP!
This vapid, self-prenning fool traitor, skerry, should resign and go home to his alcoholic wife.
