John Kerry: Pakistan Hasn’t Gotten Enough Credit For The Killing Of Bin Laden
Image
Wait, what? Pakistan did nothing to help us, in fact, they threw the doctor the CIA used to confirm Bin Laden was living in the compound in jail for 20+ years.

Quote:
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., opposed cutting foreign aid to Pakistan by arguing, among other things, that the Pakistanis haven’t gotten enough credit for their assistance in the operations that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Kerry was responding to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who suggested that the United States demand that Pakistan release Dr. Shakeel Afridi, whom they arrested after he helped the United States find bin Laden. Kerry noted the logistical support Pakistan provides to the Aghanistan war before suggesting that Pakistan helped American forces get bin Laden.

“Our folks were able to cooperate on the ground in Pakistan,” Kerry said during his first hearing about his nomination to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. “That’s one of the ways we were able to get Osama bin Laden. I don’t think the Pakistanis have frankly gotten credit, sufficiently, for the fact that they were helpful. It was their permissiveness in allowing our people to be there that helped us to be able to tie the knots that focused on that. To some degree — not exclusively, obviously, but to some degree.”

John Kerry Defends Obama’s F-16 Gifts To Muslim Brotherhood-Run Egypt
Image
Never forget, John Kerry hates America just as much as Obama does.

Quote:
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Thursday defended the Obama administration’s gift of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt despite Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi’s newly-surfaced comments referring to Israelis as “descendents of apes and pigs.”

Kerry, during his confirmation hearing to be the next secretary of state, told Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) the foreign aid package was worked out in 2010 when Hosni Mubarak still ruled Egypt.

“The fact that sometimes other countries elect someone you don’t agree with doesn’t give us permission to walk away,” Kerry said.

John Kerry: “I Have Big Heels To Fill” At State Department
Image
Wait, he wears high heels?

Quote:
Secretary John Kerry greeted his new colleagues at the State Department on Monday with a nod to his female predecessors.

“Here’s the big question before the country and the world and the State Department: After the last eight years, can a man actually run the State Department?” Kerry quipped.

Kerry is taking the reins from Hillary Clinton. Clinton succeeded Condoleezza Rice, who served as secretary of state from 2005-2009.

“As the saying goes, I have big heels to fill,” Kerry said.

Kerry Threatens To Cut Aid To Israel
Image
Hands off Israel, Horseface.

Quote:
The State Department will have to stop humanitarian aid to millions of people, cut foreign assistance to Israel, and delay efforts to ramp up diplomatic security abroad after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, if sequestration goes into effect next month, according to Secretary of State John Kerry.

At the beginning of March, across-the-board cuts to all discretionary spending accounts will go into effect, based on the 2011 Budget Control Act and the failure of the “supercommittee” to agree upon discretionary budget cuts in 2012. Congressional appropriators are planning to reorganize those cuts when the continuing resolution that has been temporarily funding the government expires at the end of March, a GOP Congressman told The Cable.

Until then, State and USAID are working on how to adjust to the impending new budget reality and Kerry is warning that the consequences will be severe.

Kerry To American Diplomats: “We Are Also Citizens Of The World”
Image
Because the rest of the world totally has America’s best interests in mind.

Quote:
John Kerry says his experience as the son of a Foreign Service officer — living abroad in various cities in his formative years — is helping him now that he’s secretary of state.

He indicated that he thinks of himself “not just” as a U.S. citizen, but as a “citizen of the world.”

As a child, “I learned a lot about the dislocations, the packing up, the moving, saying goodbye to friends, meeting new friends, being in a foreign country,” Kerry told the U.S. Embassy-London staff on Monday.

“And that experience, I’ll tell you, truly, is one that just lasts with you forever. I think back on the – such sense of independence that I gained and the confidence about meeting people in another country, seeing another culture, learning another language, and seeing the rest of the world.

“And in the end, we are not just – though we are proudly citizens of the United States of America, we are also citizens of the world.”

Kerry Praises Iran’s “Elected Government” And Its “Remarkable History”
Image
Is he serious?

Quote:
Describing Iran as a country with an “elected” government and a “remarkable history,” Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday reiterated President Obama’s willingness to hold bilateral talks with the regime.

“It’s a matter of public record that he personally communicated to the supreme leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] that he was prepared to engage and to discuss these issues,” Kerry told a news conference with his French counterpart in Paris.

Responding to a reporter’s question about negotiating with a “terrorist” regime, Kerry pointed out that “Iran is a country with a government that was elected and that sits in the United Nations.”

“And it is important for us to deal with nation-states in a way that acts in the best interests of all of us in the world,” he added, drawing a parallel with President Reagan’s willingness to sit down with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and President Nixon’s decision to engage with China.

Kerry Repeatedly Stresses That It’s “President Obama’s Foreign Policy,” Not His
Image
Gee, I wonder why?

Quote:
Whether on Syria, Egypt or Iran, Secretary of State John Kerry wants Americans to know that President Obama, not he, is in charge of America’s foreign policy.

In a round of interviews Tuesday with U.S. media outlets in Qatar, the last stop on his inaugural foreign trip as top U.S. diplomat, Kerry repeatedly stressed that the decisions were Obama’s.

Asked whether the United States could “afford the kind of foreign policy that you want to lead” – with reference to the announcement of more aid to Egypt, among other things – Kerry told NPR’s Michele Kelemen, “Let me say to you very directly, first of all, this is President Obama’s foreign policy, and the president and I agree 100 percent that Egypt is vital to the region, to our interests.”

Asked by CNN’s Jill Dougherty whether he would be willing “to sit down with the Iranians,” Kerry said, “Well, I’m willing to do what the president instructs me to do, and the president calls that shot.”

When CBS News’ Margaret Brennan asked Kerry, “what would it take for you to take that next step” on supporting the anti-Assad opposition in Syria, he told her, “Well, it’s not me … it’s a matter of the president, and there has to be, obviously, a process by which that decision might or might not be made. I’m going to go back and report to the president the things I’ve heard.”

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz asked him, “Would you rule out lethal aid [to Syrian rebels] in the future?” and Kerry answered, “That’s not my job to do. That’s the president of the United States’ decision …”

John Kerry: We Call This Planet “Earth” But It “Could Well Have Been Called Ocean”
Image
Genius!

Quote:
Describing himself as “a child of the ocean,” Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the “fragile ecosystem” is threatened by climate change.

“We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time — we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean,” Kerry told a gathering at the National Geographic Society in Washington on Monday.

Kerry mentioned the “enormous challenge ahead of us,” given an “energy policy that results in acidification, the bleaching of coral, the destruction of species, the change in the Arctic because of the ice melt, and the change in the krill, the population of whales. The entire system is interdependent, and we toy with that at our peril.”

Karzai Accuses U.S. Military Of Committing Atrocities In Afghanistan While Speaking In Front Of John Kerry
Image
Kerry’s response . . . nothing.

Quote:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, during a joint press briefing with Secretary of State John Kerry, reiterated his accusation that U.S. special forces have been committing atrocities in Wardak province. Kerry did not contradict Karzai, though U.S. officials have denied the charges.

Here’s the relevant portion of the transcript of Karzai’s commentstoday, during a joint briefing with Kerry:

“On the Special Forces and Wardak, ma’am, we received complaints from citizens of Wardak, residents of Wardak, about six months ago, that certain forces employed by the Special Forces were very heavy-handed with the local population. We investigated that. We found out that there was a person called Zikriya, an Afghan name, who apparently is an Afghan American, hailing originally from Kandahar province, who was part of this force and who, together with his team in Wardak, was violating the rights of the Afghan people massively. And we took up this issue with the Special Forces, with the military. At that time, General Allen was here in charge. We investigated. Much of what was said turned out to be true, on evidence, that this man and the militias with him were abusing the rights of the Afghan people – torture, including killing. And we used all of the ways to correct the situation.

But then in the past five, six weeks, we received more complaints of a student who was taken out of his home at night, and two days later his dead body was found under a bridge. And the local people said this was done by the Special Forces. We took up the issue and we launched our investigation. The U.S. Government did its own part.”

Lurch Hails U.N. For Passing Arms Treaty
Image
Hail it all you want, there’s no chance the Senate will ratify it.

Quote:
Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday enthusiastically welcomed an overwhelming U.N. General Assembly vote in favor of a global conventional arms trade treaty, but many of his former colleagues in the U.S. Senate – which will have to ratify the treaty – are leery.

The U.S. joined 153 other nations voting in favor of the arms trade treaty (ATT), ending almost a decade of negotiations. Three countries – Iran, Syria and North Korea – opposed it while another 23 countries abstained, among them Russia and China, both major arms exporters.

Kerry in a statement welcoming the “historic outcome” of the talks described the ATT as “strong, effective and implementable,” saying that the treaty “can strengthen global security while protecting the sovereign right of states to conduct legitimate arms trade.”

John Kerry Compares Victims Of Boston Terror Attack To Islamists Killed By Israel During Raid On Gaza Flotilla
Image
What an idiot.

Quote:
Speaking at Istanbul, Turkey, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a jarring comparison between the victims of the Boston Marathon terror bombs and terror activists from the IHH group who were killed when they attacked IDF forces aboard the Mavi Marmara in 2010.

Kerry told his hosts in Turkey that he understands the pain of the families whose loved ones were killed aboard the Marmara – and added that he can understand their pain well, having just dealt with the families whose loved ones were slain in Boston.

Kerry said in his speech that he hopes the Israeli apology will lead to a thawing of Israel-Turkey relations.

Representatives of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu arrived in Turkey Sunday, for talks on the compensation Israel will pay Turkey for the deaths of the IHH terror activists. The apology was brokered by U.S. President Barack Obama, as part of a rapprochement between Israel and Turkey that may include security cooperation regarding the Iranian nuclear weapons threat.

Kerry: Tsarnaev Returned From Dagestan With A “Willingness To Kill People”
Image

Now tell us what motivated him. C’mon, you can say it, begins with an “I,” ends with a “slam.”

Quote:
Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev returned from Russia last year “with a willingness to kill people.”

He was asked after a meeting in Belgium if the United States has a problem with young people being hopeless about their futures, an issue that countries like Syria are grappling with.

“Well, of course we have the same problem. We just had a young person who went to Russia, Chechnya, who blew people up in Boston,” Kerry said. “So he didn’t stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people.”

His remarks appear to go further than those made by other U.S. officials, who have said they haven’t determined yet if Tsarnaev received terrorist training during his 6-1/2 month stay in Russia. Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, are suspected of carrying out the Boston bombings last week.

Putin Keeps John Kerry Waiting For Three Hours Before Kremlin Meeting On Syria
Image
Quick, someone grab the reset button.

Quote:
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was looking to strengthen ties with Russia as he tries to put an end to the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but instead he was met with the coldest of receptions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria.

Kerry’s visit to Moscow comes as he seeks Russian help in ending Syria’s civil, telling President Putin that common interest in a stable Middle East could bridge divisions among the big powers.

Putin, however, made no mention in his own public remarks of the conflict in Syria, which has generated some of the frostiest exchanges between Washington and Moscow since the Cold War.
