Secretary of State John Kerry faced swift criticism Wednesday for saying the terror attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport was evidence the Islamic State is getting “desperate” "Our years of hard work have them on the run, they're falling apart. If you're desperate and if you know you’re losing, and you know you want to give up your life, then obviously you can do some harm.”

Kerry made the remarks late Tuesday at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, referring to ISIS by the name Daesh.

Only the Obama administration would claim an attack that killed 50 people is a sign of a job well done.

Kerry is such total idiot....

If pressed, Kerry could probably throw away his medals again.

And blame his own generation of veterans again.

[Grog]

I don't believe he blamed the veterans of his generation, but rather the political leadership.

There's no nuance there, except for a True Conservative. :lol:

[johnforbes]

Grog, who cares what you "believe"?

Kerry did indeed blame the veterans of his generation, saying (based on Winter Soldier info later proven totally false) that they engaged in torture and genocide.

This was Navy guy Kerry's testimony, when he had not the slightest idea what he was talking about:

"...They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."

[Grog]

Nope. Kerry blamed the political leadership. I'm sure JustFreedManIntrepidMe as well as simple Silly and his simpler, government-teat-sucking brother TVD believe your moronic mendacities, but that doesn't make them true. In fact, anyone with a lick of sense knows that the actual truth is usually the opposite of what you people claim.

[johnforbes]

Grog, are you insane?

I quoted Kerry's very words.

Do a little Googling and you can find them.

Of course, he blamed other things, but the undeniable fact remains that Kerry accused his own generation of veterans of torture, genocide, etc.

He said what he said, and was never man enough to apologize clearly.

[Grog]

No. You parsed. Just like Eric Bolling parsed today when he said Obama said "You didn't build that," ostensibly referring to small businesses. No, when Obama said "You didn't build that" he was specifically referring to the infrastructure that enabled small businesses to get going.

You can try to play these games with your ignorati brothers and cousins, Forbes. It don't work with guys like me.

But, please, keep trying. :lol:

Sure sounds like he blamed his fellow military members to me!

[Grog]

No wonder you have to use so many nicks. :lol:

If John "Effin' " Kerry was even marginally smarter than Elkindoofus he would be humiliated by the efforts he put forth during his record attempt at fastest tour of Vietnam in gathering the required three Purple Heart medals to send his cowardly ass home. Going so far as to put himself in for the award after shooting himself in the ass with an RPG (I'm not kidding) and going to the medics to have a tiny sliver taken out of his arm which didn't even require a band aid.

But this is what you expect from someone who has made a career out of marrying rich widows.

The poster boy for cowards, giggalos, Canadians and leftists everywhere.

[sillydaddy]

Kerry has as much love for this country as Obama does....

no wonder they get along so well....

[johnforbes]

Trying to defend Kerry's disgraceful testimony in the 1970s isn't parsing.

It is simply dishonest.
