Kerry’s credibility problems
As they say, the bloom is off the rose at the Washington Post when they let Marc Thiessen, former Bush speechwriter beat up John Kerry like this;
When John Kerry ran for president in 2004, he dismissed the allies fighting alongside the United States in Iraq as a “trumped-up, so-called coalition of the bribed, the coerced, the bought and the extorted.”
Now, as secretary of state, Kerry is going hat-in-hand to many of the same nations he insulted, asking them to join a U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.
[…]
Kerry mocked the contributions of smaller nations, declaring “When they talk about a coalition, that’s the phoniest thing I ever heard. You’ve got 500 troops here, 500 troops there.” Never mind he’s now working for a president who just used a prime-time address to announce that he is deploying — wait for it — 475 troops to Iraq (but insists they will not have a “combat role”).
Yeah, his State Department spokesperson won’t name the countries that make up his 40-country coalition and he’s only named two in public, so I’m sure this will be epic. From CNN;
Just hours after an ISIL spokesman called on the group’s foreign fighters to carry out attacks on coalition countries led by the United States in the battle against the terrorist group, a senior Obama administration official warned the international community is not prepared to respond to such threats.
“We’re not structured that way effectively right now” to respond to that kind of call, the official said.
But, I’m sure John Kerry can pull them together, especially since his 2004 presidential campaign revolved around the fact that they were useless. As time goes by, we get to see how big that bullet was that we dodged ten years ago.

Well apparently you CAN NOT take the traitor out of the asshat nor the asshat out of the traitor….
Thanks to the lack of credible experience from the POTUS decisions are made to appoint people who are incompetent but represent no threat to the policies of the POTUS.
A gigolo makes a perfect secretary of state when the only purpose of the secretary is to be another mouthpiece for his master. Not such a great choice when there is an actual crisis at hand because no one is worse in a crisis than a perfumed turd of a gigolo from the PRoM.
Okay, show of hands – knowing what we know now, who would’ve voted for Ross Perot had he ran in the last election???
C’mon, don’t be shy…
Depends. Who would Perot have replaced on the ballot?
If Kerry said… Pretty much anything, I’d be using my Google-fu to check.
Pal of mine actually served with him in The Old Days.
I wish this was funny, but it ain’t
If Kerry told me the sky was blue, I’d go outside and check for myself.
Was that part of his climate change spiel a couple days ago? He says so much, it turns to mush in the ol nogging. Oh wait, what he says is mush, no wonder.
And so, John sKerry is out for a ride on his fancy, new pink bicycle awarded to him by his sin twisters from CODEPink, grinning and waving at everybody he thinks sees him and blows a red light.
An NPS bicycle patrol pulls him to the curb, asks why he ran the red light and delivers the usual traffic safety speech. sKerry feeling like the scorned child he is, starts to flip the cop then stops midway…
Cop catches it, smiles and says “Hey! Why the long face”?.
“Kerry’s credibility problems” – can’t have a problem with something you don’t have, can you?
The same clown that couldn’t build a paper coalition for an unbelievably small airstrike.
B. Hussein 0bama & Company-
Worst. Administration. Ever.
Not worth a whole new post, but worth mentioning;
ISIS urges Muslims to ‘kill disbelievers’ and calls Secretary of State John Kerry an ‘old uncircumcised geezer’ in latest audio release
TMI, pass me the mindbleach please.
“Uncircumcised”? How would ISIS know about that one way or another?
May we just take their word for it, please?
Just when I thought that there was NOTHING I would ever agree with from the mouths of ISIS…..
How can Lurch have a credibility problem, he never had any to begin with.
Since when HASN’T John “Lurch” Kerry been a 24K attention whore at any point in his adult life?
