Kerry sees ISIS genocide
The Associated Press reports that John Kerry our Secretary of State is set to announce that which we all know – that ISIS is committing genocide in Syria and Iraq;
Kerry’s finding, set to be announced Thursday, will not obligate the United States to take additional action against IS militants and does not prejudge any prosecution against its members, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly preview Kerry’s decision.
A day after the State Department said Kerry would miss the March 17 deadline, the officials said Kerry had completed his review and determined that Christians, Yazidis and Shiite groups are victims of genocide. The House this week passed a nonbinding resolution by a 393-0 vote condemning IS atrocities as genocide.
Apparently, Kerry’s report will trigger a tersely-worded letter from the UN. The last tiem this happened was in 2004 when Colin Powell determined that there was genocide being committed in Darfur – that disaster came to a screeching halt, didn’t it? What? It didn’t? Oh, well.
n that case, the lawyers decided that the 1948 U.N. Convention against genocide did not require countries to prevent genocide from taking place outside their territory. Powell instead called for the U.N. Security Council to appoint a commission to investigate and take appropriate legal action if it agreed with the genocide determination.
I’m sure this time will be different.
His determination, however, does not carry the legal implication of a verdict of guilt or conviction on genocide charges, the officials said. Such decisions will be left to international or other tribunals.
ISIS will immediately recognize that what they’re doing is wrong and stop murdering innocent people so they don’t get on John Kerry’s wrong side.

Took him – and his boss – long enough to buy a clue.
John Kerry to ISIS:
You mean ISIS to kerry; kerry is the nitwit running around without a clue as the other side mocks him 😉
“Kerry sees ISIS genocide”
I wish it were up close and personal. That would give me the warm-and-fuzzies all over.
He would only do it if he could get a Purple Heart out of it. Or maybe an ARCOM
That would work. . . . posthumously. . .
Stevie Wonder, Ronnie Milsap, Jose Feliciano, and Ray Charles could see this as genocide. Glad sKerry finally pulled his head out and wiped the poop out of his eyes.
sKerry says ISIS commits genocide?
It’s amazing that the harsh reality of the Middle East takes such a long time to filter through to his remaining active brain cells.
Is he going to do a desert walk with a cameraman, or something?
I don’t know about including any Muslim sect, branch, denomination, or whatever they are called. “Yeah, but they committed genocide first!”
“The Christians are being openly killed.”
“So?”
“So, we should at least officially acknowledge that, don’t you think?”
“Um. Okay. I made some calls. We can do that if it’s not just the Christians. That would look bad. We’ll throw in the Shi’ites.”
“Good. Great! I’ll draft the release.”
What’s “Lurch” Kerry gonna do now, fling his medals over a fence at them (Or maybe a friend’s medals)?
Those “tersely worded letters” are ever so effective in frightening the likes of those who commit mass murder on a regular basis.
So Kerry sees genocide in ISIS. Really! Who knew?
He’s a shit stain and I have always believed he’s a member of the stolen valor or at least, the manipulated valor dip shit club.
They must be about finished for him to see it and finally acknowledge it. He simply could not bring himself to admit it while there was something he could actually do about it.
This is the natural result for the loons who equate talking about something equivalent with doing something.
Wow, Thank God Lurch and company figured that out for us. I was totally unsure, what with ISIS straight up murdering everyone like they are.
Yep jerry whoda thunk it. Thank God for sKerry.
it figure’s are glorious SOS rides a pink girl’s bike with balloon tires, that must strike fear in our nations enemies, wonder what Putin thinks about that, too….or is he just showing the world his sensitive feminine side ????????WTF over
He left out a few of the minority groups, like the Druze, that I can think of off the top of my head. There are many ethnic and religious minorities in Syria and they’ve all been impacted by the genocide that’s happening right now. Kerry is such a dipshit.
