Kerry has become quite the hero in Tehran. I wonder if we’ll soon see him sitting on a gallery of centrifuges, Fonda-like. This from Tehran’s FARS News Agency:

Kerry Backs Up Iran’s N. Rights
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Former US presidential nominee John Kerry voiced full support for the Islamic Republic’s right to use civilian nuclear technology on the basis of the rules and regulations of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NTP).
Addressing a world Economic Forum meeting in Davos Switzerland on Saturday, Kerry also strongly rejected West’s demanded prerequisites for the resumption of nuclear talks with Iran. 

Kerry, whose remarks followed a speech by Iran’s former President Seyed Mohammad Khatami, stated his support for Khatami’s views, and said Americans find out - only when they are outside their country - that the world is different from what they imagine. 

"We should give up pessimism and pick up a realistic view,” he said, and further stressed the need for the US to change its policies towards the world countries and issues. 

The US politician also approved of Khatami’s views about increased tension and violence in the world, and concluded, “As Mr. Khatami said, violence increased in the region after the occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq and Bin Ladenism.”

This lying, cowardly, traitor should be denied re-entry into the United States. Aside from his continued aid and comfort to enemies of America since 1971, he continues to claim that America is much worse than any other place in the world. He should be accommodated in his wish to live elsewhere. 

There is a monument to Benedict Arnold’s leg at Saratoga, where Arnold was a legitimate hero and sustained a serious wound to his left leg. I’m pretty sure that no one will ever erect a monument to any part of John Kerry’s body. To be fair to Kerry, though, he never engaged in a naked commercial transaction to turn a key military installation over to the enemy in time of war, as Arnold did.
No, he just tried to turn our whole country over to rule by the UN and his French cousins.
Invading Iraq was the right policy...carried out by a collection of clowns who have so messed it up that we ARE going to lose.
I’m glad to see you agree that invading Iraq was the right policy. The problem we are having is implementing the idea of creating a representative democracy in that country and making it stick. The government there is, so far, ineffectual in carrying out the Iraqi people’s mandate for such a government as expressed in popular elections. And, the “insurgency” is, of course, the destabilizing factor.
That brings us to the “collection of clowns”. Not since the Revolutionary War has this country fought an insurgency-driven war. Ironically, in that war we were the insurgents and Great Britain the defenders. It was not until George Washington realized that fighting the Brits on their terms was going nowhere and instituted true insurgent tactics at Trenton. The Brits failed to adapt and their defense of their colony soon collapsed. In Iraq, we have adapted.
None of the “collection of clowns” was experienced in insurgency tactics which developed in Iraq. The learning curve, however, has been steep with comparatively low casualties. The recently announced strategy with Petraeus in command has an excellent chance of success if the Iraqi government lives up to its commitments and Iranian interference is stopped.
But there is another factor at work - the gasbags in the Congress who constantly give aid and comfort to the insurgency with their widely broadcast criticisms and threats of abandonment of the effort. Especially galling are the ones like Webb and Murtha who insist on waving their medals (and their fathers’ medals) around and claiming that they have special insights on strategy. Frogfeathers. The only insights they have, in spite of the particular actions they participated in, is that war is - as Sherman put it - Hell. Strategy was way above their pay grade then and still is now.
As in Vietnam, a winnable war in Iraq could be lost if a president loses resolve and gives in to self-aggrandizing politicians of which we have plenty. This President has the resolve and this war WILL be won. His place in history will be determined in the future, not by us.
Do you think that, in a search for political relevancy (and meaning), Kerry might accept a position of authority with another, international politcial organization..?

Vet, I would add that the rules of engagement hinder us, and I have a real case against the press for holding men and women in combat to standards better suited to civilians.

are you seriously calling Kerry a traitor?
you’re joking, right?
Hmm. You’re not exactly a perceptive reader, sarfatti. I think I said about as clearly as one possibly could that Arnold was a traitor, and Kerry wasn’t. Kerry is just a pretentious fool who has damaged our national security because of his self-absorption, dishonesty and low intellect.

thanks for the compliment!
I was confused by your tying Benedict Arnold and Kerry together in the same post
it must have been because they both served in the military
