Is Secretary Kerry Reinventing the Middle East?
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/28/15 | Yoram Ettinger

Legitimizes and rewards Mahmoud Abbas' hate-education and incitement - which must be uprooted as a prerequisite to real, durable peace--and therefore indirectly fuels Palestinian terrorism

Secretary of State John Kerry’s November 24, 2015 visit to Jerusalem confirmed his determination to reinvent “the energetic, youthful and forward looking Middle East” in accordance with his own worldview, irrespective of Middle East reality. Kerry recycled well-intentioned, but failed, assessments and tactics, further eroding the US posture of deterrence and US power projection among pro-US Arab countries.

On October 28, 2015, Secretary John Kerry presented his vision of US policy in the Middle East, convinced that peaceful-coexistence will surmount the inherently complex, unpredictable, violent and intolerant 14-century-old anti-US Islamic Middle East: “Just imagine a future where people from the Nile to Jordan and Euphrates are free to live and work and travel as they choose, where every boy and girl has access to quality education, where visitors are able to flock without fear.”

Reinventing as in taking it back to the sixth century?

He’s doing a great job then....

Reinventing only in his own mind.

Well intention?? I don’t believe that for a moment. Clueless is far more fitting but I lean more towards intent to do harm.

Kerry is too incompetent to invent or re-invent anything.

Did Neville Chamberlain "re-invent" Europe?

No, but he helped.

The only thing Kerry has reinvented is the concept of mental masturbation.

Kerry is not smart enough. Those that are in charge of 0 are also pulling John Hanoi Kerry’s strings.

He’s great at reinventing things. Like medals and sailing down a Cambodian river on Christmas Day and war wounds. Hey, you do know he was in Viet Nam!

I have followed foreign policy closer than most in my lifetime. There has never been an administration (even Carter - the previous benchmark for inept foreign policy) that has been more wrong than this one. Wrong for our values, wrong for our allies, and wrong for our security.

It’s stunning how bad they are and you have to blame Obama, Clinton, and Kerry. It’s been two terms of watching an epic train wreck.

Kerry isn’t ‘reinventing’ the ME. He’s returning it to its historical role as the @sshole of the world, run by filthy, perverse pashas and emirs.
