Speaking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, the US secretary of state says his time served in Vietnam helped motivate him to seek a deal with Iran over their nuclear program. ‘[Vietnam] was a war in which too many of my friends died, under circumstances that might have been averted had different choices been made by people in positions of responsibility,’ Kerry said

if you added up all the times that FPOS said "when i was in Vietnam", it would be longer than the time it actually SPENT in Vietnam

How can you call it a deal when one side has no intention of keeping it?

Yes. Those thoughts of treason and betrayal of America from so long ago made him pine for something to remind him of his youth.

How I detest that execrable, detestable piece of crap.

If he actually has come to believe them (self-told stories of his heroics) he is delusional.

Make sense. He has fond memories of his treason in 1971.

Oxford Dictionary lists one definition of deal as:

“1.an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, especially in a business or political context:”

Where is the mutual benefit?

Last time I checked, the VC didn’t have nukes, and weren’t pursuing them. And politicians, a lot like Kerry, were micro managing the war, and screwed the pooch and a whole lot of our guys.

John Kerry has handed nuclear weapons and $150B to a terrorist regim who wants nothing more than the complete and utter destruction of the west. And Israel.

F$&k John Kerry and Zero.

John Effing Kerry, a hero in Vietnam for the Commie pinko bastards. IMHO he is not worthy to lick the dog crap off the bottom of the boots from my friends who died in Vietnam.

A worthless POS.

John Kerry should be court-martialed for high treason, and then hung from the neck until dead.

Colbert has always been and remains a Democratic runt. It is perfectly consistent with Kerry’s pompous narcissism that he envisions his role in arming the lunatic medieval mullahs with nuclear weapons is a positive accomplishment.
