Kerry Tells Colbert: 'Memories of Vietnam Made Me Seek Iran Deal' – Video

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

What are his ratings? Does anyone know? I watched a couple minutes and the guy is so smarmy he is insufferable. I had to turn it off.

There're rumors of a Nobel Peace Prize in the works for Lurch.

What can I say, you already know their standards.

They are etched on his memory and his magic CIA cap from Cambodia on Christmas Day 1968 (when Nixon had been surreptitiously inserted into office a month early)

He has flash backs of Jen-jis Kahn and his Golden Hoard coming at him across the rice paddies. Oh. the horror!

They will not launch nukes until after Barry leaves office. The benefit is to His legacy. Not the USA for sure

I’m sorry. Was John Kerry in Vietnam?

Yes! Brian Williams will vouch for him!

I think that's a doctored photo.

Viet Cong fans Kerry and Fonda both spoke at that rally, but were not at the podium at the same time. That photo is a combination of two others.

"Fake but true" I suppose.

I guess it’s time for someone to haul out those old Swiftboat videos.

The only thing holding up co-Peace Prizes for Lurch and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif is that Kerry’s daughter married an Iranian and the groom’s best man was this Zarif’s son. In other words Kerry and this Persian piss-ant are practically brothers-in-law.

I don’t see how that should concern the less than discerning Nobel committee, but it sure as H explains why Kerry sold out his country (again).

http://freebeacon.com/national-security/nobel-prize-rumors-put-focus-on-kerry-iran-coziness/

What? Oh, I hear that Snopes “knocked down” the vicious rumor about the wedding. Zarif supposedly was not the best man, and was allegedly not even at the wedding. Hum..but the story is just too juicy to ignore.

And why did Lurch go around always saying inshAllah (Allah willing) instead of American “God willing” all the time at the Talks.

Does anyone actually buy this?

I think he has two daughters, and a wife who's fond of gin-infused raisins.

That's three. And any Mass political hack, but they're too numerous to count.

He meant to say his memories after coming home and working for the communists as an “anti-war” activist.

And this is from a man who fraudulently worked on his getting out of VN (3 fake Purple Hearts), abandoned one of his Swift Boat passengers who fell overboard, lied about being under “5000 meters of small and heavy arms fire” on the Bay Hap River (None, no bullet holes, casualties, etc), killed two SVN civilians on a fishing boat and covered it up, probably tampered with his AAR’s (After Action Reports) to make himself look like a hero, took the credit for successful operations by leaving out other Swift Boats and covering craft from official reports, and later meeting with the enemy in Paris at least twice, if not three times.

In other words, his cowardice and treason made him work out another treasonous affair with Iran.

Add in to this his attempted betrayal of the freedom fighters in Nicaragua by supporting the Sandinistas in 1984-85, and you have a consistently pro-communist, self-serving, narcisstic traitor.

Did I leave out anything?

Re “Time to Swift Boat Joan Kerrieee, again”? Well, some of us are still around and more than willing to nail this lying traitor to the wall.

I worked on the book “Unfit for Command”. Now “I’m reporting for duty”.

Still waiting for Kerry’s complete Form 215 or whatever he’s still hiding from us including a possible court martial or some kind of military administrative action against him.
