Kerry Says Admin Won’t Destroy ISIL SATIRE
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 14 March 2015 | John Semmens

Secretary of State John Kerry boasted that “we have the capacity to knock out ISIL, but we’re not going to do it. Eliminating these murderous thugs is not part of the President’s vision for the transformation of America.”

By way of explanation, Kerry pointed out that “in the movies, Lex Luthor is a vile criminal, yet Superman never kills him. Why? It’s because there needs to be a balance between good and evil. The same thing can be said for how we respond to ISIL. Wiping them out risks upsetting the balance between good and evil. We need them as much as they need us to continue the cosmic battle between contending forces that we call ‘history.’”

Kerry contrasted the “simplistic call for victory over terrorism to the President’s more nuanced understanding. Those who have been paying attention will note that President Obama repeatedly calls for ‘degrading ISIL’s capabilities.’ He hasn’t called for their defeat or annihilation. He has the sophistication to grasp the truth that eludes his critics—evil will never be vanquished. It’s a fundamental part of the human condition. All we can do is try to weaken it, contain it, and learn to live with it.”

I am a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name".

He will let them go their ways as long as they continue to flavor their food with halal Heinz Ketchup.

I really don't see how this is satire. I don't think the Obungler has any intention of knocking out ISIL, ISIS, whatever they are called.

Who says it has to satire to be true ?
Sometimes satire reveals more truth than the lies we are told by the Main Stream Media, MSM MORE SATAN MEDIA.
