Its always great to hear old radicals reminiscing about the time they helped undermine America. Its even better when they have risen to become Secretary of State. With Kerry, America has its own version of Joschka Fischer. The problem is that America didnt need a Joschka Fischer or a Joschka Kerry.
Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking at the General Assembly of the Organization of American States in Guatemala on Wednesday, reminisced about his first trip to Latin America as a U.S. senator back in 1985:
I have been traveling, actually, to Latin America for decades now. I think the first trip I made as a United States senator in 1985 was to this region. And that was during a time of great transformation and challenge in places like Nicaragua and El Salvador. And like my Senate colleagues, I was then focused on issues of conflict resolution.
By issues of conflict resolution, Kerry means he tried to stop President Reagan from aiding the rebels against the Communist regime by falsely claiming that the Sandinistas werent Communists and were willing to live in peace with us as long as we stopped aiding the Contras.

Senator Kerry flew to Nicaragua in April with fellow Democratic Sen. Thomas Harkin of Iowa, met with Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega Saavedra, and brought back word that Mr. Ortega would be willing to accept a cease-fire if Congress rejected aid to the rebels, or contras. That week the House initially voted down aid to the contras, and Mr. Ortega made an immediate trip to Moscow an action that moved House Speaker Thomas P. ONeill Jr. to say the ill-timed trip embarrassed those who had voted against aid.

Wasn’t he a war hero with three purple hearts?
He must of killed hundreds of VC (’Those stinkin Cong’) to get those.
Reminds me of John Wayne in the Green Berets.
Hanoi Heinz
“He must of killed hundreds of VC”
But not in a manner reminiscent of Jenjisssss Kahn...
Skerry is a feckless traitorous punk.
He could only aspire to such heights.
Yep, Ortega’s pal Kerry was a stone cold commie-killing warrior.
He was the secret motivation behind the Rambo movies.
I woke up with rice in my hindquarters and
just like that I got a purple heart.
By the way, I don’t know who that smiling skank in the picture is.
United States Secretary of State, John Kerry Fondly Reminisces About Time He Aided Communist Guerrillas
Thanks, Fractal Trader.
He was like a junkyard dog. Couldn’t get his fill of killing those Cong.
how about the time you shot a fleeing teenage boy in the back, Kerry?
I hope you have nightmares over that
Beccha he was wearin’ his CIA hat.
He’s not only a man without a country, he’s a man without a real identity and he was never vetted for his job, the most important job in all of America.
Oops, I was thinking of Obama, but Kerry is is no statesman. When he tried to moor his boat in another state to avoid paying taxes, he showed the true depth of his lack of integrity.
