United States Secretary of State John Kerry insisted on Sunday that concrete progress has been made in peace talks between Israelis and the Palestinian Authority (PA), but said details will be kept under wraps, AFP reports.

Kerry, who has made nine trips to the Middle East since March and helped launch nine-month direct talks between the two sides in July, said talking about any agreements could be counterproductive.

"I'm personally encouraged that very tough issues are beginning to take shape," he was quoted as having said in an interview with ABC's "This Week."

Kerry, who is only showing one hand in the A7 picture, is busy spanking his monkey with the other.

Pick up the Secy of State. Throw him as far as you can. Measure how far he flew. Trust him that much.

He’s all monkey. If you give John Kerry Viagra, he flushes red and stands up taller and straighter.

[Eleutheria5]

Well, he needs to spank himself, then.

If Kerry is encouraged, I’m discouraged.

"...if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."-J.F. Kerry

"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":

"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."

There’s always “progress” when you capitulate to your enemies. It’s called giving ground, retreating, appeasement. Guess what, this does not lead to winning.

Watch out. He’ll start banging his head against the wall, and then the plaster will get all over the rug.
