John Kerry: U.S. 'On The Road' To Defeating ISIL By JONATHAN TOPAZ 2/8/15 Secretary of State John Kerry is defending the administration’s progress in its fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, saying the U.S. is “on the road” to defeating the terrorist group. In an interview airing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Kerry urged patience in what he called a long-term mission. Story Continued Below

Asked by host Chuck Todd whether the U.S.-led coalition is winning in its goal of degrading and destroying ISIL, Kerry said: “I believe we are on the road to, yes. I absolutely do.” The coalition “is strong, more committed than ever,” he said particularly with a greater commitment from Jordan, which launched stepped-up airstrikes against ISIL after a video surfaced of one of its downed pilots being burned alive in a cage.

You can’t take Hanoi Boi too seriously. The “experts” said last week that Kerry was an even worse Secretary of State than Hillary was. Kerry is the Jimmah Cahtah of all Secretaries of State.

We might be on the road to defeating ISIS, but are we traveling in the right direction? This administration seems to go the wrong direction on every issue.

All Obama had to do was leave troops in Iraq. And don't say they wouldn't let him. He didn't even try.

I'm still trying to get past the Crusades and jim crow this morning.

In the meantime, Jordan is showing Obama how it's done.

John Hanoi Kerry has been voted the worst SC ever. He started off this carrier talking with the North Viet Namese during the Viet Nam war. He has a lust for treason.

Kerry is on on the road to paying his taxes,
and shoveling his sidewalk, too.

For a guy so familiar with the exit ramp, it’s gotta be a new experience for him.

This is more damage control for the gross incompetence of the current Administration. Thank God they are wasting so much time spinning the truth. Otherwise, they would do so much more insanity if they weren't constantly interrupted.

Now that the King of Jordan is on the case I guess Kerry feels more confident. Does not say much for Obama.

I certainly believe we are, “On the road.” Unfortunately, it is going to take replacing the Obama administration with adults before we start to move on that road.

He’s not a “great liar”, just an unapologetic one.

They are “on the road” because they don’t know how to do this and never really knew how to do anything.

Amateurs, dummies, over educated under achieving libs who were at their best hanging out on a college campus with others of their kind forming committees and study groups to draft papers and fact sheets declaring how they will be solving the worlds problems.

The problem is, those forming the committees and study groups to draft papers and fact sheets produce the same flowery liberal barf they have been fed for several years and containing not a single instruction.

They are packed with “goals” and “pathways” and will run on for thousands of words and when read by a sane person, that sane person could not tell you one thing that any of it indicates to actually do or that the liberals will do, EXCEPT to form more comities and study groups to draft more papers and fact sheets, all declaring how wondrous their deeds truly are.

Being “on the road” means they are declaring their liberal view of a situation, then sitting out the clock by “studying and monitoring the situation,” then blame someone or something else if things don’t go well.
