SECRETARY KERRY: Well, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Secretary-General, colleagues, all. Before I address the priorities of the OSCE, let me just, first of all, say thank you to Sergey for his condolences to the American people regarding the events, and I want to express my personal condolences to the families of the victims of yesterday’s shooting in San Bernardino, California.....

And my friends, all you have to do is listen to that list and you understand that a year ago President Obama said we were at war with Daesh. Recently, President Hollande said we are at war with Daesh. And we are. We need to act like that in every respect in the choices that we make for our governments.

We are determined together to defeat Daesh. We have to defeat Daesh. There’s no negotiation. There’s nothing to negotiate about with people who license the rape of women not just as an instrument of war, which we have tragically seen in the past, but who license it as a daily matter of how you should live – who say that that rape of a non-Muslim woman is in fact a form of prayer, it’s an expression of the will of God. And all of us know the lie of such a statement.

Soooo, Kerry is telling the world that San Bernadino was terrorism by ISIS, Daesh, whatever, but Obama will not tell the American people that. I wonder why?

[Thank You Rush]

Those idiots sure do have a hard time settling on just what they’re going to call that bunch of murderous thugs.... Every day, a new name! Hey, dummy - let’s just call them what they are - murdering beasts. ISIS works for most of us so knock it off!

[Thank You Rush]

Good grief - is anyone left awake when this blowhard gets finished with his platitudes?

He’s talking in several countries about the terrorism/ violence all the countries have experienced yet his boss believes that it only happens in the U.S.

They’re trying to find ground forces? Who woulda’ thunk it?
What a great American war hero with all the answers.

“”But let me just say to everybody that I think we know it, that without the ability to find some ground forces that are prepared to take on Daesh, this will not be won completely from the air, and we know that””
