Juggling foreign policy hotspots from Israel to Iran to Ukraine, Secretary of State John Kerry strongly defended the Obama administration’s foreign policy to Meet the Press host David Gregory, arguing that the administration had successfully used diplomacy to further peace whereas certain previous administration (a-HEM) were “trigger happy” to the point of starting wars.
“What [Obama] faces is a problem with a bunch of critics who want to jump to conclusions without looking at the facts,” Kerry said. “The facts could not be more clear. The United States of America has never been more engaged, helping to lead in more places than we are now.”

What a crock!
Diplomatic successes.

There are none.
Who is Jean Francois Kerrie calling Xigger happy?
Diplomatic successes .... like Benghazi, Iraq, Egypt, etc. ?
The Onion, right???
I’ll be proud when he and Holder are in prison
This is like Baghdad Bob claiming success in the midst of a rout.
Facts? We got plenty of facts. They’re based on reality and differ significantly from the skewed and biased facts propagated by the 0 administration.
"Tell bold lies" seems to be their main (and only) strategy.
Really? I, too, would like a concrete example of a positive outcome from his diplomatic efforts.
This from a man who represents a government that has militarized just about every bureaucracy under its control.
What is he talking about? This Obama admin have been more trigger happy than Bush admin. In fact, so much so that Obama admin is doing a lot of things unilaterally instead of with a large coalition
If fast tracking the Middle East & Russia toward Armageddon is a foreign policy success then what does Kerry call a failure? How many nations that we once had some control and handle on are now in anarchy? Libya? Egypt? Iraq? Afghanistan? and the list goes on. How many of our long time reliable alliances has this administrations arrogance alienated us from?
OdumBO got bin Laden, but, that was Bush’s fault.
skerry should resign and return to one of his homes and take care of his alcoholic wife.
This POS needs to be glued to a sheep on the border in one of his photo op costumes.
“What is he talking about?”
Beats the hell out of me! None of these people are living in reality!
