When Kerry appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday to defend the Iran nuclear agreement, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) asked him about Tehran’s policy in the light of the “death to America” chants common at events presided over by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hasan Rouhani.

I guess the ‘Death to America’ chants weren’t succinct enough for the esteemed Secretary.

Well, by that logic, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 never happened, simply because the SecState did not have knowledge of it.

SSDD.

In his long quest to help Islamic terrorists,
Kerry ignored warnings BEFORE the 911 Atrocity
and then helped found the terrorist mosque
that led to the Boston Atrocity.

Oh, well if they don’t have a specific plan to destroy the continental US, that they have let us know about, then they must be Ok. Kerry is whacking at a straw man.

This isn’t some movie where the villain is contractually obligated to spell every part of the evil master plan, reveal the fatal flaw and monologue about how great it is.
