One of the larger drawbacks to having John Kerry as secretary of state is his inane statements now have worldwide impact, instead of being limited to a domestic audience as was the case previously.
Even worse, what he says now can cause real damage, while as a senator Kerrys bloviating was relatively harmless since he was part of large collection of publicity-seeking bloviators.
Kerrys latest occurred last Sunday when he compared the jihadists trying to break Israels Gaza blockade aboard the Mavi Marmara with the victims of the Boston bombing. ....
Israeli commandos were lowered to the deck from a helicopter as they were allowed to do under international law. As the commandos touched down, they were attacked and captured by the Islamists waiting in ambush. Nine jihadists were killed during the ensuing battle to rescue the commandos.
Kerry said the Boston Marathon finish line bombing made him acutely aware of the emotions felt by the families of the nine Turks who died during the rescue. This is moral equivalence at its most offensive. .....
The Americans at the finish line of the marathon were peaceably assembled to watch friends and loved ones finish a foot race. The Turks on the Mavi Marmara were armed and lying in wait to attack Israelis sent to inspect the ship.
The victims in Boston were killed by cowardly terrorists who planted bombs among unsuspecting spectators. The jihadists on the ship died after their attack backfired and the Israelis rescued their comrades. On one hand you have unwilling participants in a terror attack who paid with their lives. On the other, you have willing attackers who died when their ambush failed.
There was indeed one similarity completely missed by the oblivious Kerry: both incidents and all deaths were the result of Islamist attacks.

Absolutely the person Obama was wishing for.
Let's face it, Obama proves he's not up to HIS JOB. Yet he still got reelected.
John Kerry-Heinz was put in that job to make Mrs. Slick Willy’s failed tenure look good. The only other person that could do that would be Slow Joe.
Yea,someone even more inept than he is.
Are there folks still presuming that Obama has any interest in advancing the true interests of America?
He WANTS the country to fail!
And the last one was?
Kakistocrisy
- government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.
Yeah, you’re right. What was I thinking..... /facepalm
Michael Reagan is dead on the money when he says Lurch is not up to his job, but he has never been, since Vietnam he has been a liar for his own benefit.
Yeah he got re-elected but only by the 47 million who he is feeding and providing cell phones to? And of course about 90% of the blacks who do what they are told. And 95% of the hispanics who long for free citizenship. And all of the gays who hope that perversion is eventually normalized. And add a majority of the catholics who just value their socialist agenda over abortion. Oh yeah, and add a bit of voter fraud just for seasoning.
With all of those groups in the pocket of the democrat party, any clown who comes forth to assume the office in 2016 (even Hillary the jilted do-nothing has been) will be a shoe in for our next leader. Who knows, maybe heir BHO might just stay. I would like to see a poll of people who would agree with that!!!!!
That’s because Kerry said that in Istanbul, Turkey.
Hey, that is really good. You are very talented.
Would you expect anything less? Fie on the idiots that confirmed his appointment.
Thank you. Lol, I hope you see some of my other ones because I merely animated an existing cartoon on that one.
What’s his pay grade?
