For New Year’s, of course. You can’t commit multiple rape and assault without rockets.

Why do we need so many rockets? Mr. Kerry, they are...not ‘Rockets’ in the way you Americans expect to see them, these pieces are being reimaged, reutilized, as clocks and sculptures of clocks. In fact, we may change the capitol city into a Clock Museum, open by appointment only.

Hezbollah “ignorance” equals hate for Israel and general Islamo-fascist pandering.

When you have dangerously naive and stupid individuals supposedly leading this country who see the world through rose colored pro-Islamic glasses you are left clueless as to why you are outfoxed at every turn.
To say that President Ovomit and John Curry have a grasp on reality is to say that the Iran deal is good for America and the West. We are in Munich 1938 and quickly approaching a very bad era thanks to APPEASSMENT.
They don't have a clue while Russia, Iran, North Korea, Hizbollah and so many other enemies laugh their rear ends off.
In 2008 Putin must have wet himself and cried from laughter when he got the word that a two-bit, community organizer would now be leading the once most powerful nation in the world. He is still wetting himself but less so now as he gets down tot he business of humiliating the USA.

John Kerry never was the sharpest bowling ball on the rack.

The 10th Amendment looms large when considering any Democrat (and too many Republicans).

Dear John Kerry:

Just like their state sponsor, Iran and its need for nukes, Hezbollah needs 80,000 rockets for peaceful purposes. Is that clear enough?

I don’t mean to be rude, but your headline is five words too long.

For a guy who survived in Vietnam (for a while), he sure didn’t learn anything about military tactics, even after the Tet Offensive, and later the Easter Offensive where rockets, mortars and long range artillery played a major role in those offensives.

In fact, for the Easter Offensive, I’ve seen a claim that the No. Vietnamese had 1,000 long range artillery pieces that they used to open up their offensive before NVA regulars crossed the DMZ to attack Quang Tri Province.

This number is very similar to the number of guns the Red Army used in their counteroffensive against the Germans in 1944. 1,000 artillery pieces can punch a helluva lot of holes in an Army that is massed.

Now, add Hezbollah’s reported 80,000 rockets to that of Hamas (around 100,000 estimate) and any that Fatah/other factions have, and they can hit Israel from two directions with saturation fire against both military and civilian targets (including cities).

Now, Kerry served in Vietnam (forget his non-existent secret mission to Cambodia in Christmas 1968), has been a member of the Senate for too long, ran for the presidency, and is now the Secy of State, and yet he remains the stupidest man to ever hold the congressional and SecyState positions (even worst than Warren Christopher, Cyrus Vance, and the Carter clowns, as well as some of Bill Clinton’s idiots).

Where I come from, in a war or preparation for a war, “you do the math” regarding enemy capabilities, those capabilities which reveal their overall attack strategies.

To Kerry, 80,000 plus 100,000 equals “Duh, I don’t know what they need that many rockets”.

Some stupidity can never be unstuck!

A couple of things:
1. Yes, John Kerry is in over his head, but the man is not without talent. Some of his talents include: stabbing the US in the back for personal gain, marrying rich women, having a commanding voice, and having the hair of a 20-year old. However, its clear that none of his talents are intellectual in nature.
2. This article seems to imply that it’s a good thing for Hezbollah to possess 80K rockets. It is not—at least from the perspective of anyone who opposes Islamic terrorism. We could argue which is worse (Hezbollah or ISIS); ISIS is probably technically worse, but they both suck and are extremely dangerous. In a perfect world, they would be armed with nothing but water guns.
3. Assad sucks too, but (in hindsight) he is probably better than ISIS.
4. While the author seems to “understand” why Hezbollah has 80K rockets, he seems hostile to the fact that Israel has an efficient military. I suspect he is playing to the Jew haters, which many people on Zero Hedge seem to be.

It’s just a little quirk of theirs, John. They like firworks; it’s part of their culture. Otherwise, they are OK, and equal partners in the Peace Process. /S

One thing about GWB—he started down the Peace Process path, too, as they all do, but quickly saw what impossible a-holes the Palis were and modified his stance.

They need 80,000 rockets to fight hate speech, islamophobia and intolerance, John - try that, it’ll certainly work for the WaPo and NYT readers up in the Beltway
