I think he is referring to Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement of Hitler and comparing it to Kerry's ambivalence (at best) about American efforts in the War on Terror. He's being ironic.

Here is the full quote for conetxt.

"We, the German Führer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again.
We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe."
“My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time...
Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

"Peace in our Time?"

That is a play on the pre WWII statement of a British Foreign minister returning from a meeting with Hitler waving a piece of paper bearing Hitler's signature saying this represents "Peace in our Time"

Of course shortly after that Hitler invades a neighboring country.

The Analogy would be that Kerry signs a piece of paper with the Mullahs of Iran and returns to the USA , stating the signed paper represents ""Peace in our Time" and pulls our troops out of IRAQ: The Mullahs hope so, see this:

WHAT IRAN WANTS
