Kerry has an amazing inability to frame a clear and concise English sentence. Maybe this is just "Senate-Speak." However, after struggling through this crap, I DID manage to find one simple, delcaratory sentence from Kerry:

The problem here is that he is pissing off the POW advocates by speaking around the issue and trying to focus on trade.

He can't go out and say that he doesn't really care that much and wants normalization now, so he speaks in circles and acts very defensive.
