The best way to let Obama know that John Kerry is unacceptable as a candidate of SecDef, is the simple message that “The Pentagon will be unable to insure the safety of senator Kerry”.
When Clinton was POTUS, the Pentagon advised him that at least a dozen major installations and ships could not guarantee his safety were he to visit them. He took the hint.
But Kerry is much, much worse. He is regarded as a traitor to the United States and his comrades in arms, a person who gave aid and comfort to the enemy, while falsely accusing honorable military personnel of being war criminals, in sworn testimony before congress.
In effect, he is the last unrepentant enemy soldier of the Vietnam War, and no enlisted person or officer sworn to protect and defend the constitution of the United States will be able to abide their oath and work for him.
“The Pentagon will be unable to insure the safety of senator Kerry”.

Oh, goody! This Susan Rice??? Look for us to go FULL bore on turning our backs on Israel....
Susan Rice Israel’s enemy Osamas friend
Susan Rice was John Kerry’s chief foreign policy adviser when he ran for President. One of the major steps Kerry suggested for dealing with the Middle East was to appoint James Baker and Jimmy Carter as negotiators. When furor erupted at the prospect of two of the most ardent foes of Israel being suggested to basically ride “roughshod” over Israel, Kerry backtracked and blamed his staff for the idea. His staff was Susan Rice

However, Obama’s foreign policy choices have raised a few eyebrows. It has included, in the past and present: Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter and considered to be the Democrats’ hawkish version of Henry Kissinger; Samantha Power, Harvard Professor and Obama’s former Senior Foreign Policy advisor; and former Kerry and Clinton advisor Susan Rice. All of these individuals appear to have at least one thing in common: disillusionment with America’s unhesitating financial and military support for Israel and a willingness to put real pressure on Israel to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. Their presence may signal an upcoming Israel policy shift under the Obama administration.
...Dr. Susan Rice, a fellow-on-leave from the Brookings Institution and Obama’s current chief foreign policy advisor, was blasted in 2004 while she was an advisor to Kerry for suggesting that Jimmy Carter and James Baker be appointed as negotiators between Israel and Palestine. When critics slammed Kerry on the grounds that both men had been unfriendly to Israel (Carter has called it an “Apartheid State”), he publicly retracted the suggestion and blamed the idea on his “staff.”

She is a good friend of Osama. Stopped him from getting arrested before 9-11
The same can’t be said of Rice, however, at least according to several of her former colleagues, who say she deserves a hefty portion of blame for the fact that Osama bin Laden wasn’t neutralized during the 1990s.
“The FBI, in 1996 and 1997, had their efforts to look at terrorism data and deal with the bin Laden issue overruled every single time by the State Department, by Susan Rice and her cronies, who were hell-bent on destroying the Sudan,” one-time Clinton diplomatic troubleshooter Mansoor Ijaz told radio host Sean Hannity in 2002.
Richard Miniter, author of the book “Losing bin Laden,” concurred, saying Rice played a key role in scuttling the deal that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
In November 2003, Miniter told World Magazine that while Sudan was anxious to turn bin Laden over to the U.S., Rice - then a member of Clinton’s National Security Council - questioned Khartoum’s credibility.
“Rice [cited] the suffering of Christians [in Sudan] as one reason that she doubted the integrity of the Sudanese offers,” said Miniter. “But her analysis largely overlooked the view of U.S. Ambassador to Sudan Tim Carney, who argued for calling Khartoum’s bluff.”
Ambassador Rice’s only distinction was participating in a lying campaign to the American people.
I read all the posts, and no one thought to breach the subject of just who would be appointed Senator in his place.
Can you say the word “Kennedy”?
I knew you could!
I may be ill...
Hey, was that thunder I just heard or was that Tonk hearing the news in Heaven?
Why not? Last Tuesday proved Americans love being lied to.
Boo-Boo Kerry?
If I was in the military, I'd seriously reconsider my profession. First, they will not rescue you if you pose an electoral problem and the man who is your immediate boss and his boss will turn you in for made up war crimes to the UN.
Send in the Clowns. Rice’s Senate hearing would be a hoot.
How ironic.....
Going from tossing your medals and trashing the military to running it.... (WTF is happening to us?!?!??!?!?!)
The man who threw his dog tags over the capitol fence...the man who protested the vietnam war....the man who he appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs where he deemed United States war policy in Vietnam to be the cause of “war crimes”.
Screw you John Kerry you’re not fit to be dog warden long enuff sec of defense....you turned ur back on this country..
We had a president who protested the Viet Nam war in Europe. Now we’ll have a phony Purple Heart winner protester as SOD.
It just keeps getting worse and worse.
I crack me up.

Three words: Senate Confirmation Hearings
Three more words: Remember John Tower
The pubbies should mercilessly grill Jeanne Querrie over his slanderous testimony against his fellow troops about Vietnam. They should demand that he release his military records. Then they should summarily declare him unfit for duty and promise to filibuster any attempt to confirm him.
