Ambassador Kennedy Chides China's Move to Create Air Zone
WPRO 630 News (ABC) ^ | Nov 28, 2013 | Staff

The new U.S. ambassador to Japan has weighed in on escalating tensions between China and Japan over the East China Sea.

On Wednesday, Caroline Kennedy criticized China's recent move to create its own Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which requires that all aircraft notify Chinese authorities before entering the airspace.

"Unilateral actions like those taken by China with their announcement of an East China Sea Air-to-Sea Identification Zone undermines security and constitutes an attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea. This only serves to increase tension in the region," the ambassador said.

The new ADIZ includes disputed islands claimed by both China and Japan. On Tuesday, the U.S. flew two unarmed B-52 bombers there -- a move some say was a show of force in support of Japan.

Don't you feel great knowing that a know-nothing Manhattan socialite, who has accomplished nothing, outside of being born to famous people, is on the job?

Yet again, a big "THANKS FOR NOTHING" to President Jarrett.

I suspect her appointment is what has emboldened China to take this action!

I’m curious. Who has the lower IQ—John Kerry or Caroline Kennedy? Anybody have the numbers?

Wonder how many "ya know's" they had to edit out of that quote.

State Department lackey rushes up to Kennedy: "Here, Madame Ambassador! I wrote this statement for you!"

Kennedy: "Um, y'know, like, what IS this, I don't y'know, read Japanese or, something!"

[Another aide looks at the paper] "Sorry, Madame Ambassador, we'll type it up for you." [hands the paper back to the lackey] "Idiot! She can't read cursive!"

I imagine there will be more provocations overseas because of Obama’s weakened status too.

That quote had to be read off a cue card or prompter. If you’ve ever heard her speak before...it doesn’t get any more painful this side of hell.

I bet Caroline would win at a corn on the cob eating contest. Ambassadorshipping? Not so much.
