Update: it was inevitable. Israel has apologized: Barak Ravid @BarakRavid BREAKING: Israel MoD Yaalon apologizes for his statements against SecState Kerry
Just when you thought US foreign policy under John Kerry couldn't plumb new lows, here comes Israel, mocking... John Kerry. Yaalon quoted by "Yediot Aharonot" saying: only thing that could "save" #Israel is for Kerry to win Nobel Peace Prize and "leave us alone." But it wasn't Israel's mocking of Kerry that was embarrassing: after Syria, Israel is hardly a big fan of Hillary's replacement who brought the Middle East to the verge of a YouTube clip fabricated war, and then promptly slank back to his yacht. It was the spirited White House defense. To wit from Reuters: The White House on Tuesday denounced reported comments by Israel's defense minister that were sharply critical of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. White House spokesman Jay Carney responded to reports that Israeli military Moshe Yaalon said Kerry's pursuit of Middle East peace is out of an "incomprehensible obsession and a messianic feeling." "To question Secretary Kerry's motives and distort his proposals is not something we would expect from the defense minister of a close ally," Carney said. Well, dear "Jay", while the US is stuck manipulating the stock market in its 5th year of attempting to trickle down the wealth effect, and defending Obama's disastrous insurance ponzi scheme legacy, China (and increasingly Russia) are dividing up the world among them: from Africa, to Syria, to everywhere else, all the while soaking up all the gold that is not nailed down. So by all means - be prepared for more surprises. As for Kerry's "messianic feeling" - was anyone actually surprised?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
They had no imaginable reason to apologize, K’s proposals were totally irrational, unworkable, and destructive. (And insulting).
I was one that thought K would grow into the job.
I have to admit I was wrong.
(Same for his boss, alas!)
Pray for America!
I think they should apologize to Israel.
Never apologize for stupidity for those who don't speak Yiddish.
Obama must have made a serious, credible threat -forcing Israelis to sign up for Obamacare.
The Israeli’s know exactly the kind of PR damage this does to the administration in the House and Senate.
The forced apology is almost worse than the insult.
He can apologize all he wants but truth is truth. Kerry is not accumulating all those frequent flier miles and photo ops for nothing. He still desperately wants to be President and figures that Hilary in the end may not run due to her fatal flaws. However Kerry is not accomplishing anything significant and appears to be in a perpetual jet lagged haze.
Horse face is just that, a horse face,
Like her looks?
Can you imagine what she'll look like in 5 years? What a train wreck.
Kerry is a clown a doofus and a traitor. Why would anyone mock him?
We did elect the killer Kennedy over and over again, afterall.
Moshe Yaalon: I am sorry...
that John Kerry is a dim witted, horse faced idiot, with messianic delusions.
"I want to look him straight in the eye and tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, far flushing, snake licking, dirt eating, inbreed, overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat assed, bug eyed, stiff legged, spotty lipped, worm headed, sack of monkey shit he is!!! Halleluah!! Holy shit!! Where's the Tylenol??"
Its hard not to, when given so much opportunity.
He is right for apologizing; “obsessive and messianic” rightfully belong to Kerry’s boss, not he himself.
That Defense Minister should immediately correct himself and call MFKerry by his proper title: LickSpittle.
You must stop sugar coating your feelings. The measure of our desperate circumstances is that John Kerry is our SoS.
