We have been in a parallel universe since the Nixon Administration.

The press conference U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry convened together with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukry was one of Kerry's most embarrassing incidents since taking office. And there were quite a few in the last year and a half.
A few hours before the press conference began, the Israeli security cabinet ministers unanimously rejected Kerry's cease-fire plan draft. Kerry, as is his wont, seemed and sounded as if he came from a parallel universe. He claimed to have never presented Israel with a formal offer for a cease-fire, slammed the Israeli media's "mischievous reports" and promised that Netanyahu's office will issue a clarification.
As if that wasn't enough, Kerry claimed he made significant progress in the cease-fire talks and said, deadpan, that the disagreements with Israel are purely on matters of terminology. Reality, of course, was completely different. If anything happened on Friday it was another deep crisis in trust between Israeli senior cabinet members and the American secretary of state.

On Friday Kerry said, quote: “The whole world is watching.”
What was he thinking? He was thinking it is 1968. He was thinking that the Israelis are the Chicago police and that Hamas are the anti Vietnam war protestors.
A Progressive doing what Progressives do best - lie! It’s never their fault, they could have got it done but luck was against them, the stars were not properly aligned, Bush caused to fail, etc.
We should now refer to s'kerry as "Gickeleshut Kerry" Sure fits.
What Hanoi Boi needs is a “reset” button.
That was NOT rice shot into his buttocks in Nam. Must have been some kind of mind altering drug.
He wasn’t.
Why would you expect him to start now?
At this point, as far as Israel is concerned we’re Latvia.
They are on their own and they know it. They also know they can do pretty much whatever they want.
I have always admired Israel, where Dr Ruth Westheimer was once a sniper for the IDF. Love 'em!
