U.S Secretary of State John Kerry has stated that airstrikes alone will not be effective in defeating the genocidal ISIS militants.

In an op-ed which appeared in the New York Times, Kerry suggested a global coalition using political, humanitarian, economic, law enforcement and intelligence tools to support military force in order to tackle ISIS, reported the Guardian.

The U.S Secretary of State also added that he and defense secretary Chuck Hagel would be using Nato summit-scheduled for next week at Celtic Manor in Wales- to meet European ministers and to seek to "enlist the broadest possible assistance."

He really did help win the Vietnam war. They even made a statue to honor his contribution.

He should know that you can win a war with airpower alone if you use the correct bombs.

He's not talking about boots on the ground. He's talking about using more "humanitarian" methods.

Sure, Jeankerri. Why don't you just go over there yourself, and show them your smile?

We all know how dumb the Obamadork is.

Take that...

Divide by ten gazillion....

Do it again....

Subtract 10.004

The result is Lurche’s IQ.

Think of the broad who was dumb enough to marry him (or it).

This is true. They may be forced to create some new Twitter hashtags for this situation.

Heavy air strikes would give them a head ache but it will need ground troops with kill orders to stop them. I feel our part is air strikes and leave the ground troops to the coalition. But the war on terrorists, ISIS or ISIL, has never ended.

Obama may airdrop Kerry as the first ground troop.

Maybe he can tell ISIS Leaders about his Vietnam Days and force them to surrender.

If you’re talking about the Arab coalition then they will just take their uniforms off and join ISIS.

Thanks.

Results:

"Sorry We're sorry, but your score of -4200 is not sufficiently high to justify your imperialistic foreign adventure. You will be billed for this test, and you may take it again, by pressing the "Repeat Test" button below.

If you choose not to repeat the test, you may report to UN headquarters and attempt the standard diplomatic approach. We apologize for the inconvenience, but with luck, you may get approval within a decade or so. "

What, Jacques Kerri already running for 2016? Doesn’t he know Biden is going to eat his lunch?

I mean literally eat his lunch.

We are so screwed.
