Kerry: ISIS 'is no more a state than I am a helicopter'
CNN ^ | 06/02/15 | Jeremy Diamond,

Speaking via telephone to the summit he was scheduled to attend before his bike accident scrubbed those plans, Kerry forcefully pushed back against any notion that ISIS is a state, despite the group's broad territorial gains.

Kerry spoke about the need to "maintain momentum in the battle of ideas," according to excerpts from the call provided by the State Department.

"One way is to expose at every opportunity the false nature of Daesh's claim to be the Islamic State. In reality, Daesh is no more a state than I am a helicopter," Kerry said, using another name for ISIS widely used by European and Arab allies that is despised by the terrorist group.

He can be a helicopter but he’ll still have the face of a horse.

That doesn’t make any sense. Must be an old war injury.

I've seen video of him cycling in Switzerland, prior to his crash.

So, it would seem the press and paparazzi were following along.

So, where is the crash video?

Helicopter Kerry will be his new name for me for a while.

I still like "rice-butt".

Leftists deny the threat of ISIS for the same reason they deny their own ideology -

in order for either to succeed, those they seek to subjugate need to be kept from resisting until it’s too late.

Kerry is the de facto lawyer of the Iranian Mullahs
and ISIS. Strange he represents BOTH sides.

He’s not a helicopter. He’s an idiot.

Sorry, but this is stupid. ISIS controls a large amount of territory, population and resources. It is expanding.

If that isn’t a state, what is it?

I presume what horseface is trying to say is that ISIS is not a legitimate state. Which means he needs to come up with a definition for legitimate state that includes every one of those presently accepted as such but excludes ISIS.

Can’t be done, IMO.

I’d prefer him saying ISIS is a state whose legitimacy we reject and which we’ll destroy if we have to.

ISIS isn’t a “State” - AND they’re not Islamic?

I’m with you, Kerry’s a helicopter...

So, I suppose Kerry believes the forces of Ho Chi Minh did not form the state of Vietnam after their victory.

Is he really this dense?

“Kerry: ISIS ‘is no more a state than I am a helicopter’”

Said the man who helicoptered off his bike.
