WASHINGTON Under blue skies on a blazing hot day this summer, John Kerry hopped onto his bike, clipped into his pedals, and spent three hours on a grueling ride up a mountain in the Alps.
This was a year after he fell off his bike and broke his femur. This was after days in the hospital and months of physical therapy. This was after he became the butt of jokes from Donald Trump.
Now he was back on the bike, trying to ride the same Alpine pass, featured in the Tour de France, that hed failed to complete a year earlier.
I wanted to go back, Kerry said. I just was not satisfied. . . . I said, Ive got to go pick up where I left off.
It has sometimes seemed, too, that Kerry as secretary of state has tried to change the worlds ills through sheer determination and stamina. And in some important cases like the deal to limit Irans capacity to create a nuclear weapon, or helping persuade nearly 200 nations to sign onto a climate agreement his tireless efforts yielded historic results.
But, as his critics have noted, not all the worlds problems can succumb to individual will. A case in point is the future of civilians in Aleppo, the most tragic result of Americas inability to change the trajectory of Syrias civil war, hangs heavily on Kerrys mind.
Even as he recited some of the what-ifs on Syria policy and internal Obama administration disagreements, Kerry worked the phones with various foreign ministers last week in a bid to provide a safe haven for Aleppos people, who were being killed by the Syrian militarys final push to seize the city.

He doesn't seem to be moving very fast.

Any mention of his major involvement in losing the Vietnam war?
He has yet to be tried for treason for selling out our country to the North Vietnamese.
The ONLY hope now at State is the hope that the Trump administration will be able to clean up some of the EXTENSIVE damage that Obama/Clinton/Kerry leave behind in their vile wakes.
Right. Lol
Or his aid and comfort to Central American Communism
The article is ridiculous (of course) and the US is indeed hoping for a decent mature person to take on the SoS job.
However I will say kudos to John Kerry for taking on that bike ride in the Alps at his age. With my knees I certainly couldn’t do it.
Hilarious the crap they write for their zombie readers.
Kerry left “hope,” hope is what is last when it is devoid of works. “You shall know then by their works.” Kerry is one stupid fool, his butt hurt that gave him a medal in Vietnam not withstanding. These clowns that write this crap need mental evaluations.
YEAH HOPE.... what allies we have left HOPE they never see another group of self centered egotistical morons every again
Syrup of ipecac, now available in print form.
Did you know Kerry left vietnam early (after only 92 days in-country) and that includes his days spent on leave and R&R, days training and in-doc, and days resting/recuperating between his few missions?
The traitor should be in prison. He is a self-important , incompetent oaf.
geeeze! They must be smoking some really good weed at the globe.
Legacy of Hope they say.
From the regime who’s expertise is only the misuse of the word Hope
Pathetic.
Kerry Demonstrates The Goosestep.
Hope? I hope they mean he’s going to take the remedial reading and elocution courses as soon as possible.
Everything he touched turned to rot...
Kerry’s Legacy is the same as Zero and Hilo.. Zero!!!
The Ministry Of Kerry Walks.
