Kerry: Administration’s Foreign Policy Not ‘Spinning Out of Control’

Secretary of State John Kerry took exception Tuesday to an assertion by a Republican senator that the Obama administration’s foreign policy is “spinning out of control,” declaring that “that’s just not true.”

“You can’t help but get the impression our foreign policy is just spinning out of control,” Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the State Department budget. “And we are losing control in virtually every area that we are trying to do something in.”

Risch cited developments in Russia, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations – but focused on the Russia-Ukraine situation.

“This administration said they were going to hit the reset button [with Moscow] and I can’t help think that somebody hit the wrong button,” he said.

The Russians were behaving “worse than they have in decades,” Risch said, pointing to Russia’s continued presence in Georgian territory it seized in 2008, its current actions in Ukraine, and its support for the Assad regime in Syria as tens of thousands continue to die.

well it sure looks like the admin’s foreign policy is spinning out of control, but if JKerry says its not...
then OK ...

but it sure is Phuq*ed up royally, that’s for sure!
We Americans are sick and tired of “our” government
1. disarming or weakening out country’s defenses
2. supporting, funding, and arming the worst Muslem terrorist gangs all over the world,
and
3. trying to sell out our allies.

But we all realize that JKerry is just trying to do His Master’s bidding. And his master just reads, takes his direction mostly off TOTUS.

(And who programs TOTUS?)

There is NO “coherent” Foreign Policy!
Therefore, NOTHING has ever been “in control”.
Thus no frame of reference to measure “out of control”.

Mac Daddies foreign police is not spinning out of control, you need to have a foreign policy before it can spin out of control.

Drawing red lines over and over again does not count as a foreign policy it only indicates that the POTUS is a weak liar with no credibility.

JK denying something is a good as a confirmation.
Except of course he never *had* control.
Let's just say it ain't working and it was never meant to.

Shut up, John. It was never in control to begin with. Why don't you go somewhere you're liked.... like North VietNam.

“You can’t help but get the impression our foreign policy is just spinning out of control,”

Actually the impression *I* have gotten was that our foreign policy was never in control to begin with, and has just gravitated from bad, to worse...

The spin is coming out of Lurch’s mouth, and it’s making him ditzy.

The Obamadork, being your typical narcisicist, always hires those dumber than he.

This is a particularly difficult task - given that few humans are dumber than he.

Thankfully, we have democrat senators who fill the bill.

And the dork hired one of the dumbest for Dept of State.

However, she wasn’t dumb enough.

So. lowering the bar even further....

Welcome to the State Department, Lurch.

The Obama Administration’s foreign policy is spinning out of control? Like a one winged Japanese Zero.
