Netanyahu becomes political player, so Kerry treats him like one
msnbc ^ | 02/26/15 | Steve Benen

Secretary of State John Kerry testified on Capitol Hill yesterday, and going into the hearing, it was widely expected that he’d tout the importance of international nuclear talks with Iran. He did exactly that, though he also went a little further in challenging a critic of those talks.

Secretary of State John Kerry reminded Americans on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who is expected to denounce a potential nuclear deal with Iran during an address to Congress next week, also visited Washington in late 2002 to lobby for the invasion of Iraq.

Apparently referring to testimony on the Middle East that Mr. Netanyahu delivered to Congress on Sept. 12, 2002, when he was a private citizen, Mr. Kerry told the House Foreign Affairs Committee, “The prime minister, as you will recall, was profoundly forward-leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading Iraq under George W. Bush, and we all know what happened with that decision.”

Funny.

Kerry went overseas against US policy to negotiate with North Vietnamese, went overseas to negotiate with the Nicaraguan communists, went overseas to meet with the Cuban communists, the African communists ...

“Netanyahu becomes political player,”

Wouldn’t that be true of any Chief of State? With the exception of obama, nothing political about him.

If we had a little less partisan FCC, they’d look at the MSNBC license and not so much to restricting the internet.

Kerry and Obama are pompous delusional narcissists. Netanyahu is a tolerant and wise man. He accepts them for what they actually are not what he hopes they might have been.

John Kerry is Thurston Howell, III of Gilligan's Island.

Silly, pompous, spoiled and self indulgent...

He's a black person's stereotype of a wealthy white man... Biden’s the same. Obama surrounds himself with white stereotypes - silly white 'types' to mock...

In short - John Kerry is a fool...

Should read:

Netanyahu Acts Like Pushy Joo, So Brahmin Kerry Treats Him Like One

The anti-Semitism among the instinctual Nazis hasn't changed in more than a century.

“The prime minister, as you will recall, was profoundly forward-leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading Iraq under George W. Bush, and we all know what happened with that decision.”

Yes horse face, it was successful until democrats gave
it all away by drawing down too soon. Much like they
have always done...

Straw man argument.

Dumb: Kerry Says Netanyahu Can’t Be Trusted On Iran Because He Supported Iraq War – Dumber: Kerry Voted In Favor Of Iraq War…

John Kerry

Instant classic.

Secretary of State John Kerry blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming his support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq shows his judgment on Iran can’t be trusted. “The prime minister was profoundly forward-leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading Iraq under George W. Bush. We all know what happened with that decision,” Kerry said during a House hearing Wednesday. Of course, Kerry voted for the war in Iraq in 2002 and said he was for the invasion during his presidential campaign against George W. Bush in 2004.
