Ghengis Khan came the closest, and Obama can check with the secretary of state to confirm that about Ghengis, or Jinjiss as Kerry calls him.
Ghengis Khan had a COOL NAME, at least before John Kerry renamed him Jingis back in his hippie days. Similar with Hitler and Stalin. Like them or not, the names commanded real respect.
But, MY GOD, why would ANYONE take a person with the name “Ash Carter” seriously. No wonder Russia and China are on a roll these days.
