WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called the nearly five-year Syria conflict that has killed 250,000, wounded more than a million and displaced millions as an "unfolding humanitarian catastrophe unmatched since World War II."

Why does “leading from behind” sound so repulsive? Or is it just me?
He’s now equating 250K Syrians with 800K Rwandans. Racist. And quite a bit worse than 2:5
Guess Kerry forgot about Viet Nam... but then again we all know is memoirs of the era are a bit faulty
Cambodia ?
China Red guards any one ?
Korea ?
And many wars on Africa
Oh and the massacre of Jews in iseral... wait that one was but on hold by IDF
Not really Johnie, you have created an invasion of Europe with your liberal friends that is and will be historical.
I’m not sure of the outcome but promise it will be catastrophic.
And you and Obama let us right into this mess
-The leader of the Puppeteers is known as the Hindmost. Since Pierson’s Puppeteers are foremost concerned with their own safety and the survival of their species, the most important Puppeteer is considered to be behind, or protected by, every other member of the species. It is a shortening from the more literal the one who leads from behind. A maddened, deposed Hindmost is responsible for Louis Wu’s return to the Ringworld in the book The Ringworld Engineers.-

The Hindmost was a vegetarian leader. He leads from behind because that was the most protected place in the herd. It’s repulsive because it is the opposite of what we call manly. Every time Obama or somebody in his Administration uses the term lead from behind, it reminds me of these heard creatures.
It’s still a civil war. We had one of those.
Leading from behind is what a Marxist says he’s doing when in fact he’s doing everything possible to FUBAR a given situation. It also provides the Marxist press an official policy label for the FUBAR mess left in the Marxists wake.
Worse than Rwanda or Biafra. Guess African conflicts don’t count in Kerry’s eyes....Racist!
Send James Taylor to Damascus.
If this were true then some of the “Syrian Refugees” would actually be Syrian then wouldn’t they?
It looks like Kerry is talking, but you can see George Soros’ lips moving.
Really, does anyone with verage or above intelligence give a smelly Obama what this cretin says?

There are young, innocent girls in Cologne and throughout Europe who would say the West’s response to Syria’s civil war is the worst since World War II.
Hard to see how we could have stopped the religious conflict in Syria. If we had helped turf Assad, we'd be seeing a flood of non-Sunni Arab refugees. Fewer dead Sunni Arabs, but lots of dead Shiites, Kurds, Druze, Christians and Alawites. Sunni Arabs have learned to claim moderation to advance their objectives. My sense is that they are moderately genocidal, not so much because Sunni Islam is always that way, but because Sunni Islam's current zeitgeist leans that way.
The West has done peanuts in Syria, and that is the correct response to genocidal Sunni Arab rebels. It's the West's red carpet refugee policy that is at fault for the crime problem.
