This is so severely delusional, Kerry should seek professional help. Afghanistan has not been an “achievement.” What has the Obama Administration “achieved” in Afghanistan? The needless deaths of U.S. soldiers in green-on-blue attacks. The wasting of billions of dollars that has been given to the corrupt Afghan government. And what about the Taliban, that the U.S. went in to Afghanistan to fight? Is it defeated? No: as soon as the Americans are gone, it will take power again.
These people are nuts.
Secretary of State John Kerry recently spoke at the Oxford Union and addressed a range of issues from climate change to extremism to political corruption. During the question and answer after Kerry’s remarks, one audience member asked the secretary of state to name the “proudest achievements of the Obama administration” now that President Obama’s eight years in office are coming to an end.
Kerry seemed to be somewhat taken off guard by the question, but quickly named three issues in which Kerry himself had been intimately involved: the Paris climate change agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, and the reestablishment of ties with Cuba. But then he also named Afghanistan:

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
LOL! There's a shock! Did he mention he was in Vietnam?
How has that helped the average Jose Seis-pack?
The obama Administration is so COMPLETELY DEVOID of achievements that Kerry has to come up with this statement!!!!
Wait until we find our for sure that Osama bin Laden was a prisoner of Pakistan when the obama Administration “took him out”!! Then the obamites will be show for all the world to see to have NO achievements whatsoever!!!!
PHOOEY!!!!
Sure - right up there with the sell-out of Ukraine and the murder of Ambassador Stevens, et al....
The reality is that within 30 days of the last American troop leaving Afghanistan, the Taliban will seize control. Afghanistan is not a place you bring reason and democracy to. It is a place you bomb and leave.
please consider this a “like”, or “up-vote”, or, well, you know.
Meanwhile, how many American heroes died and were wounded in Afganistan?
Kerry’s statement should make every American livid.
I saw on the crawl thingy on Cnn last night. China, Pakeestan and USA in talks with Taliban for them to come to the table with peace offer.
I read even before teamobama took office in 08 that they wanted to give Afghanistan to Taliban. It was in the Times Of India. I see that will happen. :(
OMG-Kerry should be institutionalized....and nukes to Iran ought to be right up there in the obammy achievement list! Delusional!
Only one kind of dufus-ashaole mankin would be proud:
G-d help us!
What, the vast increase in opiates flowing into the US and into addicts’ veins?
November can not come soon enough.
Uno mas cerveza por favor!
Lurch the traitor!
It took all of two US Army SF Teams, one up north with the Northern Alliance and one in the south central region with Karzai to defeat the Taliban and drive them out of Iraq. Then the marines arrived and screwed things up. This was a UW not a conventional war. We had seen the entire Soviet army humiliated there trying to fight conventional.Next Bush and his BS advisors get into nation building. That is not the job of the US military.
