Kerry arrives in Vietnam on his last trip as secretary of state (wasting taxpayer $$$ one last time)

HANOI — Secretary of State John F. Kerry returned to Vietnam on Thursday for his fourth and final visit as the top U.S. diplomat, his presence embodying the transformation of the two countries from enemies to partners.

Even as his nominated successor, Rex Tillerson, was answering questions at his confirmation hearing Wednesday, Kerry was already in the air for the 22-hour journey from Washington to Southeast Asia. It is the final trip overseas for the most traveled secretary of state in U.S. history. With his latest flight, he has now logged more than 1.4 million miles.

After two days in Vietnam, Kerry goes to Paris to confer with other foreign ministers on Middle East peace and to London for dinner with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. He will end the trip at an economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, then return to Washington with barely a day and a half left to savor what he has characterized as the job of a lifetime.

I hope the ghosts of the 600 POWs we left behind and who he and McCain sealed the fates of, visit him nightly.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = =

He has to get back to DC 'early because President Trump ORDERED JF'nKs Plane back to DC with or without JF'nK aboard.

Looks like BO got him out of the country for the better part of 4 years so maybe we should give him 'credit' for that.

NAH.......

Any way we can make him stay there?

He can find the spot where he shot himself in his Obama to get out of real service there.

All you say is 100% true.
I remember the Swiftboat Vets! They were brave and loyal soldiers doing their job: protecting America.

THANK YOU for serving.

“...Ham and Lima Beans...”

I may have a fifty-year-old can of that stuff in all my old junk. He can have it — right behind the ear!
