Kerry: US 'in a direct confrontation with evil'
2013-04-20
[THEHILL] The bombings in Boston have only strengthened President B.O.'s resolve to strengthen international cooperation against terrorism, Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
said Friday.

"For this entire week, we've been in a direct confrontation with evil," Kerry said. "President B.O. has made this a critical component of his foreign policy, and obviously this just emphasizes that."

Kerry, a former senator of Massachusetts, made the remarks in a presser alongside Mexican Foreign Secretary Jose Antonio Meade after their bilateral meeting at the State Department. Kerry said cross-border security was a topic of discussion following reports that the two suspects in the attack were Chechen immigrants.

"This underscores the importance of all of us maintaining vigilance and cooperating together internationally," Kerry said. "That's part of what we're talking about here. Terror anywhere in the world, against any country, is unacceptable, and we need to continue to fight against it in the way that we are. It strengthens, actually, my resolve and my sense that we're on the right track, but there's more we can do and we're going to continue to do it."

#6  Actually I think Kerry wouldn't mind comparison's to W at this point as they could spin it around the "caught them within a week" angle while W had to wait for Obama to come and catch the villains despite his tough talk.

Besides, the left allows their own a lot of lee-way in hypocracy.

That's Beltway speak for "since we can't get gun grabbing authorized by Congress, we'll use UN mandates to do it".

Not his responsibility, but more appropriately a shared responsibility. Cognitive deflection at war with his advanced cognitive dissonance? I recommend more dagga weed.

#1  Careful, John. You're getting awfully close to the old George Bush Axis of Evil talk. Are you really prepared to make a moral judgment?
