#1 Kerry said he thought Merkel "was extremely courageous"

Is "courageous" diplo-speak for sacrificing oneself on the alter of OWG?

#2 I think Merkel accepted those migrants because the alternative was to put them in camps. Rather too hot an option for Germany.

It's a scale problem. The more that arrive the bigger the problem becomes.

#4 [How to guide ministers to making the right decisions]

Sir Humphrey: If you want to be really sure that the Minister doesn't accept it, you must say the decision is "courageous".

Bernard: And that's worse than "controversial"?

Sir Humphrey: Oh, yes! "Controversial" only means "this will lose you votes". "Courageous" means "this will lose you the election"!

#7 "I thought, frankly, it was inappropriate for a president-elect of the United States to be stepping into the politics of other countries in a quite direct manner,"

but it's OK for Obama, Kerry, DOS, and tax dollars to support anti-Bibi causes

#8 Given how Kerry fucked our troops and our country over, I would say it is inappropriate for him to continue breathing.

#9 I thought Merkel's response was very adult, as opposed to Kerry's statement.

#13 Funny, I was watching an episode of that knee slapper and I realized that John Kerry LOOKS like he should be a character on that show.
