Is John Kerry really this stupid?

a reply to: FlyersFan

Iran has been ' weeks away ' from destroying Israel since 2008. It's sad that nobody calls Bibi on his nonsense.

I'm also surprised he didn't bring any props with him for the speech. He should know that Americans like shiny things more than the UN does. He was talking to 'Congress" after all.

Yes.

Of course the Iran rhetoric is ridiculous, because its not true. But they have to hang their hat on some point to make the country out to be such a threat that we all jump on the something must be done bandwagon…

The have this power plant, see? We must intervene, bomb and regime change their whole country.

Leave the Iranians ALONE! Why are we supporting the Israeli government as it commit s genocide?

I think stupid is questioning the intelligence of somebody who has merely committed the crime of not agreeing with your particular flavour of ideology. Just sayin', eh?

I hate to say it, but someone needs to read Bibi "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," as he seems to be latching on to the alarmists' tactic of making everything an imminent, world-destroying threat.

I mean, really--what's the point? Isreal will be flooded by melting ice caps, and its inhabitant eaten by the polar bears that wash up on shore. Something is always immenent...

And what do we call them?

Oh that's right part of "The Axis of Evil."

Sounds like something out of a comic book rather than uttered by a 21st century President.

Why wouldn't they train for war? Haven't we made it clear that we will attack any country that dares to deny our right to police the world?

Have you actually heard the rhetoric of our "ally" Israel?

Who can blame the Iranians for preparation?

Oh, and please. There is no comparison between the Iranian military and the American. There just isn't.

Kudos for your use of absurdum ad hitlerum though. Since we are the ones invading countries, however, you may want to recast the roles ... just for a bit of historical accuracy.

It's not ideology to presume that Iran--who repeatedly expresses interest in having nuclear weapons--would not use nuclear capabilities only for peaceful purposes. Kerry can't seem to see the forest through the trees on this one.

Name the country:

Routinely attacks neighboring countries often returning missile fire for thrown rocks and cans.

Has been involved in military action outside its borders virtually every year of its existence.

Ignores international treaties and acts unilaterally against those it views as "enemies."

Has a significant nuclear capability and quietly threatens its use.

Hint: Its not Iran.

Well, given that Israel has nukes, and is not held to the same standard, then yes...it is totally an ideological issue.

I still cringe at the fake hug moment he had with mr holland when he went to france.

Iran is responsible for those actions or terrorists from Iran are responsible for those actions? Are Christians responsible for a minority of Christians fire bombing abortion clinics?

in some kuds force and republican guard were directly involved. in others officially sanctioned terrorist groups carried it out. in each the Iranian Government was responsible for either commanding and supervising it be done or for creating and enabling the groups responsible.

Are you planning on backing any of your statements up with proof?

To say these people are stupid means their plan is working.
On the contrary John Kerry.

Hint: Its not Iran.

Oh wait I know this one! What's a one country over there?

You need at least ... a nuclear powerplant if you want the juice to spin them all.

Er ...

The Navel of the World is a concept of a mythological center of the world or universe. Navel of the World may also refer to a number of real-world locations: Baboquivari Peak Wilderness in Arizona, USA, according to the O'odham nation. name of a lithic site near Ahu Te Pito Kura, Easter Island.

Time travel must really be disconcerting these days.

Who knew that Easter Island was against Israel?

Gee Keeper, I go away for a few months and I come back to talk of shiny things..

I have to agree, I thought Bibi gave a good speech, as speeches go, but it was really only a campaign speech for his election back home, it had nothing to do with the reality of the situation in the Middle East currently, esp when news has come out that Iran is actually helping coalition forces by sending in ground troops to counter ISIS/ISIL in Iraq, really sounds like a state that wants to annihilate everyone.. (rolls eyes)

England had it's Chamberlian and we have our Flipper.

And may the Farce be with You.

Iran hasn't started a conflict in like..50 years.

~Tenth

It's more like 200+ years

Iran's current regime took power in 1979, how is that 50 or 200+ years? Did I miss something?
