 Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2015 12:16 am Post subject: Kerry urges patience in fight against ISIS |
 |
|
From the Hill;
| Quote: | “We have to be patient,” Kerry insisted.
“I am confident if we stay steady, keep our heads thinking creatively but also being strong and committed to our fundamental values, we’re going to defeat Daesh,” he added, using an alternate name for ISIS.
<<>>
“We always said it would take time,” Kerry defended on Thursday.
“We began our fight against al Qaeda in 2001 and it took us quite a few years before we were able to eliminate Osama bin Laden and the top leadership and neutralize them as an effective force," he said. "We hope to do Daesh much faster than that. We believe we have an ability to do that.” |
Two thoughts;
First, I am unaware that Al Qaeda has been "neutralized" just yet.
Second, where was this call for patience back in 2004 when it was him running around crying "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time?"

Delete this if it's too politically incorrect, but Kerry could take a page from this old retired veteran's book. He was a Naval Academy graduate and a Vietnam veteran Navy pilot (A-4s and A-6s I believe). He sent this to me a few days ago.
I was sitting at a long stop light yesterday, thinking about what I could do to keep busy during retirement, minding my own business, impatiently waiting for the light to turn green even though there was no on-coming traffic.
An old Nissan full of bearded young men, loudly shouting Anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American Flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car and a "Remember 9-11" slogan spray painted on the side, stopped next to me.
Suddenly they yelled, "Allahu Akbar! Praise Allah! Death to America" and took off before the light changed.
At that moment an 18-wheeler truck came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and killing everyone in it.
For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, "Man, that could have been me!"
Today, bright and early, I went out and got a job as a truck driver! |
