John Kerry Keen To Be US Top Diplomat

John Kerry keen to be US’ top diplomat
June 16,2008
NEW YORK:
John Kerry, who suffered defeat at the hands of President George Bush in last US elections, now harbours aspiration to become Secretary of State if presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama wins the race to the White House in November.
Kerry, who is the third ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, is keen to be nation’s top diplomat but does not eye the bigger prize of vice-presidency, Newsweek on Sunday quoted an unidentified source close to him as saying.
That could also well be the case for Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, the committee’s second-ranking Democrat and for Senator Joseph Biden, the committee’s chairman, who is frequently mentioned by Democratic insiders as a potential Secretary of State though both might give the V-P post their first priority, the report said.
Kerry is a decorated Vietnam War veteran, but because his Senate experience is in foreign relations rather than military affairs, he’s more intrigued by the State Department than the Pentagon, Newsweek said quoting the source. He also speaks fluent French.
Dodd, meanwhile, has recently been showcasing his expertise on Latin America. At an April conference at the US Naval Academy, he laid out a blueprint for a “new relationship” between the United States and the region, the report noted.
Dodd’s plan would include efforts to “dramatically improve” relations with Raul Castro’s Cuba by lifting a US trade embargo and travel ban.

Traitor John Kerry through the years

John Kerry, from his book, The New Soldier:
This John Kerry quote comes in the epilogue to “The New Soldier,” the book put out by Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) . The book’s cover features a group of not-particularly sober-looking anti-war protesters (vets, presumably) flying the American flag upside down while mocking the historic flag raising event at Iwo Jima”:

“We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans’ Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the “greater glory of the United States.” We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars-in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim. It is from these things the New Soldier is asking America to turn. We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear, and mostly from the promises which have proven so deceiving these past ten years. “

Kerry testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.
“Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam — our allies — as a “dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime,” while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong’s political arm by their preferred “Provisional Revolutionary Government.”

“Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group’s leading national spokesman.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Kerry and Obama would probably be on the same diplomatic page. Unconditional surrender.
Kerry should have been punished for treason when he did the above and other things back in the 70’s. If you like you can go to a page I made when Kerry was running for President. It is called Extreme Prejudice The Red Zone. It has a lot more information there.
