Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal has made no bones about his hopes that the US would’ve invaded Syria by now, and complained today in Davos that US foreign policy is increasingly disengaged from the region and lacking in direction. Other officials from Turkey and Israel echoed those comments.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who was also a big war enthusiast, didn’t care for that, insisting it was a “myth” and that he was “perplexed” by the claims that the Obama Administration is less interventionist than previous ones.
“You can’t find another country – not one country – so proactively engaged or that is partnering with so many Middle Eastern countries,” Kerry insisted, going on to detail his efforts at Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the Iran nuclear deal.
Kerry’s comments reflect the administration’s continued ambition for wholesale intervention the world over, but at the same time a failed push for war with Syria appears to remain a sore spot with him.
He is right. No one intervenes in the Middle East as much as the US with such disastrous results.
From the mouth of a fool comes much truth.
"And no one get their asses kick as much."
I wonder if Kerry is regretting his coming out in the open by taking the SecState job. When he was in the Senate, he pretty much stayed off the radar, thankfully. Now that he's State, every little brain fart he has makes news and exposes his lack of morals and conscience…and the dirty little secret that he is in fact a rampant warmonger and Israeli poodle.
Amazing, Kerry sticks his foot in his mouth, and for once the truth comes out!
