Is John Kerry The Most Useless Sec. of State in U.S. History?

[Bush92]

Dean Rusk. That whole Vietnam War thing that happened on his watch and failure to bring USSR to bear down and pressure North Vietnam to accept peace terms. Something Kissinger later did do. But, as for Kissinger he helped get the U.S. off the Gold Standard and ended Bretton Woods agreement. So he ranks low as well. But Colin Powell being used as a tool by W. Bush at the U.N. also ranks near the bottom.

After Colin "Yellowcake" Powell and Condi "Smoking Gun" Rice it is not too difficult to appear accomplished

Both Hillary and Kerry did not meet rightwing expectations for what a Secretary of State should do. They actually stooped to diplomacy (every conservative knows diplomacy is for pussies) and they didn't invade anyone

How can you be a Secretary of State without an invasion to your name?

all the SOS is.....is the spoke hole for the President.....lousy Presidents.....lousy SOS....if the Pres. is a good Pres....the SOS comes off looking good....

Or would that be Hillary Clinton.

You decide.

Is Kerry the most useless secretary of state in living memory? - BizPac Review

Clinton is worse by far, but Kerry is a second.

Neither are as bad as others in the administration: Holder is so awful it's insulting he is still the attorney general, Sebilus is incompetent and Napalitano is showing her brilliance with the flood of illegal alien children at the border!

Napolitano?.....were you been?..... she has been gone for almost a year....

What do they have to do with comparing Hillary to Kerry, trolling imbecile?

Do you understand what a Secretary of State is?

Guess what? Secretary of States are not judged by how many wars they can start

You see Warrior, this is how it works

The Secretary of State is appointed by the President to represent our country in foreign affairs. He or she is expected to use something called "Diplomacy"

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=diplomacy

It means you talk and negotiate with those who have different political views. Secretary of States are expected to come up with something we call "peaceful solutions" It does not mean you invade and make a new nation if they do not agree with you. It also means you do not make up stories to support your invasions

Hope that clarifies things

No, but you could point out that Kellogg's successor, Stimson, recognized the threat Germany was becoming, all ignored once Republicans faced FDR. Then all that mattered was attacking FDR.

the Secretary of State conveys the message and words of the President....im sure he has input on whats happening.....but at the end of the day he is conveying the Presidents message....some are good Statesmen and are well liked, some not so much....

Some, like Blaine, are just killing time.

Its history, try to have someone teach you, if that is possible:

Congressional internationalists supported Roosevelt while isolationists, such as Hamilton Fish of New York, Dewey Short of Missouri, and Karl Mundt of South Dakota, opposed Lend-Lease because they believed it ceded congressional prerogatives and might directly embroil the country in war. Representative James Wadsworth of New York declared Roosevelt’s plan to be “startling. We have never been asked to consider anything like it. The powers proposed to be given to him by the Congress are enormous.” After weeks of intense debate, including testimony against Lend-Lease by aviation hero Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House approved the measure. President Franklin Roosevelt signed the bill into law the same day.

All Republicans-Fish, Short, Mundt, and Wadsworth, plus Fascist sympathizer Lindbergh.
