Kerry: ‘We Can’t Work in a Vacuum of Iraqi Political Power’

Oh gawd.

Secretary of State John Kerry told CBS News on Tuesday that Obama is fully prepared to use American military might to help the Iraqi government push back Sunni Islamic militants sweeping across the country’s west, but not “in a vacuum” of Iraqi political power.

……”It would be a complete and total act of irresponsibility” for the president to order airstrikes, said Kerry, when “there’s no government, there’s no backup, there’s no military, there’s nothing there that provides the capacity for success.”

……”We’re not making a decision about American force in a vacuum,” he told Brennan, explaining that any U.S. military commitment was “tied to success in the long run,” which he said could only come from “leadership that can unify Iraq.”

Well, the way things are going, it looks like the Al Qaeda and its offshoots will soon be the “government”. What then, genius?

“What we are doing is a deliberate, careful, thoughtful approach, listening to the people here, listening to the allies, listening to the partner countries in the region, and putting together something that can work,” he added.

Good luck with that, Kerry. There are no “partner countries” in the region, asshole. All of them are just as culpable for terrorism as the ISIS and Al Qaeda. Saudi Arabia, Libya, Yemen, Egypt, Pakistan, Malaysia, Jordan, Syria, Iran, and every other Islamic cesspool in the Middle East, North Africa, and Indonesia, fund, train, support, breed, and indoctrinate muzzie jihadists. There are no “Arab partners”.
