I have written much about our foreign relations policies and how we are surrounded by people that cannot think logically.
I recent read a story that just confirmed all my fears about our international thoughts.
The subject in question is ISIS and their acts of barbarity.
We all have seen the executions, the in humane treatment, the forcing women and children into servitude and especially the mass murders of entire populations of Yazidis, Christians and destruction of heritage sites, just the list a few of their atrocities.
The report I read was about something the Kerry’s State department has said……
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry determined Thursday that the Islamic State group is committing genocide against Christians and other minorities in Iraq and Syria, meeting a congressional deadline for a decision.
The declaration, while long sought by Congress and human rights groups, changes little. It does not obligate the United States to take additional action against IS militants and does not prejudge any prosecution against its members.
A day after the State Department said Kerry would miss the deadline because he needed to gather evidence and act deliberatively, Kerry said he had completed his review and determined that Christians, Yazidis and Shiite groups are victims of genocide and crimes against humanity by IS militants. The House earlier this week passed a nonbinding resolution by a 393-0 vote condemning IS atrocities as genocide.
“In my judgment Daesh is responsible for genocide against groups in territory under its control” Kerry said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
So he thinks that the acts of ISIS is genocide, right?
My first impulse was…..Ya Think!
My question is…..what took you so long?
I think this should be a no-brainer but apparently the State Department need some time to make up their mind.
He, Kerry, outlined a litany of atrocities that he said the militants had committed against people and religious sites, as well as threats. “Daesh is genocidal by self-acclimation, by ideology and by practice.”
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, the author of the House bill, commended Kerry’s decision.
“The United States has now spoken with clarity and moral authority,” Fortenberry, R-Neb., said in a statement. “I sincerely hope that the genocide designation will raise international consciousness, end the scandal of silence, and create the preconditions for the protection and reintegration of these ancient faith communities into their ancestral homelands.”
I regret that I feel that we employ the dumbest mothers on the planet to run our foreign policy.
Why should it take over 2 years to make this determination?
You want to know why our country has such a horrible rep around the world……then look no further than the idiots that hold the key to our foreign policy.
Sorry, but Kerry sounds a lot like Homer Simpson……”DOH!”
Hahaha,….Doh….
That’s the fave expression of the dubious!
Where is he?

thanx 😉
