Thank goodness!
Well, it is sometimes said that a diplomat is an honorable person sent to lie for their country. Given Ms. Rice's statements to the American people about Benghazi, I think we can be pretty sure she will lie to foreigners, right?
UPDATE: Good God, apparently John Kerry is a possible Secretary of Defense. The man who testified with blanket condemnations of Americans at war? The man who rejected the medals his nation's military awarded him? This man will lead the Defense Department?
What's next? Charles Manson for the Department of Justice?
UPDATE: Could we get that Secretary of Explaining "Stuff" nominated and confirmed quickly to head off this cabinet disaster?
Is anybody seriously considering taking this man's advice on military manners? I'm not sure I'd take his advice on riverine warfare with small craft. Advice on spandex fitting protocols for water sports? Oui. But not much else. ...
God help us all. Beware the officer who turns on his own military.
Just make the man ambassador to France, will ya?
UPDATE: Via Instapundit, yes, this would be an insult to anyone who wears or has worn a uniform (well, one of our uniforms, anyway):
[Joking] about pleasing our enemy and betraying our ally ... is one of the most galling from testimony in 1971 of the Navy lieutenant named John Kerry, who went up on Capitol Hill and testified before the Foreign Relations Committee against his fellow GIs in respect of Vietnam. We re-read the testimony last night after the news went up on the Drudge Report that Senator Kerry, now chairman of the committee before which he once testified, is under consideration for the post of Defense Secretary in the second Obama administration. It’s hard to imagine that a more calculated insult to American veterans has ever been made on Veterans Day.
Kerry can be sworn in on the USS Murtha to complete the insult.
And what does this say to our Iraqi and Afghan friends? They are already worried we will abandon them. How will they feel when our president chooses as Secretary of Defense a man who built his career on trashing and abandoning South Vietnam and the American troops who fought and died to keep them from falling to the communists of Hanoi?
