Heres John Kerry speaking while sitting just a few feet away from Mohammad Khatami, the former President of the Iranian terror state.
Kerry was asked about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Irans government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.
Kerry said the Bush administration has failed in addressing a number of foreign policy issues.
When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we dont advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy, Kerry said.
So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East in the world, really. Ive never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.
Kerry criticized what he called the unfortunate habit of Americans to see the world exclusively through an American lens.
The Bush administration walked away from Kyoto? Methinks the Senator is revising history:
It was a unanimous Senate (with five abstainers) as well as the Clinton administration who walked away from Kyoto. The current administration walked away from Kyoto as well, but for the same reasons as the Clinton administration. Kerry himself, in fact, voted for the Byrd-Hagel Resolution to keep us out of Kyoto. Yet here he is now, a decade later, dishonestly accusing the current administration of isolating this country from the world on an issue like Kyoto that Kerry himself opposed for the very same reasons the Bush administration opposes it.
Why should we believe anything that comes out of this guys mouth? Its bad enough that hes sitting next to one of Americas enemies bad mouthing his own country, but hes flat-out lying in what hes saying as well.
Oh, and stopping off to give an autograph to a guy who supports executing gays for being gay is a real nice touch. But dont expect any of the gay rights groups to hold Kerry accountable for that, though.

The Bush administration walked away from Kyoto? Methinks the Senator is revising history:
The current President, George W. Bush, has indicated that he does not intend to submit the treaty for ratification, not because he does not support the Kyoto principles, but because of the exemption granted to China (the worlds second largest emitter of carbon dioxide). Bush also opposes the treaty because of the strain he believes the treaty would put on the economy; he emphasizes the uncertainties which he asserts are present in the climate change issue.
