    “We are going to defeat Daesh. We always said it will take time,” Kerry said, using an alternative name for the Islamist militant group.

    “We began our fight against al Qaeda in 2001 and it took us quite a few years before we were able to eliminate Osama bin Laden and the top leadership and neutralize them as an effective force. We hope to do Daesh much faster than that and we think we have an ability to do that,” he told reporters.

    Al Queda is still around and killing; it is just that ISIS has gathered all of the headlines.
    Kerry should be given a simple job on an assembly line putting door knobs into plastic bags where he can’t do so much harm…

    All of these wars now are the result of the war against saddam in iraq which unleashed the warring parties that he kept under control The arab spring was created by U.S.A. to succeed the despotic regimes that were in power, and this is the product.

    Why doesn’t US throw an atomic bomb on Raqqa in Syria (stronghold of IS), it would finish the job in seconds.

    “Daesh”? Is that the PC (politically correct) way to sa ISIS? The moron still won’t name the enemy!

    We hope to do Daesh much faster than that and we think we have an ability to do that,” Kerry told reporters. …here we go again, more “hope and change”! Kerry is ‘Mote Off’ than MORON!
