1. The US is not stupid nor blind,
David ,   Montreal Canada   (11.10.13)
but I think Obama should get his cataracts removed. His completely disconnected with the international issues.
2. Kerry
Leon ,   Grand Rapids US   (11.10.13)
He is right. The US is neither blind nor stupid, but Obama is both.
3. Kerry says there is zero gap
Gary ,   Cape Town   (11.10.13)
It is really concerning the number of times American diplomats find it necessary to state that there is "zero gap" between the USA and israel. It must mean they believe in words there is zero gap but in their actions there is a massive gap. Obama is a great orator but when it comes to action he lacks the courage to lead the home of the brave.
4. Blind and stupid?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (11.10.13)
BHO is not blind, stupid. He is an evil man who wants to throw US allies intentionally under the bus.
5. USA administration proved untrustworthy
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (11.10.13)
Red Lines ignored, 6 UNSC resolutions on Iran disregarded, Promised to the USA citizen on existing health policies and doctors dishonoured, Lies Lies and more Lies, Benghazi, AP, IRS, Rosen, Fast & Furious, EPA, and on This is a rogue administration; Egypt group of lawyers taking Obama to ICC for inciting and being accessary to murder ...
6. zionists extremists going too far, usa patience has limits
Ramzi Jaber ,   Palestine   (11.10.13)
just remember that the arc of history always bends towards justice. the palestinian cause is just. the zionist case is non-existent and fraudulent as will be proven at the icc/icj.
7. USA not the problem it's the stupid Kerry we have
to deal with. ,   as bad as hilary   (11.10.13)
8. Obama or Kerry, Nothing they say seem to be truth.
experienced enough   (11.10.13)
9. Blind No--Stupid Yes
Ellen ,   Isr   (11.10.13)
Despite Kerry's protestations to the contrary, if we look at the actions of the Obama administration you could certainly make an argument for stupid. This administrations efforts in international affairs is a joke. This administrations effort in national affairs is another joke. Obama campaigned for change and the only change we got was the incoming of a large amount of stupid.
10. The US
gramps ,   nj USA   (11.10.13)
The US is led by someone who is evil and wants to destroy the US, the free world along with Israel in order to revive the worlwide Muslim Caliphate. There is no other explaination for his actions. He is not stupid, but evil.
11. So sick of the blind leading the stupid!!
Mike ,   Israel Israelis   (11.10.13)
3 guess who is the blind and who is stupid!!
12. US not blind? Kerry sure is and a
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.10.13)
class A weakling with it.
13. #10 - Detached form REALITY
spyguy ,   seattle   (11.10.13)
Keep in mind that the PEOPLE of the US elected Obama TWICE, so it appears a MAJORITY of the people in the US do not agree with "gramps.". Obama is doing what is best for the US. If Israelis don't like that, too bad. It is not "evil" for the POTUS to do what is best for the US.
14. Nuclear Iran is part of Pal Conspiracy
David ,   Montpelier USA   (11.10.13)
The comments by #6 prove that a nuclear Iran is part of the Palestinian plan to destroy Israel. The fact that Kerry and Obama are both stupid and blind to this is well known as they are both protegees of the original idiot in chief, Jimmy Carter.
15. The US may not be blind, but Obama is, and naive in
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.10.13)
addition. And, without knowledge of the region, experience dealing with its players and the expertise that is developed in the process. And, with loads of ideology from the "school" of the Rev. J. Wright of Chicago and that of the Profs. E.Said and R. Khalidi of New York, one does what Obama has been doing in the region: acts to push away allies of the US and in support of US enemies. It is high time for a change...!!
16. #4 - ther is no such thing as "allies"
spyguy ,   seattle   (11.10.13)
When it comes to nations, there is no such thing as allies, but temporary "friends" that are exploited until they are no longer useful, then they are thrown overboard. Israel is no longer useful to the USA, so because Israel reuses to conform to reality, they will eventually be thrown overboard. This is what humans have done for over 50000 years, so why would you expect the US to act any different? Sure it hurts emotionally to be de-friended, but that is just life on this earth.
17. # 2 Leon Exactly.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (11.10.13)
I'd be surprised if obama isn't impeached before his term is up. All those 'stupid' scandals that wont go away. Unfortunately, obama did blind side and led the US into public 'stupidity.' GET EVEN BUILD MORE AND FASTER !!
18. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (11.10.13)
A good and intelligent worker is supposed to finish and complete one work and then start another. Kerry is NOT doing that.
19. The USs Thrusthworthiness is eroding by the day
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.10.13)
But She are blind to its effect that the US is not regarded as thrusthworthy any longer. Your Seeing and Unstupidity is a Serlfdeception, that only you believe Yourself. Bad by Idiot !. Arn.Sweden.
20. No one said the US is "stupid or blind"
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa   (11.10.13)
But the proper behavior and understanding of International Relations, by the President and the Secretary of State, has been "unbelievably small". These are the words which Mr. Kerry used to describe a 'possible strike' on Syria. How can someone so err?
21. Mr. Kerry, perhaps you should look at the record.
Avishai ,   Tel Aviv   (11.10.13)
Mr. Kerry, perhaps you should look at the present administrations Middle Eastern foreign policy record. Egypt turning back to Russia, Turkey fantasizing about rebuilding the Ottoman Empire, Saudi is buying nukes from Pakistan, the US fiasco in Syria... It's a really long list of total failures. As for Israel's so called "illegitimate" settlement policy, the entire US is occupied territory stolen from the indigenous tribes whereas Israel has reclaimed her lands from occupying forces.
22. Not Blind
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (11.10.13)
Just naive, inept, and clueless!
23. Kerry/Obama think that WE are all blind and stupid
CJK   (11.10.13)
these two think that the entire world is blind and stupid. obama thinks that he can deceive, delude, dupe, the entire world. in fact, he is deluding himself.
24. Blind or stupid?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.10.13)
How about gullible? How about single-minded pursuit by the American president of a private agenda that does not in any way bode well for the United States? There's also a criminal offense: relaxing sanctions against Iran. That is the exclusive bailiwick of the United States Congress. Obama considers himself to be above the law. He's not.
25. Ozero: A Political Stuffshirt filled with Indonesian Islamic
Bernie ,   Erehwon, USA   (11.10.13)
training, biofather socialism and Havaad liberal humanism. Any and all a deadly combination to have as an ally of Israel. Thank the Lord those who know their God can pray for the apple of God's eye, that He fulfill all His covenant promises to Abraham. May all who curse Israel receive the harvest they sow to themselves, as horrible as it will be.
26. #16 spyguy
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (11.10.13)
Do you think it's in the very own interest of the USA to alienate each former ally?
27. Threshold Nuclear Powers
Zechariah   (11.10.13)
With nuclear Proliferation Mexico Veuzuala and Columbia will join and Indonesia waiting patiently for the USA to be Diverted .France has a high Sunni population and they are incensed by the Shia Threat.As for Russia the Islamic states and Ukraine will secretly nuclearize the USSR will be Reborn and the flleeing Fascisti strengthen the USA Republicans .The Jews will have to disperse into all of Israel including Judaea and Samaria and form tactical nuclear weapon armed shock units .In other words by 2030-2050 billions threatened with nuclear biological and chemical war.
28. US ELECTORATE are perhaps blind or stupid to have voted 2X
