Secretary of State John Kerry says Americans should be proud of Barack Obama for his leadership in the world. “The fact is that in every fundamental issue of conflict today, the United States is in the center, leading, and trying to find an effort to make peace where peace is very difficult,” Kerry told NBC News’ David Gregory. “The American people ought to be proud in terms of what this president has done in terms of peaceful diplomatic engagement, rather than quick trigger, deploying troops, starting or engaging in a war of choice.” That’s a veiled reference to the war in Iraq, which Kerry was for before he was against. His protests are too much, however, as Obama is clearly out of his depth while the U.S. and the world suffer for it.
