Why is Kerry fixated on the peace process? There are several possibilities:

1. He isn’t allowed to make any real policy (that’s done out of the White House) so he needs to find something to do.

2. He doesn’t want to be remembered in the Middle East as “the guy who coddled Bashar al-Assad.”

3. His efforts impress his Georgetown cocktail party friends.

4.  He actually listens to the advice of Israeli President Shimon Peres, who lacks power and is widely derided in Israel, but is fawned upon by naive Americans.

5. If he stays away from calamities like Iran negotiations, Egypt, North Korea and Syria he is less likely to be blamed for them.

6.  He still clings to the discredited theory of linkage, believing progress on the “peace talks” will solve the region’s other problems.

7.  He didn’t understand Hillary Clinton was being sarcastic when she said, “John, go for it! Spend the next couple of years running back and forth. That’ll be a good use of your time.”  (Hillary isn't stupid.  She stayed away from Israeli Peace Talks.  Didn't know she had said this to Kerry.........you can hear the sarcasm dripping from her statement!!!!)

8. Teresa likes shopping in Tel Aviv. (John's wife)

9.  To get the job, he promised President Obama he’d do the talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so Obama wouldn’t have to after one useless photo op trip to Israel. (This is probably very true!!!) 

10. He really has no clue what is going on there.

These are not mutually exclusive.

 

Peace in the Middle East?   NOT THIS YEAR!!!
