And I call on Prime Minister Zapatero to reconsider his decision and to send a message that terrorists cannot win by their acts of terror.
John Kerry
The Public Record
John Kerry is a prominent Democratic politician from Massachusetts who served as the 68th Secretary of State from February 2013 to January 2017 under President Barack Obama. Prior to his role as Secretary of State, Kerry was a United States Senator, representing Massachusetts from January 1985 until June 2013. During his time in the Senate, he was known for his work on foreign relations, environmental issues, and healthcare reform. He played a significant role in the negotiation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in addressing global challenges.
And on each and every one of them, this administration has yet to level with the American people.
I met more leaders who can't go out and say it all publicly, but boy, they look at you and say, you've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy...
Kerry met with Sharpton today and says they both share many concerns.
George Bush is running on the same old Republican tactics. Of fear. And those tactics are already getting tired.
On the war on terror, weakened the Patriot Act used to arrest terrorists and protect America, and he wanted to delay defending America until the United Nations approved.
I think is also raises issues about whether the Superfund site list is adequate and whether we cannot afford to put more on.
I have no intention whatsoever of apologizing for my remarks. I think the -- I think the Republicans need to start talking about the real issues before the country.
There is a Republican attack squad that specializes in trying to destroy people and be negative. I think the president needs to talk about the real priorities of our country.
These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen.
Ladies and gentlemen, it has to be getting lonely for George Bush. It seems he's the last person left in America who actually believes his failed policies will ever work.
I think George Bush has run the most ardent, inept, reckless and ideological foreign policy in the modern history of our country.
These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group that I've ever seen.
His stubborn leadership has led America steadily in the wrong direction.
If the president wants to have a debate a month on just one subject, and we go around the country, I think that would be a great idea. Let's go do it.
And if the president of the United States can find the time to go to a rodeo, he can find the time to do more than one hour in front of a commission that is investigating what happened to America's intelligence and why we are not stronger…
He has run the most arrogant, inept, reckless, ideological foreign policy in the modern history of our country.
He thought that he could stand up in front of that sign that says 'Mission Accomplished.' And he thought none of you would notice what's really happening in America. But we do -- 21,000 jobs in one month, another broken promise.
This president has, in fact, created terrorists where they didn't exist. And I believe this president has run the most arrogant, inept, reckless and ideological foreign policy in the modern history of our country. And we need to hold him…
God, when November comes, George Bush is going, we're coming. And don't let the door hit you on the way out, folks.
So I think there is a significant difference in my preparedness, my readiness to be president of the United States.
