In reply to the discussion: Robert Reich Believes It Is SoS John Kerry Sounding The War Drums of Syria. [View all]Cha
(298,247 posts)10. That was my reaction. Reich is on a
pissy little tear. It says more about him than SOS Kerry.
Me thinks RR is projecting..
"but he has a fatal flaw. He craves the limelight. He wants to be in the center of the action and attention. Over the years I heard again and again from his Senate colleagues that Kerry grandstanded and wanted all the credit, said things that would get him on the evening news, pushed too fast and too far in order to make his mark."
And, this.. shows how ignorant he really is.
"..and has convinced the President to stake much of his second-term presidency on it."
Like PBO doesn't make his own decisions and that he's "staking" anything. gawd he sounds stupid.
Thank you for busting out some facts, PS, in response to Reich's psychobabble..

Then you must agree that links about Clinton's foreign military adventures are utterly irrelevant.
