John Kerry the only Secretary of State in 20 years to fail at getting ceasefire in Middle East

John Kerry is such an epic failure as Secretary of State, he almost makes Hillary Clinton’s term successful (notice I said almost). Lurch is the only Secretary of State in the last twenty years to get a cease-fire agreement done in the Middle East. Yea, John Kerry id that pathetic. Maybe it’s time for Kerry to call up Hanoi Jane for some help.

In 1993, President Bill Clinton’s first Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, negotiated the Oslo Accords in which both Israel and Palestine took the monumental step of establishing the Palestinian Authority. Christopher’s successor, Madeleine Albright, brokered a peace deal in 1997 when violence again flared after a spate of suicide bombings and Israel’s refusal to surrender a portion of the West Bank.

George W. Bush’s Former Secretary of State Colin Powell negotiated a peace deal in 2003 which froze Israeli settlements. Sec. Condoleezza Rice negotiated a ceasefire between Hamas, the newly elected ruling party of the evacuated Gaza Strip, in 2008 when the terror network began firing rockets into Israeli territory.

Finally, Obama’s first chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton, led successful peace talks between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government in 2010 when hostilities again erupted over Jerusalem’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
