How did John Kerry switch from dove to hawk so quickly?

He came out of Vietnam committed to keeping America's military out of every possible foreign engagement, and now The Secretary of State (America's top diplomat) is beating the war drums. How did he switch so fast?

    Because the left's progressivist puppet masters insist that the administration reigns in Syria for them at all costs.

    I have no idea. I'm not shocked or anything, he is a politician, but I can't say that I would've predicted it.

    My guess is that he's thinking about running for president again, and he wants to be able to say that he can take a tough stand on foreign policy, to try to win over the more conservative elements of the independents and the moderates.

    Or maybe he's just a crazy, evil dumb@ss.

    money the top three are McCain at about half a billion

    Kerry at $400,000* and then Hillary who broke records getting $328 mill in 6 years.

    Cost money to run a big boat like he got and dodged the taxes on, but can you blame him why pay half a million when he can dock it up the road and pay nothing. Wonder if that was legal.

    Secretary Kerry seems to be deceitful and maybe a sleeper agent. During John Kerry's candidacy in the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, a political issue that gained widespread public attention was Kerry's Vietnam war record. In television advertisements and a book called Unfit for Command, co-authored by John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), a 527 group later known as the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, questioned details of his military service record and circumstances relating to the award of his combat medals.

    "The C.F.R. is one of the most powerful simi-offical groups concerned with America's role in international affairs. It is controlled by an elect group of men recruited from the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key societies of Harvard and Yale, which are up the Executive Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations after undergoing initiation into the Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society. The Council on Foreign Relations is in off-shoot sister organization to the British Royal Institute of International Affairs. There goal is a New World Order. Although it existed as a dinner dub in New York, it did not take on its present power until 1921, when it merged with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and received its financial base from J.P.Morgan, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller family, and other Wall Street banking interest. The Council on Foreign Relations controls our government. Through the years its members have infiltrated the entire executive branch, State Department, Justice Department, CIA, and top ranks of the military. Every director of the Central Intelligence Agency has been a member of the CFR. Most U.S. Presidents since Roosevelt have been members. The members of the CFR dominate ownership of the press and most, if not all, of America's top journalists are members. The CFR does not conform to government policy. The government conforms to CFR policy." - quote in Behold a Pale Horse by Milton William (Bill) Cooper was an American conspiracy theorist, radio broadcaster, and author best known for his 1991 book Behold a Pale Horse, in which he warned of multiple global conspiracies. Cooper claimed an elaborate conspiracy theory that encompasses the Kennedy assassination, the doings of the secret world government, the coming ice age, and a variety of other covert activities associated with the Illuminati's declaration of war upon the people of America.

    The symbol of the Skull and Bones is that of the Jolly Roger, the logo of privacy. Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents.

    Feigning ignorance is an effective tactic that manipulates the person confronting the behavior into having doubts about the legitimacy of the issue they’re trying to bring to the other person’s attention.

    "I'm going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there's an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened."- George W. Bush on what he hopes to accomplish with his memoir, as reported by the Associated Press, Calgary, Canada, March 17, 2009

    "Don't taze me bro!" - Andrew Meyer yelled this after questioning John Kerry about his fraternity he shared with Bush at Yale known as the skull and bones.
