War on terror is far less of a military operation and far more of an intelligence-gathering, law-enforcement operation.

More quotes by John F. Kerry
I know that our country is strongest when we lead the world, when we lead strong alliances. And that's the way Eisenhower and Reagan and Kennedy and others did it.
John F. Kerry
Three-quarters of [Bashar Assad] country is displaced. It's in Jordan, it's in Lebanon, it's in Turkey, and in the desert. The threat is that those people in the desert and others could become the next acolytes of ISIL if we don't find a way to join together to go after ISIL.
John F. Kerry
It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote.
John F. Kerry
In a few years, you should be able to plug your American-made plug-in hybrid into the outlet in your garage, so that you never use a drop of gas on your daily commute. This won't happen overnight, but I promise you, it is closer than you think.
John F. Kerry
You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text.
John F. Kerry
If the threat is jihadism - and it is - and the threat is the destruction of Syria so that all of these refugees are swamping into Europe and changing the whole character and politics of Europe, this is the time to unite to find a way out.
John F. Kerry
America that has done more to support Israel than any other country cannot be true to our own values if we allow a viable two-state solution to be destroyed before our own eyes.
John F. Kerry
What is happening is policy in Israel is being driven by the settlers who don't support a two-state solution, who want their settlements to prevent the possibility of two states. They openly say that.
John F. Kerry
No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats who did.
John F. Kerry
There's an agreement that Syria should be a unified country, united that it needs to be secular that ISIL needs to be taken on and that there needs to be a managed transition, but there is a difference obviously in what that means and what that outcome may or may not be.
John F. Kerry
Thank you very much for contacting me to express your support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. From the outset of the invasion, I have strongly and unequivocally supported President Bush's response to the crisis and the policy goals he has established with our military deployment in the Persian Gulf.
John F. Kerry
Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.
John F. Kerry
Unlike George Bush and his friends at the big oil companies, I'm going to work for a real energy policy for this country that decreases America's dependence on foreign oil and helps lower the costs to American families.
John F. Kerry
If you don't have two states, you have one state, already the non-Jewish population outnumbers the Jewish population in one state.
John F. Kerry
We're in a battle for our lives for things that really matter to us. There's a shell game going on like I've never seen before.
John F. Kerry
When I was in Vietnam I learned a lot about the promises that soldiers make to each other. The Marines have a promise to never leave behind their dead. In this country, as citizen soldiers, we need to make the commitment to each other that we will never leave our veterans behind.
John F. Kerry
I will never conduct a war or start a war because we want to the United States of America should only go to war because we have to. And if you live by that guidance, you'll never have veterans throwing away their medals or standing up in protest.
John F. Kerry
We should focus more on the things we've accomplished, but I mean, obviously Syria disturbs me greatly and I'm not happy with where Syria is.
John F. Kerry
[Bashar] Assad has made a series of choices ever since then that is literally destroying his country.
John F. Kerry
Think about this: terrorism, epidemics, poverty, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction-all challenges that know no borders-the reality is that climate change ranks right up there with every single one of them.
John F. Kerry
