More quotes by John F. Kerry
War on terror is far less of a military operation and far more of an intelligence-gathering, law-enforcement operation.
John F. Kerry
Glossed over the disastrous war and its multibillion-dollar price tag and implied again that our presence in Iraq is somehow improving the situation in that chaotic and turbulent country. The Congress must stand up against Bush's plan to escalate the war.
John F. Kerry
I'm not going to put my energy into focusing on things that are hypothetical that we don't know.
John F. Kerry
Great challenges confront our great nation. We seek to meet them by rising to the task, not by defining our country down.
John F. Kerry
I'm not insensitive to the jobs. I'm desperately concerned about those jobs. But you don't fix them by pandering to people and telling them you're going to shut the door. You have to grow jobs.
John F. Kerry
What we Americans need to do is respect that incredible blessing that we have as a nation and make sure that we are leading in the best ways possible.
John F. Kerry
I mean, all of these things that [Bashar Assad] has done, there's no way even if President Obama wanted to just play along that you could actually achieve peace, because there are 65 million Sunni in between Baghdad and the border of Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, who will never, ever again accept Assad as a member - as a legitimate leader.
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
America has everything most countries envy. A Constitution which is the treasure of mankind, a strong military, natural resources of every kind. Above all, as Tocqueville said, a good people, which is what makes us great.
John F. Kerry
We will not be derailed by criminal anarchists who legitimately claim a religious cause.
John F. Kerry
I just want to assure you that both President Bush and I have very firm alibis.
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
I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service.
John F. Kerry
Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman.
John F. Kerry
I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did. I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium...
John F. Kerry
I am not a spokesperson for the church and the church is not a spokesperson for the United States of America.
John F. Kerry
America is the one that leads the effort to make sure the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea is protected.
John F. Kerry
Violence has to end. And Israelis have a bright to defend themselves against any violence that is attacking innocent people with a knife in the old city in Jerusalem or elsewhere. No country should be under siege like that.
John F. Kerry
It's hard to believe that in the greatest democracy in the world, we need legislation to prevent the government from writing and paying for the news.
John F. Kerry
We deserve a president of the United States who will write laws for all Americans, not for campaign contributors. And I intend to be a president for all Americans who takes back the flag of our country because it doesn't belong to any party, doesn't belong to any president.
John F. Kerry
