Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Fox's hot mic catches Kerry remark on Israel-Gaza conflict
[AJC] Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
was recorded taking a phone call before a Fox News interview Sunday seemingly criticizing the Israeli government for its action in Gazoo.

KERRY: It's a hell of a pinpoint operation...We've got to get over there... I think its crazy to be sitting around."

Kerry lined up interviews with several Sunday shows and his first was with Chris Wallace of Fox.

During the televised part of the interview, Wallace played back the hot mic recording to an unsuspecting Kerry who emphasized that the U.S. did support Israel's actions, despite his seemingly sarcastic comment about the IDF's "pinpoint operation."

After weeks of those air strikes in retaliation to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rocket attacks, Israel has now sent troops into Gazoo in a ground assault but has promised to keep its action limited.

The Washington Post wrote Kerry was likely referencing this promise with the "pinpoint operation" comment.

Kerry did not confirm to Wallace that he was indeed traveling to Israel on Sunday night, as he had suggested in the hot mic recording. But in a later interview with CBS, Kerry said he would.

Perhaps he was not referring to the Israelis.

#3  A scripted and intentional "gaffe"?

#4  Well, these kind of tunnels are deep into the borders of Israel.

#5  And to think, he was almost elected POTUS.

#6  imho a totally contrived video op to give the appearance of "touch with the situation" in spite of results that prove otherwise.

#7  I'm thinking that Kerry and the administration are deeply antisemitic.

#8  At least Kerry did scold Candy Crowley for supporting Hamas' propaganda campaign.

#9  Excellent work Fox. Mic's are best left on before and after the actual speaking events. That's when the real speaker speaks their true feelings about the topic.

#10  Gotta get over there ... Before Hamas is destroyed.
