Hot mic catches John Kerry's reaction to Gaza: "Hell of a pinpoint operation" http://huff.to/1rudX8V

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry sounded exasperated during a candid moment between interviews on Sunday as he discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza with an off-camera aide, apparently unaware he was still being recorded.

"It's a hell of a pinpoint operation. It's a hell of a pinpoint operation," Kerry said to the aide. "We've got to get over there ... I think, John, we ought to go tonight. I think it's crazy to be sitting around."

1. This is indeed good news

The official speak from Kerry and other Democratic operatives is frightening. Maybe the worm has finally turned.

3. i kind of wonder if he knew and wanted it to be heard

he has been around long enough to know what you say just before and after going on air could be caught.

5. We can hope

4. Even if so, it would only be this small most recent worm.

The larger worm will continue crawling unchanged.

But, I don't think even the current worm is yet turning. I think Israel is set to expand its ground invasion and occupy Gaza indefinitely. I hope I'm wrong, but this one seems like it it just getting started.

6. As long as Bibi and his allies are in power

you may be right.

2. K&R! He showed in this (certainly manufactured) catching,

humanity and compassion. Plus, unlike many RWers, he knows what are the cost and the suffering of both parties in a war...
And they will try , as always, to turn it into a Kerry-bashing non story .....
