John Kerry, The United States' new face of American foreign policy will be challenged day one to sort out the mess left by his predecessor. Whether global haters were saying goodbye to Hillary or saying hello to John may not clear a the moment, but its a certainty that American interest and image abroad remain under a sustained attack. Western intervention in Northern Africa is apparently heightening anger and galvanizing factions to focus retribution on softer and more vulnerable targets.
John Kerry will have little time for anything more than but a quick assessment of the America's vunrrablilties and an even quicker prioritization of what can be fortified and what must be jettisoned. Intelligence gathering and the intelligent interpretation of that intelligence will be crucial to Mr. Kerry's success. Any failures to recognize impending threats will be savaged domestically as the GOP will smell blood.
Vowing to hold Chuck Hagel's confirmation for Defense Secretary in limbo until CIA Chief Leon Panetta and Joints Chief of Staff Martin Dempsey can be dragged before a Congressional firing squad, is evident the "Benghazi Incident" will be the blueprint for eviscerating the Obama administration over any and every issue involving mishap or misstep that can be remotely be determined a breach of security.
Fully aware the prolonging of Hagel's confirmation will delay critical budget considerations and erode readiness, the GOP found another sharp edge to play with and they'll be eager to stick it to the Obama administration every time they can.
Kerry to Clinton: Thanks for Nothing!
