(59,944 posts)4. You know - there was a point where I worried in the very brief periods
where Kerry was even close to being a DU hero on some issue. Look at the heroes they have chosen. There are some that really are impressive - like Warren - but we know from experience how quickly they are dropped like hot potatoes if they take any stand that is not exactly what people here want.
Seriously, Alan Grayson has been their most consistent hero on Syria -- and they had no problem with him claiming credit for the agreement that KERRY negotiated. This while they say Kerry gets no credit because it was an accident. Not to mention, the logic in not allowing backtracking by either Russia or Syria - at this early period - is important.
