“Much as the strike may (or may not) weaken the Syrian armed forces and diminish its military capabilities, Kerry’s capacity to be an effective secretary of state for the reminder of President Barack Obama’s term may have been seriously ‘degraded’ already. The point is, over three full eventful years still remain in Obama’s presidency and three years is a lot time in politics. Kerry’s tragedy is that he is being called upon to defend an indefensible brief. Three major gaffes within the space of a week is a terrible record for a top diplomat to pile up under any circumstances.”
