You'd think by now the obama administration would verify something before they commented on it...

But nooooo:

Quote:
A letter urging the Jews of Donetsk to get registered, which the US Secretary of State cited in Geneva, is a fake says a man whose signature appears on the communication.

In year 2014, after all of the miles traveled in all the journey of history, this is not just intolerable, it's grotesque… beyond unacceptable, he stated.
Letter to Jews, which Kerry cited, appears to be fake

It is alwasy easy to bash politicians, their primary expertise is getting elected, not managing government.

How did Kerry 'act on it' except to condemn it? Kerry never said this was an official communication. Jews in Donetsk did receive letters telling them to register -masked men handed them out outside their synagogue. This wasn't a "Ha! Ha! April Fools!" prank but was an attempt to intimidate the Jews and exacerbate the situation in Ukraine. No matter who wrote it the Jews in Ukraine are now in fear for their safety.

Well if it was not an official communication, why was he even commenting on it. He is on the
world stage. This isn't the time for chain letters.

You'd think even an idiot like Kerry would know better than to trust what he sees on CNN or MSNBC. Guess I overestimated the man.

In case you didn't know kerry is Secretary of State and he was on official business so ANYTHING he says is a reflection on the administration...

Face it, between kerry, biden and obama we have the three stooges...

Much of what is going on in Ukraine is not 'official' - men in masks saying they are Russians, Russians in masks saying they aren't Russians, 'patriots' seizing government buildings. Russia is using proxies to keep their hands clean and claim plausible deniability. Jews did receive letters telling then to register. With xenophobia and Russian-nationalism rampant in eastern Ukraine you can't just write that off as a harmless funny joke.

OK, I'll make the OP clear so even a third grader will understand it:

An official in the current government didn't bother to check any facts before making a statement...

Only fools talk first and check facts second...
