NBC:John Kerry Meets With Mideast Players on Iraqi Crisis

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/iraq-turmoil/john-kerry-meets-mideast-players-iraqi-crisis-n141676

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met Thursday with foreign ministers from its Sunni state allies — Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — to discuss how to confront the growing turmoil spawned by a Sunni Muslim insurgency group in Iraq. Kerry also met earlier Thursday with the Sunni former prime minister of Lebanon.

The Obama administration hopes that Iraq's Sunni neighbors — notably Jordan and Saudi Arabia — will use their cross-border tribal networks to bolster the security militias with financing or weapons to curb the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's forces.

This guy sound to be trying every diplomatic option to delay as long as possible a military (non) solution... He was really mistaken in 2002, but he obviously learned from that mistake. And don't forget he was AGAINST INTERVENTION BACK THEN if WMDs were no found. Imagine what a Rep. SoS would be doing presently? Nothing. They would be already USA's boots on Iraq's ground.
