Reuters: Kerry says U.S. can 'neutralize' Islamic State quicker than it did al Qaeda

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday the United States has the ability to "neutralize" Islamic State much faster than it was able to do with al Qaeda.

"We are going to defeat Daesh. We always said it will take time," Kerry said, using an alternative name for the Islamist militant group.

"We began our fight against al Qaeda in 2001 and it took us quite a few years before we were able to eliminate Osama bin Laden and the top leadership and neutralize them as an effective force. We hope to do Daesh much faster than that and we think we have an ability to do that," he told reporters.

WNU Editor: Al Qaeda is neutralized ?!?!?!?! On Wednesday John Kerry said the following .... John Kerry: There Was A 'Legitimacy' Or 'Rationale' To The Charlie Hebdo Attack Unlike The Paris Attacks .... and now he is telling us that Al Qaeda is neutralized. It looks like the U.S. Secretary of State is suffering from exhaustion.

So, if I pull the top of a weed off, but not its root, I can consider that weed neutralized.

Well "Gawwww-leeeee" "Shazam!" Problems solved!

No need to be polite especially in the last year of this terrible administration.

Maybe Kerry is trying to get pulled from an impossible job.

That would be a covert way of getting it done, but still say you are a team player.
