It is trying to rein in Kerry somewhat, according to officials, which is difficult considering Kerry has spent almost half his tenure so far in the air or on the road, from where his most dissonant policy statements have come.<\/p>\n<p>The White House quickly distanced itself from both Kerry\u2019s North Korea remarks and has now, since President Barack Obama\u2019s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Northern Ireland this past week, seen up close the strength of Moscow\u2019s resistance to Kerry\u2019s Syria strategy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, who is surprised? Certainly not me. John Kerry has been making promises since he went to Paris to talk to the North Vietnamese while he was still a commissioned officer in the Navy Reserve and tried to negotiate with the enemy to release prisoners of war &#8211; making promises he couldn&#8217;t keep.
