John Kerry: We Must Take Action To Safeguard Lives

WASHINGTON (WNB) - As radical Islamic forces continue to rapidly overtake Iraq, Secretary of State John Kerry gave an impassioned speech today about the dire threat facing the world.

"Our country and the world must take immediate and decisive action to safeguard the lives and welfare of literally millions of people," said Kerry. "At the rate we're going, climate change could conceivably raise the temperature of the oceans to a point where the additional sweat from overheating fish will make the oceans too salty to sustain life. We must act - now." 

Later, when asked about the situation in Iraq, Kerry replied, "We're closely monitoring the effect on the climate and fish in the area."
