John Kerry

As for the one-man angle, I recall from other posts that FP has a tendency to favor intervention over less dramatic policies, so I think there might be more cooperation than the article lets on. In fact it seems aimed at creating a division where there isn't one, i.e. whispering like Iago into Obama's ear that Kerry is stealing his thunder. Right now it looks like I need to log on FP to read the full article, so I'm just going on past impressions, but as I recall they were keen on Libyan intervention, and here they're playing up the "red line" story, so they might have a dog in this race so to speak.
