U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry appeared to have flubbed his lines on Thursday, when he referred to areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority as a country, reported AFP.

Speaking at the United Nations ahead of talks with UN chief Ban Ki-moon, Kerry praised the "courageous decision" by Israeli and PA leaders to try to resume direct negotiations.

He then told reporters, "It's my hope that that will be able to happen as procedures are put in place by both countries in order to empower that.”

The final status of the areas controlled by the PA has yet to be determined and no Palestinian state has been established.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf assured reporters later that U.S. policy had not changed.

I didn’t flub his lines. It was a clear slap at The State of Israel.

Not a flub if a democrat does it.

Of course it was a flub! (wink, wink, nudge nudge) Like Obongo and his 57 states! Can you say Freudian slip?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Didn’t Kerry star in a movie entitled “Flubber”? If not, he should have. Would have kept him out of Cambodia during Christmas 1968 so that the So. Vietnamese Buddhists who were celebrating Xmas wouldn’t have shot at him.

To all the brilliant Senators who confirmed this buffoon: WTG, idiots!

Kerry is an absolute moron. My dog could do better as SecState than John F’ing Kerry.

Your dog would've made a better Swift Boat commander in Viet Nam, too.

That’s retarded, Sir!

He's been astoundingly STOOPID right out of the gate. I never realized how very dumb this guy is. It's terrifying to contemplate such a totally unqualified doofus in charge of such a sensitive tinderbox area. The imbeciles who confirmed him should be forced to live in the most vulnerable areas of Israel WITH their families. Then let's see how much they approve of him.

No, it was “nuanced”.

Thanks Nachum.

[Olog-hai]

Absolutely correct.

newly botox’d is still as dumb as a box of rocks like when he shot himself in the butt and called it a war wound.
