ISLAMABAD: Even though US Secretary of State John Kerry succeeded in brokering a deal to resolve the deadlock over the Afghan presidential election run-off, confusion still persists about the proposal of forming a “government of national unity”.

On July 12, Kerry announced the agreement in the presence of both rivals Dr Ashraf Ghani and Dr Abdullah Abdullah in Kabul. “The winner of the election will serve as the president and will immediately form a government of national unity,” said Kerry.

There’s actually something I agree with. Even better, he should go try and play basketball for the Wizards.

No, I think Kerry is pretty much taking confusion with him on his next adventures.

“anywhere John Kerry...confusion”.

Isn’t it time to cut Secretary Kerry some slack? After all he did have to fill some mighty large panties when he took over as SOS!

Kerry served in Vietnam. He won three Purple Hearts for falling off a boat while docked. (Satire.)

Rush’s calls him Lurch. An apt description.

Oh, did you know that Kerry served in Vietnam. For about a week or so. He was discharged after winning (suffering) 3 Purple Hearts.

Putting Kerry head of State was actually a brilliant move .

How better to make Hillary look half way competent
