If U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ever needs a new job, he could find himself at home in Afghanistan.

After a recent diplomatic visit to the country, Kerry was hailed as a hero and a great politician, so much so, that some Afghans wished he would run for president.

“John Kerry is the greatest American and the best friend of Afghanistan. He helped prevent this country from going to civil war two times,” 29-year-old Kabul shopkeeper Maqsood Parwani told NBC news. “I wish if we could elect him as our president, but we cannot so hope the American people elect him as their president.”

While in Afghanistan, Kerry helped end the drawn-out Afghani presidential election, which had previously reached a stalemate. After two days of talks, Kerry helped convince the two presidential hopefuls, Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, to agree to a U.N supervised recount of the vote.

The election marked the first time in history that the country’s power has been democratically transferred. But rather than a successful election and a peaceful transfer of powers, as both Afghanistan and the United States had hoped for, allegations of voter fraud preceded the June 14 vote....

LOL! I was gonna say the same thing based on his kite surfin’ and guitar pickin’ he’d make an admirable (p)resident of Auf-gone-i-stahn. Much like Jhen-gizz-khan would have.

I don’t know which would be a better outcome for America: should John Kerry be allowed to be President of Afghanistan and destroy their economy and law enforcement capabilities, or should the Taliban just stone Kerry to death for being a metrosexual? Choices, choices.

That duct tape covering Dennis Rodmans mouth must be about to slip off again. Maybe Dennis is trying to convince North Korean Krazy Kim to accept a few thousand lice infested Central Americans, in search of a free ride.

If they want Kerry, see if they’ll agree to accept Hillary and Obama as a
Package deal.

My guess is that most Freepers also feel the same way.

Certain Afghans are dreaming of SecState John F’ing Kerry as their favorite sex toy because he's better than sheep or goats.

I really despise John Kerry, but I suppose they could do worse, and probably will.

He’d be better than just about anyone from there. According to the Afghanistan Constitution he’d have to declare an islamic oath.
