LAHORE, Pakistan – U.S. Sen. John Kerry promised the Pakistani people Tuesday that a jailed U.S. embassy worker will be subjected to a U.S. criminal investigation if he is released by the Pakistani government.

Kerry also expressed regret for the deaths of two Pakistani men in an apparent attempt to smooth over relations with the important ally in the war against extremists and al-Qaeda while still insisting that the American needs to be released.

First, Kerry goes on MTP to discuss the Egyptian crisis. Now, he goes to Pakistan. Looks like H! may be on her way out.

Wonder if it's voluntary.

"I want to come here today to express our deepest regret for this tragic event and to express the sorrow of the American people for the loss of life that has taken place," he said.

Speak for yourself, Johnny.

I have no doubt that Obama sent him to do the required arse kissing. It’s his modus operandi.

20 bucks Jean Francois is winging this without checking in with Hillary. I hope to God he takes over for her. I cannot stand seeing that damn fool on the ballot every six years.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry promised the Pakistani people Tuesday that a jailed U.S. embassy worker will be subjected to a U.S. criminal investigation Who is he to promise this? Again fighting against a US citizen. I have no idea if this guy is guilty, I somewhat think not if Kerry wants him criminally charged for the "people" of Pakistan. How infuriating this is.Is it just me?

“Looks like H! may be on her way out.”

I think that this was part of the plan from the beginning. Keep her close where she can’t cause any trouble but give her a high profile job so that if something goes wrong you get to blame her. Or, sack her sometime in the future for some indiscretion,hyped or not, that damages her reputation and/or standing.
Obama may be facing some competition from Dems in 2012 and the one who could do him the most damage is H.

Lurch to the rescue.

Does everyone know John Forbes served in Vietnam?

Well for 4 months of coures, but after all, he had more "pressing" matters to address so why stick around for his full tour?

PLUS, he had 3 Purple Hearts dontcha know?

I'm not surprised Dear Leader would send him to negotiate with our adversaries (the Moozie Pakis ain't our allys or friends) as he has experience in having negotiated with both the No. Vietnamese and VC, in Paris during the War, thereby violating the Logan Act.

Both he and Jane Fonda elicit the same visceral reaction whenever I hear their names or see their faces.

IF I live to be 100 I'll never forgive/forget that bottom-feeding, Scumbag, TRAITOR, for what he did to all my Bros and Sister, Nam Vets.

God may forgive him but I won't!

He needs to start out by saying, “Don’t you people know who I am?”
