Gaffe-prone John Kerry suggests governing war-torn Libya is as easy as running Massachusetts

War-torn African country Libya could get back on track if it wanted to, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested on Thursday.

Kerry insinuated that it shouldn't be too hard for Libya and its population of just over six million people given the country's small size and wealth of resources.

After all, Libya's roughly the same size as his home state of Massachusetts, the former Senator said.

'I know something about what you can provide when you want to.'

And the U.S. Media can’t figure out why Russia’s Lavrov, and the rest of the world just laugh in this guy’s face, can they....

and he thinks Procol Harum is a terrorist group. By the way, he served in Vietnam.

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck being Secretary of State.”

'I know something about what you can provide when you want to.'

He went on to recommend that Libya fake some war injuries and then marry a creepy old rich broad. "I don't know, somebody like Eritrea or something... I think they might be rich... not sure."

I nominate John Kerry to go try.

For a whole four month and don’t you forget it

Maybe Obama & Kerry can prop up another Muslim Brotherhood government.

They might be more successful in Lybia since most of the country belongs to one islamic extremest organization or another.

After all, Libya's roughly the same size as his home state of Massachusetts, the former Senator said.

For the record, Libya's almost 100 times the size of Massachussetts:

• Mass - 7,840 sq mi
• Libya - 679,358 sq mi

No. I would not want him running things there.

There are actually some nice people in Massachusetts...

[clintonh8r]

Just think of him as a guy living off of his wife’s dead husband’s fortune....or Joe Biden with a Vietnam Service ribbon....

C'mon, John put your thinking cap on and try real hard to think of differences between Massachusetts and Libya.

Libya is governed by Muslim extremists? Very good, John. You can now wear your happy hat.

Kerry is a moron

I’ll bet Manny Ortiz gets a big kick out of this.

Hey, J F’n K - In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a big difference between running Massachusetts and running for election in Massachusetts. You’ve only done the latter.
