'Ole Wise One'
This is the Man that has the keys to the State Department... Unbelievable... This is what the SoS said in Bangladesh Monday of this week... No wonder "W" kicked his ass...
Back in the U.S., Kerry was criticized for an off-hand comment he made Monday in Bangladesh suggesting the media reduce coverage of terrorist attacks. That prompted clarifications from the White House and State Department in Washington
In a speech in Bangladesh, which like India has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks, Kerry made an oft-noted point that violent extremism is a scourge that must be fought 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
But, diverging from his prepared remarks, he then added: "But if you decide one day you're going to be a terrorist and you're willing to kill yourself, you can go out and kill some people. You can make some noise. Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn't cover it quite as much. People wouldn't know what's going on."
