US Senator says 'this was necessary'
2011-03-17
[Geo News] Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, the Senate's current foreign policy expert, filling the vacated wingtips of Joe Biden...
on Wednesday pledged to strengthen United States' relationship with Pakistain, hours after a Pak court set Raymond Davis free when families of victims forgave the CIA contractor in a compensation arrangement for late January killings.
Playing that you actually won in 2004, Senator Kerry?
"This was a very important and necessary step for both of our countries to be able to maintain our relationship and remain focused on progress on bedrock national interests," the senator said in a statement.
Look at the concepts the man thinks he understands! It would be cute, were he not old enough to retire.
A court in Lahore first charged Davis for killing two Paks on January 27 and then aquitted him when the family of victims said they had no objection to his release after the compensation arrangement.

Kerry said he was deeply grateful for the Pak decision.

"As I said last month in my visits to Lahore and Islamabad, we deeply regret the loss of life that led to this difficulty in our relationship and the demonstrations on Pakistain's streets, but neither country could afford for this tragedy to derail our vital relationship.

"We look forward to working with Pakistain to strengthen our relationship and confront our common challenges," added the senator, who visited Pakistain in the days following the shooting in a bid to calm rising tensions.
That there was a Royal We if ever there was one. A pity he speaks for no one but himself, and that poorly.

#1  Kerry grandstands on his behalf every chance he gets. Democratic principle: "Don't let a crisis go to waste."
