On John Kerry’s first international trip as U.S. Secretary of State he made a gaffe worthy of Joe Biden. The headline of London’s Telegraph read “John Kerry invents country of Kyrzakhstan”and the Daily Mail asked “Where’s that exactly, Mr Secretary of State? John Kerry makes up new country ‘Kyrzakhstan.”
But more than just fodder for the British press, Kerry’s blunder exposes the truth that he is not the expert on international affairs that the mainstream media, Obama Administration and J Street all vehemently claimed.
And at this time, when Kerry created Kyrzakhstan out of thin air, there is no time like the present to remind Kerry and the rest of the denizens of Foggy Bottom that “Palestine” and “East Jerusalem” are just as mythical as “Kyrzakhstan.”
Let’s recall what actor, comedian and pundit Larry Miller (Pretty Woman, The Nutty Professor and The Princess Diaries) wrote in an April 2002 essay titled “Whosoever Blesses Them: The Intifada and its Defenders” for The Weekly Standard (it went viral and by mistake was almost always credited to Dennis Miller):
“The Palestinians want their own country. There’s just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It’s a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like 'Wiccan', 'Palestinian' sounds ancient , but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, and there were no 'Palestinians' then, and the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no 'Palestinians' then. As soon as the Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the 'Palestinians,' weeping for their deep bond with their lost 'land' and 'nation.' ....”

So are most things out of Lurch’s mouth.
Famed Red Sox baseball player Manny Ortiz is in fact a native of Kyrzakhstan.
He has a right to be stupid.
In fact he’s the Rosa Parks of stupid.
yet again another dumb comment by a Dem and yet again the lap dog corrupt media will ignore this and cover for their party whilst trying to tell the country they;re not biased
One might recall Kerry’s participation in the secret war in Cambodia that President Nixon waged in 1968.
Punish him with a baby.
None of the lame-stream media, in any of the “57 states” will cover this story. Imagine if this were the Secretary of State under G.W. - - the media would be having a field day.
I don’t know how Kerry got a reputation for being an expert in foreign service unless it was for bargaining with the Viet Cong in Paris or betraying us with Chavez in Argentina.
Not backing our Ally Britain on the Falklands and supporting the Contra’s when they caused trouble.
If that makes him an expert , it is that he is an expert at doing everything wrong.
Kerry created Kyrzakhstan out of thin air, just like he created his expeditions into Cambodia and the Purple Heart war wounds he received when he SERVED in Vietnam. Kerry=Jane Fonda except for the Jock Strap.
Kerry served in Vietnam? I never knew that! I wonder why he never mentioned it when he was running for president?
Who is this author to refute the ingenious, highly cultured duck hunter who served in Vietnam?
Kyrzakhstan exists. Kerry was sent there illegally on a secret military mission and that night is SEARED in his memory.
In 1968, on orders from then-President Nixon.
I didn’t know Jane Fonda had a jock strap.
He found a tennis court in the middle of all that?
Is that between Ooozbekistan and Bekooozistan?
