John Kerry headed to Pakistan

I have to admit, I have always liked John Kerry. I think he would have been a great President. I can see him being the next Secretary of State. He represents this country well, so hopefully when he goes to Pakistan, he can help repair the relationship.

Sen. John Kerry is headed to Pakistan in hopes of mending relations with the government that have become increasingly frayed since the U.S. raid over the last week.

Kerry will be the first U.S. official to visit the country since the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman said Tuesday that he plans to meet with “all the main players” in Pakistan. “A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue going about the aftermath, and how we get on the right track,” he said, Reuters and AFP reported.

Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, did not announce when he will make the trip to Pakistan, but he had already announced that he plans to visit Afghanistan this weekend several days ago.

“We have a huge agenda, we have huge interests that are very important to try to be on track, right, and there’s a lot to discuss,” he said of Pakistan.

In addition to his key role on foreign relations in the Senate, Kerry has been rumored for years to be angling to be next in line to be secretary of state.
