Unserious Men
John Kerry has officially joined the ranks of the non-serious. His foreign policy is now more laughable than that of Pat Buchanan or Michael Badnarik.
Follow along with me on these memorable John Kerry quotes. The Vietnam era quote is merely for flavor, as I am willing to accept the possibility that someone can change completely in 30 years.
“How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake” - John Kerry, speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, April 22, 1971.
“It’s the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time” - John Kerry, Cleveland, September 6, 2004.
Kerry has referred to the present coalition in Iraq as the “coalition of the bribed and intimidated”.
Kerry’s own sister is in Australia telling Australians that PM John Howard has put them in danger by supporting the US in Iraq.
Kerry’s chief advisor Joe Lockhart has even gone so far as to imply that Iyad Allawi (the PM of the provisional government of Iraq) is a puppet of the U.S.
So, given all this, how can we take John Kerry seriously when he tells us he will bring allies on board? After he has essentially called the allies we do have cowards? After he has told the people of countries that support us that their support has put them in harm’s way?
The question for Mr. Kerry is now this: How do you bribe a Frenchman to endanger his homeland for the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time?
As I said, not serious.
