Kerry and the ayatollahs

As Sen. John Kerry expands his lead in the Democratic presidential primaries, he is coming under fire for his conciliatory statements about the government of Iran and his attacks on the Bush administration's policy toward the regime. Ever since the Iranian Revolution occurred during Jimmy Carter's presidency a quarter-century ago, Tehran has been hostile to the United States and one of the world's leading supporters of terrorism -- providing funding, weapons, training and safe haven to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and even al Qaeda. But Mr. Kerry seems to believe that the crux of the problem isn't Iran's despotic, violent rulers, but President Bush's behavior toward them.

Kerry is not only a stupid empty suit, but a danger to America.

Michael Moore can be his Attorney General, and Dennis Kucinich his Secretary of State.

Kerry's got a lock on the Islamist vote.

"It is incomprehensible and unacceptable that this administration refuses to broker an arrangement with Iran," Mr. Kerry declared. "The Bush administration stubbornly refuses to conduct a realistic, non-confrontational policy with Iran."

Why do you need to have an arrangement with Iran, when all you need to do is camp out next door with a couple of armored divisions until the dissidents revolt? Kerry is a strategic idiot.

Kerry is not only a stupid empty suit, but a danger to America.

This bears repeating: Kerry is not only a stupid empty suit, but a danger to America.

I understand that Kerry took an Airbus to Paris and met with a representative of the Ayatollas in an effort to persuade them not to turn over Osama before the election.

"Why, Senator? Why and how could a man of your honor and valor disregard the suffering people of a nation and appease a brutal regime?" the group asked in a Feb. 19 open letter to Mr. Kerry

Question your assumptions my Iranian brothers and sisters.

There's 8 months more of stupidity to be mouthed by Kerry. The coming of McGovern II.
