I haven't heard any discussion of some particularly radical remarks by Kerry in the debate. First and foremost, he outlined his plan for Iran, which was to give the Mullahs the nuclear fuel they want and see if they use it peacefully under international supervision. That is exactly the plan that failed in North Korea and I can't imagine anyone wanting to give nuclear materials to the World's number one state sponsor of terrorism.
Second, Kerry made a number of not too veiled accusations that the Iraq war was a grab for oil. He said the first thing our troops did in Bagdhad was to secure the Oil Ministry building, and he made a later statement that suggested we should renounce any interest in Iraqi oil.
Third, Kerry complained that we are building bases in Iraq that "look permanent" and he said he wants to make it clear we will have no bases in Iraq. The U.S. can't say it wants bases now, but once invited by the Iraqis, only a fool would turn down basing rights next to Iran and Syria. Kerry was at times sounding very much like the peacenik who wants us totally out of the Middle East.
Also, I know that Kerry was asked early on if the war in Iraq was a "mistake." He said of course it wasn't. But then later he had his quote about the invasion of Iraq being a mistake. In fact, Kerry spent the whole night saying we shouldn't have attacked for a wide range of reasons, but then he also kept making it sound as though he would have attacked a few months later.
I think his remarks about giving Iran nuclear fuel should be played up in particular. And why would he renounce bases if offered by a new ally in an absolutely vital region?
hehe, today seems to be the worse...
Wait until you start typing 'the' as 'teh' that's the final terminal stage of typo demon infection.
I must have been totally infected. Had to write a report for the boss, and you should have seen the misspellings, and "the" did end up as "teh"
You are correct, Thanks Zav
It does bleed over into other words that start with 'the' like 'they', 'there', and 'these'.
Is this the artillery you wanted?
Photobucket is having issues again.
It was the BIG rail gun
yeah, they do...I am so ashamed to get a comnunal issue
I know, it was that huge rail gun with the crowd standing on it.
Sometimes you can pawn the typo demon off onto someone else for a little while.
LET'S FACE IT FOLKS....SKERRY IS THE WORST KIND OF TRAITOR!!! With folks like him....who needs border control...lets just give our enemies carte blanche to America...
1971 - Says we should give North Vietnam everything they want
1986 - Says we should give Nicaragua everything they want
2004 - Says we should give North Korea everything they want
2004 - Says we should give Iran everything they want
And these people have the nerve to say that Bush's foreign policy is simplistic?
