Kerry Says He Will Repair Damage [Kerry writes Islamic Republic's English Newspaper]
Tehran Times ^ | 2/8/04 | Tehran Times

WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

We are convinced that John Kerry is the candidate best qualified to meet this challenge. Senator Kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in field of international affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and central to this campaign Kerry has the experience and the understanding necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread, extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man and woman on the street as well.

We believe John Kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also remain convinced that John Kerry has the best chance of beating the incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to a safer, more secure, and more stable world.

I think that research on these signatories will just uncover devoted Clintonistas, who protected all of his behavior as CINC?POTUS.

That was a set up by the Opecker Princes and the USSR with Jimmy Carter.

For close to two decades Israel, the middle east, our allies and we have suffered from horrible acts of Islamofascist terrorism funded and directed by the Mass Murdering Mullahs of Iran.

"Last year when Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue was exposed of lying or Deep Throating a non existant source, data and threads disappeared from the Capitol Hill Blue site."

You're welcome!

Remember this one well because the site was being purged as it was being discussed here.

You forgot to add France to that list.
The Frogs sheltered Khomeini in 1978 and backed him in fight against the Shah.

"Remember this one well because the site was being purged as it was being discussed here." (re Capitol Hill Blue site)

Wasn't that amazing. In front of our eyes, the purging of lies, spins and other bs was disappearing.

All of this 'vanishing data' or the potential is why Seamole has a personal campaign to get Freepers to post a complete story instead of excerpting a story.

Then, if the left wingers go back and do a USSR purge of their files and data, we have the full story on FR.

You can find the Slimey Frogs in the background of most of the Islamofascist countries like Iraq, Syria and Iran going back to before and after WWII.

Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks. Of course, Kerry saying he'll "repair the damage" really means, "I'll surrender on the War on Terror."

He's a UN darling. If he's the nominee, I'll be doing a whole lot of swearing between now and November. I already hate him.

Round up the regular suspects. I notice a number of Clintonids and malcontents. They must all be praying for a Kerry victory so they can get back on to the USG gravy train. Most of the folks on the list have an interesting history. Wilson is by no means the exception.

Has anyone figured out if this is a hoax or not? I just saw this for the first time and find it hard to believe.

I still don't know if it is a hoax or not. Let me know if you find out for sure.
