Kerry's Foreign Legion
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 15, 2004 | Editorial (presumably Paul Gigot)

John Kerry has made "bring it on" a catch-phrase indicating his eagerness to debate national security. So we can only assume he'll be willing to elaborate on his recent remark about his private conversations with foreign leaders.

Last Monday in Florida, the Senator told reporters that, "I've met with foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly. But, boy, they look at you and say: 'You've got to win this. You've got to beat this guy. We need a new policy.' Things like that."

We sure hope Mr. Kerry isn't giving either of these countries the idea that if they can merely stonewall for another few months, the Senator will then ride to their rescue.

Don't hold out too much hope.

According to Iran’s State News Agency (IRNA) democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry will seek direct talks with Iran if he wins the White House, his foreign policy chief said.

Meaning, they want to be not held accountable for anything that they do or say.

Me thinks Senator Ketchup, er Kerry (D-Vietnam) has some 'splainin to do'.

Especially if the 'world leaders' are from;
Iran
Syria
North Korea
FRANCE
'the Palestinian Authority'

Not to mention powerhouse nations like; Botswana, Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso (Upper Volta) and other such counties he'd put in charge over our nations security via the U.N.

Then again, he most likely made all this cr*p up. After all he is nothing but a lying demoncRAT.

Sounds like his Vietnam stories. You know, the ones he told at the "Winter Soldier" anti-war street theater. The ones where Kerry testified that he'd personally seen, and yes, even participated in atrocities (which were not abeartions, but policy) against Vietnamese civilians.

Which he later clarified by explaining that he hadn't really seen or done that sort of thing himself, but he heard about it!

It would seem the good senator from Massachusetts has tendencies toward self agrandizement. The truth may be simply that one of his staffers mentioned to him that, "heck, sir, I bet if you talked to the leaders of other countries they'd all say "You've got to win this. You've got to beat this guy. We need a new policy."

FNC just showed him needling a guy who asked him to name those leaders he spoke with. Of course Kerry wouldn't answer and turned on the man DEMANDING he answer if he was a republican and if he voted for Bush. Colin Powell is also questioning who, if anyone, Kerry spoke to and hasn't gotten an answer. Since, according to FNC, Kerry states he might have maybe possibly thought he could have heard some leaders who might feel he should beat Bush. Liar!

I believe that you are too optimistic. Remember that Al Gore claimed that he invented the internet and that did not seem to hurt him among the critical mass of morons who are stupid enough to vote for the likes of him anyway.

Hey, man...
....
like..
like...
the words Kerry puts into the mouths of the foreign leaders sound suspiciously like the words of an adolescent who only knows how to rebel against the adults in charge.

Kerry speaks like someone who hasn't moved on from the 60's. He overuses the words... "most," "all" and "always," too, especially when negatively labelling the adminstration.

"This President is the most..."
"This administration always..."

Groovy....
Far out..

The European point of view seems to be "Cave in to Al Qaeda when you are attacked."

Do we want a President who listens to people like that?

I think we need to press Kerry to reveal the names of his "invisible friends."

And put it in those terms -- his "invisible friends."
