Kerry: Iraq a Great Failure of Judgment

Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Wednesday called the situation in Iraq "one of the greatest failures of diplomacy and failures of judgment that I have seen in all the time that I've been in public life."

"Where are the people with the flowers, throwing them in the streets, welcoming the American liberators the way Dick Cheney said they would be?" Kerry said in an interview with American Urban Radio Networks.

"Since I fought in Vietnam, I have not seen an arrogance in our foreign policy like this."

"one of the greatest failures of diplomacy and failures of judgment that I have seen in all the time that I've been in public life."

And Mr. Kerry would suggest that we sit around a table, drink green tea, talk about our feelings, our childhods, and just have a big huggy-kissy time.

We're dealing with terrorists the right way. BY KILLING THEM.

The great failure of judgment is with Kerry. If this bozo can't keep his mouth shut he might as well concede the election now. What an embarrassment this guy is, even for a Democrat.

I have not seen an arrogance.....

Arrogant, eh John? Strange, that's the same (overused) adjective Old Europe uses to describe us.

Like Clinton this Kerry SOB will do anything to promote his election. I have a hard time picturing anyone that would vote for him. None on my EMail list anyway.

Seems Kerry's practice makes perfect when it comes to hurting the troops and aiding the enemy.

Just listening to Michael Savage. He had some scumbag call in to say he was happy that Americans were dying in Iraq because it helps Kerry.

Diplomacy, Schliplomacy! The only diplomacy that traitors like Kerry think is successful is the kind where the USA gives in to whatever the enemy wants to do.

It seems so sweet when the enemy echoes the liberal Democrat icon, Ted Kennedy or is it the other way around that the leftist are “in lock step” with the terrorist. I would like too direct this statement at Sen. Kennedy and the Democratic Party, we are at war with a sinister enemy called terrorism. If this was a war against fascism, the liberals would be out for blood but since this is a war on Islamic terrorism the democrats are “humming a different tune” of love and peace. In truth these terrorist are Islamo fascist. The left in this nation and worldwide has formulated a temporary alliance with evil.

I have a easy question for the liberals who is running Sen. Kerry’s campaign, and why are the terrorist whistling the same anti-American song that the democrats are singing “ the eve of destruction”.


Al-Sadr Uses Teddy Kennedy's Pet Phrase
Al-Sadr said Iraq would become "another Vietnam" for the United States unless it transfers power to Iraqis who are not connected with the U.S.-led occupation authority.
"I call upon the American people to stand beside their brethren, the Iraqi people, who are suffering an injustice by your rulers and the occupying army, to help them in the transfer of power to honest Iraqis," al-Sadr said in a statement from his office in the southern city of Najaf. "Otherwise, Iraq will be another Vietnam for America and the occupiers."

Can't wait for the al Sadr endorsement of Kerry. If we are lucky Hamas will join the Kerry bandwagon too.

Kerry again gives aid and comfort to America's enemies. Once a traitor, always a traitor.

I don't think so.

If you look at each state individually, Bush has greater leads in the states that he won in 2000 and he leads in several states that he lost in 2000.

When Kerry speaks off the cuff he digs his own political grave.

The guy must be getting senile.

By November 2, if he is the candidate at that time, he will be lucky to get 40% of the vote!!
