Uh, Mr. Kerry, where were you when Baghdad fell? Did you not see the people celebrating in the streets? Have you not seen the reports from the troops about how much the majority of Iraqi's like them there? Mr. Kerry, as great as our military is, didn't it occur to you that one of the primary reasons the US was able to invade so successfully was because alot of the people there were WAITING for the Americans, so they could get rid of Saddam? I mean, WHERE are you COMING from? I have heard this mantra now, with the "flowers" comment, from a couple other democrats, I think it was in their talking points memo or something. They are hoping that the latest fighting, due to a small minority in Iraq, will erase the memory of the glorious fall of Baghdad.
Ya know, they just might be right, no one ever got poor betting against the attention span of the average American.
I guess he doesn't remember Jimmy Carter and his Iran mess.
Why blame Cheney for underestimating the stupidity of the Iraqis? Who would have thought sane people would not welcome those who liberated them from the unspeakably cruel heel of the dictator Saddam? [of course many do, but the Demonrats seize upon those who do not] Particulary when that liberator was prepared to rebuild their infrastructure to better than it was before their liberation, give $billions in aid, help them in a myriad of other ways, and return the country to them with a chance for democracy for the first time. How arrogant is that John Kerry!? How fair is it to blame the US and Bush for it all the ensuing problems? And how fair is it to the sacrifice and struggle of our fine troops executing our policies?
This is funny coming from someone who made a huge case FOR the Iraq war back in 2002.
What a two faced double-talking phony Kerry is.
"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.
I have hours of them cheering the Americans as we liberated Iraq on video tape.
Maybe Kerry thinks the Iraqis would prefer to go back to the days of the rape rooms, torture chambers and mass graves filled with 300,000 Iraqi citizens?
What exactly is Kerry's position? This man is a such a hypocrite.
John Kerry fought in Vietnam? Stop the presses!
