As Gomer Pyle might say - "Surprise, surprise, surprise!". No, the surprise was not that we learned today of the discovery of WMD's, specifically sarin and mustard gas .
Heck, even John Kerry thought Iraq had WMD's, that is before he didn't. A little more than a month ago he issued a press release with the title "Once Again, George Bush Doesn’t Tell the Truth about Weapons of Mass Destruction President thumbs his nose at the fact that his WMD claims have been widely discredited."
The surprise is that Sen. Kerry has not apologized for his hypocritical, uninformed, borderline slanderous, and ultimately, dead-wrong comments about President Bush and WMD's. (OK, we're feigning surprise, and admit we're being sarcastic. We apologize.)
Well we here at crushkerry.com are demanding that John Kerry apologize to President Bush. How can we do such a thing you ask? Simply by parroting John Kerry's words when he shamelessly exploited the Abu Gharib situation for his own purposes and called for President Bush to apologize to the Arab world, where stuff like what went on in that prison would be rated "G".
About 2 weeks ago John Kerry, trying to hide his own lack of original ideas used the actions of a few soldiers at Abu Gharib Prison to raise money.
He also joined the drumbeat of the elite media (side note: just how quiet have they been on finding WMD's. Chrissy "I Squat to Pee" Matthews did about 2 minutes on it on "Hardball" before yammering for 20 minutes with Sy Hersh over unfounded allegations about the Pentgon's role in the prison situation) in demanding that President Bush apologize for it . Sadly the President did so.
But a look at John Kerry's reasoning in that case shows why HE should now apologize for falsely accusing President Bush of lying about WMD's in light of today's discovery.
One of Kerry's arguments for a Bush apology was that "because we have to show the world that we're willing to correct our own mistakes." . Fair enough Senator. The President apologized for the stupidity of personnel about 1,000 levels below him, now be a man and say you're sorry for your own stupidity and mistakes. Unless of course, you want to blame it on your speechwriters.
And let's take this quote: "The horrifying abuse of Iraqi prisoners which the world has now seen is absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable and the response of the administration, certainly the Pentagon, has been slow and inappropriate." As of 11:00 pm tonight, nearly 12 hours after the WMD find, there has been no response by Kerry, either on his website, or in the press, about this significant find. His response in dealing with this vital issue of national security has been slow and inappropriate. If, God forbid, this lunkhead ever does become President, how many will have to die before he responds and apologizes for his mistakes? Sad that he thinks the mistreatment of Iraqi thugs and terrorists deserves a quicker response than the discovery of WMD's.
In perhaps the most ironic quote Kerry says that "I want to know, as I think Americans do, is this isolated? Does it go up the chain of command? Who knew what when?" he said. "All of those questions have to be answered, so I don't want to shoot from the hip." Well Senator, that shot at the hip you didn't want to take just landed in your foot. I think that all Americans want to know if the reason that you have failed to apologize or comment on the WMD find is because you believe it is "isolated". Or do you, like the brain dead lunatics at Democratic Underground think these weapons of mass death were planted. Oh, and Senator, we'd all like to know, is this find insignificant because it's only a few WMD's only capable of killing a few Americans? If so, we can understand. Obviously you're more concerned about how the embarrassment of Iraqi terrorists might hurt the feelings of the Arab world than you are about WMD's.
Finally, there's this gem: "The president of the United States needs to offer the world an explanation and needs to take appropriate responsibility. And if that includes apologizing for the behavior of those soldiers and what happened, we ought to do that." Senator Kerry, don't you think you owe it to the world to admit you were wrong by falsely accusing the President of the United States of lying about the single most important reason for going to war in the first place? Or are you too concerned about the alleged "foreign leaders" you claim to have spoken with, and how they will react to your actually, for once, supporting your country's leader? Or are the opinions of these terrorist loving, anti-Semetic cowards too important to you and your campaign?
As for the apology, in the words of Judge Smails to Danny Noonan - "Well - we're waiiittttinnng".
But it was only an itty bitty bit!!!
Did I miss something? Where/when/who in the admin has said the recent finds of sarin & mustard gas prove the case for WMDs in Iraq in the quantities stated before the invasion?
There will be a long wait for this sorry piece of human debris to apologize for anything. He is to far above anyone to say he is sorry to a bunch of peon's such as us.
In John Kerry's defense, he did say that Iraq had WMDs before he said they didn't.
The reason to go to war wasn't based on a specific amount of the WMD's, it was having them in the first place,and not living up to their cease fire agreements and UN resolutions. And what makes you think there isn't more out there? You will say "Well, what makes you think there are?". My answer is that they never accounted for destroying what they had in 1998.
Just how much of this stuff do they have to find to satisfy you?
"Just how much of this stuff do they have to find to satisfy you?"
Enough to cause real damage - and something a bit closer to what we said we knew they had - we even knew where it was (quoting VP Cheney). But, my question right now is - where are the statements from the Bush Admin. claiming these finds are the 'mother lode' we've been looking for from day 1?
What it takes to satisfy me isn't the point. The point really is = how much does it take to satisfy the admin that we have found the epemeral WMDs?
There will be no apology from Kerry to Bush. To apologize would be to admit that the original accusation that "Bush lied!" was a fabrication, based on betting that Saddam managed to hide all the WMD.
I frankly love the way the Bush administration is keeping a low profile on this huge story. The Kerry people better watch out, because it is highly evident to me that once again, GWB is in the midst of one of his famous "rope-a-dope" maneuvers. Notice how many weeks they sat on the mustard gas discovery? Makes you wonder how much more they know today . . .
If there are ANY smart Democrats out there (that's a big IF), I would caution them go crawl back under their rocks.
And, in Kennedy's case, he can drown himself with something on the rocks.
epemeral = ephemeral
It's not HIS apology...it's his family's!
Man, you sure INSULTED that walrus!!! The one not wearing glasses that is!!!
LOL!
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
No need for them to make the statements - the sarin and mustard gas speaks for itself. It really wouldn't hurt Kerry all that much had he not been so stupid as to say Bush "misled" on WMD's. If Bush was wrong, it was because of bad intellegence not because he "misled", especially in light of comments from Democrats since the 1990's saying Saddam had this stuff.
And please define "real damage". My understanding of sarin is that it was used by the wacko in Japan a few years ago and killed a bunch of people in the subway. What happened if they did that in New York. To me, one American life is "real damage" from terrorist action.
It looks like he ate John F'ing Kerry
