Joe Lockhart, to the Los Angeles Times: "The last thing you want to be seen as is a puppet of the United States, and you can almost see the hand underneath the shirt today moving the lips."

I'd like to meet up with this scumbag some day.  I might be too old to beat him in a fair fight...but with the help of a 4' 2x4 I might be able to hold my own.

"But Kerry's rudeness paled beside the comment of his senior adviser, Joe Lockhart, to the Los Angeles Times: "The last thing you want to be seen as is a puppet of the United States, and you can almost see the hand underneath the shirt today moving the lips."

There are so many Kerry Co. quotes that can be used in the debates but I think this is one that W can highlight to great effect because of it's obnoxiousness coupled with it's recent pronouncement status.

I don't think there are too many people out there who still believe in this "war on terror" nonsense anymore, though.

Not only did I lose all respect for you with that comment, but now I believe you are also the enemy. And to top it off, it proves you are clueless about the public.

The question should be "How many will he murder in the future?"

**The disgraceful behavior of John Kerry and his team is sufficient grounds for concern about his fitness to be president.**

Ditto!

Are you opposed to putting him on trial for his past murders?

Before you go back and read my earlier post #86, I want you to ask yourself something: Is 300 US deaths worth the 3,000,000 worldwide deaths?

If Libya is an issue later, then we'll deal with them. In the big picture, it's not worth the distraction right now.

Get out of your isolationist box dude.

I simply don't trust the bastard, that's all.

If President Bush announced that the U.S. was going to invade Iran in December, and John Kerry called for the U.S. to invade Iran next week, William Kristol's column would have been a ringing endorsement of John Kerry.

If the article were written anonymously, would you agree with its contents?

Who cares who wrote it? It's true.

Hey, don't misunderstand me.

In September of 2001, I was all set to go out and burn a couple of mosques to the ground. But when they told me that my contribution to the "war on terror" would be to simply take off my shoes at the airport, bend over, and let them shove a probe up my @ss . . . well, I kinda figured there was a lot more to this than a "war on terror."

Kristol is also a craven opportunist. He utterly undercut the President when things did not go so well earlier this year.

He and Kagan co-wrote that idiotic article in FA back in 1996, which spelled out an interventionist American policy.

Of course, when we finally got into a war of daunting proportions he snipes, forgetting totally the responsibilites entailed for advocating such a policy as laid out in that piece.

Kristol has no credibility to speak on the subject, especially now that we're committed.

Kerry should be strung up upside down by his heels, the way the Italians did to Mussolini.

I'm afraid I'm still misunderstanding you. There's a lot more to the War on Terror than the inconvenience it's put you and me through. Neither of us like that, but I think I can assume that neither one of us would have liked to have been on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center one fateful September day.

This struggle is real and it's deadly and it's not over. So, either you'll have to do a better job than you've done on this thread so far, or my opinion of you will have changed radically.

When I read this latest screed, I wondered "where were you in April, you *&^%*&^" remembering Kristol's criticism of the president at the time. Did nothing but encourage the kind of viciousness he is currently criticizing Kerry for.

Trust me, after the election, Kristol will change his position...again.

Kerry was a traitor 30 years ago, and he is a traitor today. It barely occurs to him the consequences of his actions. When I see the Kerry signs in my neighbors' yards, it makes me sad that we have sunk so low.

OK, Kristol sucks sometimes. OK, most of the time But he does raise a great issue. Namely; what happens if we pul out as opposed to staying until the job is done.

I was hoping the discussion was about his arguments, not his personality.

I am certainly not a Kristol fan either, but he's spot on in this article. Remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
