Kerry's looking for American failure -- and he's it (Mark Steyn)

Prime Minister Allawi told Congress today that democracy was taking hold in Iraq and that the terrorists there were on the defensive. Is he living in the same fantasyland as the president?

NBC guy: ''A central theme of your campaign is that America is safer because of the invasion of Iraq. Can you understand why Americans may not believe you?''

Did "Journalists" really ask those questions phrased that way? Usually they phrase their snide questions by using a quote from someone else like the two I didn't paste. Who were these two? I'd really like to know.

Great perspective...

The MSM (The biggest 527) is more interested in replaying Kerry's taking points to take down Bush than to really find out the truth about the state of the Iraq war. It is appalling that no relevant questions were asked of Allawi!!!

Journalism is in the gutter

[Y0K]

This is exactly why I want to vote two times: Once against Kerry and one for Bush.

Where in the world does Kerry get off? This is not fantasy land, this is ludicrous on his part.

Priceless !

Yes, David Gregory. He's the same prick that asked Bush if he would apologize for getting us into Iraq...

There's no doubt his agenda is to make Bush looks as bad as possible.

Kerry finds himself a month before the election with no platform to run on other than American defeat.

Steyn nails it right here.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

The following are my thoughts, and mine alone, I speak for no one else.

The DNC and Kerry are as to Al Qaeda in Iraq, what their counterparts, Sinn Fein and Gerry Adams are as to the IRA in Ireland, they are both nothing more than political mouthpiece wings for terrorist groups.

Having been exposed as they were during the Vietnam era, the DNC and Kerry have now shed their last cloak of patriotic deceit about winning the war on terror in Iraq, It is back to hate America, hate our military. The DNC and Kerry are working in orchestrated coordination with Kofi Annan and the UN, repeating almost verbatim the United Nations resident terrorist prophets of doom and gloom press releases, spieling perfectly the speeches of defeatism from that viper's nest housed there on the Hudson.

Kerry's agenda is first to demoralize America, followed by appeasement, then, surrender to the terrorist enemy's terms in Iraq, he has no intent of winning there, he will use his same scum bag (Momma-T's terminology) anti-war policy from over 30 years ago, CUT and RUN. I do not think it is a matter of him not having the will to fight the terrorists, it is much more profound, he prefers that enemy to win, not Iraq, not America, not the coalition, but the terrorists.

He damned over three million (3,000,000) souls to horrible deaths when he and his hate America cohorts accomplished their betrayal of South Vietnam and consequent pull out from all of South East Asia. Kerry and his Jane Fonda ilk have no regrets whatsoever for their planned actions during those turbulent times, they are proud of their complicity in humiliating America and that 58,000 of our brave troops died there. Even today, as they repeatedly love to say adnauseam, for a mistake.

Listen and pay heed to the DNC and Kerry's rhetoric, pay very, very, close attention, they are really telling America exactly what they are going to do. Abandon the Iraqi people to the tender mercies of insane murderers, as those 3,000,000 decades ago they abandoned, to be slaughtered by their commie filth soul mates in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Mark Steyn is a new media superstar.

I taped it from C-span, and need to look at it again to be sure, but I don't think the camera ever went into the press corps. There is probably a transcript somewhere to give us the names.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Little snot-nosed David Gregory of NBC News (the guy who can do Brokaw better than Tom Brokaw) ?

[metesky]

But, because this pampered cipher has floundered for 18 months to find any rationale for his candidacy other than his indestructible belief in his own indispensability, Kerry finds himself a month before the election with no platform to run on other than American defeat. He has decided to co-opt the jihadist death-cult, the Baathist dead-enders, the suicide bombers and other misfits and run as the candidate of American failure. This would be shameful if he weren't so laughably inept at it.

The laughably inept Man Who Would Be King...

Steyn Bump!

[McGavin999]

This new crowd -- Democrats and media alike -- are stunted and parochial, their horizons shriveling more every day.

Boy, does this say it all. I was thinking the other night just how disfunctional our media has become. It's like it deliberately went out to find all the psycologically damaged people it could find in order to commit public suicide. Watching that press conference, listening to those questions, can anyone here say those are normal people asking the questions?

Since Dan has now shot his wad, the rest of the MSM have to take up the slack.

The trick is to stop buying any products connected to the MSM. Check the mastheads to your magazines. Cancel accordingly. Read net stories instead, usually more current. When in doubt, just go a a forum of your favorite topic and enjoy.

Mark Steyn sees all of this as it truly is. He sees so clearly and in the same fashion....Thank You, Mark.

John F*ckin' may be many things but being a gentleman doesn't come to mind. He turns snarling and surly when cornered. You can't say a lot of upper class folks get down in the gutter when the heat's on. For Kerry, attacking comes first and manners come second. Since his running mate Little Johnny is spectacularly unequipped for the task, the Democrat from Beantown has had to take on the burden of hitting hard and being presidential at the same time. Call it Windsurfing On Steroids. He's looking to be remembered as the man who ended up dead broke despite Teresa's millions. What a fitting footnote in American history. BRING IT ON!!!

[Defiant]

Good points.
