Another certified Kerry flip-flop.

[dc-zoo]

Like he needed to tell us? What a joke this idiot has become.

[Soul Seeker]

So Kerry has finally conceded to the reality is overwhelming presence isn't enough to bring France and germany along for the ride?

Kerry, have you perhaps considered that if you and your friends in the Dem party hadn't obstructed Bush at every turn they might have been more willing to join us long ago, at least in some greater capacity? All you've done is help hype anti-American sentiment so any liklihood of their joining us is now gone.

Kerry says Franco-German troops unlikely....

The terrorists are deeply saddened that they won't have French troops to humiliate.

"Well, let it be known, that Iyam..uhh..flip-flopping. I never said I would..uhh..get the French and Germans to join us. Thank you for understanding my many clear and consistent positions on this."

[A Real Dan Fan... NOT]

Actually, we should be happy about this.

What with the Germans trying to take over the French and the French surrendering to the busboys at the local hotels, we'd NEVER get any work out of them.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Howlin]

"Does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they are not. I know that," he said. Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained." "Other countries are obviously more willing to accept responsibilities," he added, as he took questions from reporters in a school yard in Tipton, Iowa.

Can somebody explain that to me?

Following a day behind Iran to Kerry: Drop Dead'.

Both of Kerry's major platform points about how he'd have 'done things differently' are shot down within 36 hours.

There's no reason to elect this man.

[freestyle]

I think he is just testing to see how stupid people that continue to support him are.

I can picture him thinking before he answers a question: Hmmm... The only thing I have left that I have been saying consistently is that we should get more international support. Let me try this new line...

[SunkenCiv]

What's that sound? Sounds like that tall guy on the other side of the aisle just fell into a hole in the floor, and the only thing keeping his head visible is the carpet, kinda like that scene in "The Money Pit".

George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

[SunkenCiv]

Hmm. I wonder if this problem applies also to the many heads of state who want to see Bush replaced by Kerry? [snicker]

[Tobybear]

Dont Edwards and F' Kerry have a plan for that?

[MonroeDNA]

Hey Kerry: Although the alphabet news outlet would dearly love to relive the Vietnam protest days, like you, it's not going to happen.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I am saddened, deeply saddened, that John Kerry is such an utter, miserable failure when it comes to building vast broad coalitions of yellow, spineless weasels.

[pollywog]

didn't take you saying so JKerry!!! We already KNEW THIS!!! You see, President Bush TRIED it already.!!!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

BTTT

[DaveMSmith]

Way to go, Mr Diplomacy. Your little sideshow has managed to insult Poland Britain and Australia to the point they have publicly responded. You have encouraged our enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq by denigrating their brave leadership and brave soldiers who are sacrificing their lives for freedom.

As far as I'm concerned, the President's position expressed at last weeks debate was concise and unambiguous.

[Rutles4Ever]

What about Franco-AMERICAN troops?

[keats5]

So what's left for Kerry's allies? Does Kerry intend to hand out government contracts to those unwilling to commit troops?

[newzjunkey]

You mean to tell me his diplomatic charm is not helping bring others to our side? But, he's so skillful! Has so much credibility in the world!

Let's review his "skills"...
1. Calls Bush's "Coalition of the willing" the "Coalition of the bribed and coerced."
2. Sends sister to tell COALITION PARTNER Australia, ahead of Australian election, that working with America has made Australia LESS SAFE, more likely to be target.
3. Says IRAQ's Prime Minister is a LYING PUPPET.
4. Suggets he can vouch for France & Germany participating if he wins. France & Germany say, in effect, "WTF? Go to hell, Kerry!"
5. DEMEANS LOSSES of 800 Iraqi and COALITION forces.
6. ANGERS PARTNER POLAND with denigrating comments.
7. Proposes solution on Iran... Iran says, basically, "GO AWAY we don't want foreign energy DEPENDENCE like America has."
8. Can't explain how a "Global test" does not equal "Global VETO."
9. Uses Gulf War I coalition as example of DOING IT RIGHT, but hides that he voted AGAINST that very coalition when he had the opportunity.

Wow. And I've only scratched the surface. He's doing FABULOUSLY!

The man attempts to conduct policy from a point of HINDSIGHT rather than FORESIGHT.
