Senator John F. Kerry blasted the leading Republican presidential candidates on foreign policy yesterday, saying "it should disturb all of us" that the GOP contenders are taking increasingly hawkish stances on national security issues like Iran and the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
In a speech at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, Kerry delivered a stinging commentary on what he described as the belligerent tone of recent Republican primary debates.
"Most of the Republican candidates seemed almost eager to use nuclear weapons preemptively" against Iran, Kerry said.
Several GOP candidates said at a debate last week in Manchester, N.H., that they would "leave all options on the table," including military strikes, to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Kerry cited an opinion poll from last month indicating that 29 percent of Americans still believe former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had a role in planning the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Kerry also called for the Guantanamo prison to be shut down immediately and criticized Bush's oft-stated comment that catching individual Al Qaeda leaders like Osama bin Laden doesn't matter

I don’t know about Iran, but I fully support the preemptive use of nuclear weapons against John F’n Kerry.

This idiot does not get it that, he is a has been in the political arena due to his relentless asinine remarks and can not be taken seriously by anybody Republicans, Democrats and the Fly over Country!
Perhaps he should stick with the Ketchup manufacturing process.
