Massachusetts's thinner, more sober senator, John Kerry, said that he voted for threatening to use force on Saddam Hussein, but that actually using force was wrong. This is what's known, in the language of diplomacy, as bullshit.

The winner of South Carolina's JFK look-alike contest, John Edwards, and the winner of Florida's Bob Gramm look-alike contest, Bob Gramm, said that America had won the war in Iraq but was losing the peace because Iraq was so unstable. When Iraq was stable, it attacked Israel in 1967 and 1973. It attacked Iran. It attacked Kuwait. It gassed the Kurds. It butchered the Shiites. It fostered terrorism in the Middle East. Who wanted a stable Iraq?

There are SO many good quotes - it's hard to pick just one!!!

How about this one:

Winners don't need to hijack airplanes. Winners have an air force.

How about Americans hate foreign polocy because our own State Dept. is so anti American and in any situation regarding negotionations with any foreign country they put us in a hole.

I thought maybe O'Rourke had fallen for the party line when I came to that bit about "The Serbs stole my car . . . The Serbs burnt my house . . . The Serbs raped my daughter." Only Serbs committed crimes? No one else?

Then I noticed this: "Major Tom's job was to sit in an office where Croat and Muslim residents of Republika Srpska went to report Dayton Agreement violations." In other words, this was typical clintonoid "foreign policy." The military were directed to listen only to Croat and Muslim complaints. No wonder the Serbs were demonized.

Since the gist of Howard Dean's campaign platform was "It Worked in Vermont," he really may have thought that the terrorists should take up snowboarding. On the other hand, the gist of General (very retired) Wesley Clark's campaign platform was "It Worked in Kosovo". Kosovo certainly taught the world a lesson. Wherever there's suffering, injustice, and oppression, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening.

This was just too funny. Still chuckling. :-)
