John Kerry: "A Strategy for Iraq" |
2004-04-13 |
.... The United States can bolster [U.N. representative Lakhdar] Brahimi’s limited leverage by saying in advance that we will support any plan he proposes that gains the support of Iraqi leaders. Moving forward, the administration must make the United Nations a full partner responsible for developing Iraq’s transition to a new constitution and government. We also need to renew our effort to attract international support in the form of boots on the ground to create a climate of security in Iraq. We need more troops and more people who can train Iraqi troops and assist Iraqi police. |

#11 Kerry supporters should be glad Kerry wrote this instead of making this one of his speeches -- it would have sounded even more like a pompous nothingburger |

#8 Forget the facts about Kerry's qualifications for CIC- his love of the French, his turnong his back on his country flag and fellow vets in 1971, all of the ither things thgat make you puke- I'm going to vote for Bush for another reason in addition to those- just to piss of the rest of the world's leftists, the Flag booers in Canada, the Turban heads in the Middle East, the Euro Wienies, the hollwyood left, the pro Hamas anti Israeli demonstartors in our country in San Francisso, and the biased liberal media. Yep those are some reasons I'm voting for Bush. |

#6 The fact that John F'himself Kerry trusts in the UN is reason enough, by itself, not to vote for him. Only idiots, and men without vision or personal courage, like Kerry, trust in the UN. Kerry's pseudo-chic "internationalism" is particularly disgusting. Through it he seeks to legitimize himself. (He is so . . . how you say . . . French! ) Anyway, if Iraq is "Bush's Vietnam," why is Kerry interested in making it his? Oh, that's right, the god-almighty UN would make all the difference. At the very mention of the UN, all of the Isalmic terrorists and factions put down their weapons and either start crying with relief like babies, or just stand in awe. Some of them even say they're sorry. It's a beautiful sight to behold, I tell you. |

#4 "...sense of hope and optimism among the Iraqi people..." Hmmm. P'raps we should ask the people of Kosovo about the kind of "hope and optimism" they have after what, six years of U.N. administration? Last I checked, the U.N. hadn't even restored electrical service yet. Someone should ask John Kerry to be specific about how he's going to secure all this wonderful "international cooperation" he likes to talk about. What price will he make America pay in exchange for that "cooperation"? |

#3 (1) So the future of Iraq would depend on the response Kerry gets from the UN and NATO? Which of our NATO allies is suddenly going to develop an enthusiasm for sending troops to Iraq? (2) Do the Iraqis get a say in this? Suppose they don't want to be "partners" with the UN, given the wonderful success of the UN's oil-for-bribes program? |

#1 Re-create a sense of hope and optimism among the Iraqi people? The UN? There should have been a Coffee Alert with that one! |
