#1 Keep on JF'nK! - our allies will yearn for W's courage, strength and recipocated loyalty. Kerry is loyal only to himself, and doesn't give a peon's ass for anyone else

#2 I would encourage violence against this jackoff but that would be illegal I think. So i'll encourage you all to go over to Communists for Kerry dot com instead as comic relief. The man is such a clueless tool.

#3 Allawi: "Kerry Campaign is Just for Show."

"I mean come on, American dudes, three purple hearts without a Bandaid? By that standard every man, woman and child in Iraq should get the Medal of Honor. But hey, if Senator Kerry thinks he knows more about Iraq than I do, I'll let him have my job for a month. Watch your back, big guy."

#4 No wonder so many people are for Kerry. I can see how his nuance, and diplomatic skills will win many new friends for America. - NOT

#5 Mark Steyn has the definitive comment on Kerry.:
What a small, graceless man Kerry is. The nature of adversarial politics in a democratic society makes George W. Bush his opponent. But it was entirely Kerry's choice to expand the field, to put himself on the other side of Allawi and the Iraqi people. Given his frequent boasts that he knows how to reach out to America's allies, it's remarkable how often he feels the need to insult them: Britain, Australia, and now free Iraq. 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.

#7 So much for building alliances, eh? The guy's not even President, and he botched the job already.

What a moroon.

#10 Anonymous6643, unless your comment was an attempt at sarcasm, your comment needs clarification. What has Kerry done that makes you think that our relations will improve with our allies? He's disparaged and denigrated all those who have stood with us. Unlikely that they will forget his gratuitous insults. As for the others, the French and the Germans cannot project any significant military power and their economies are faltering to the point that it is unlikely that they would be willing or able to pay for anything. So how will Kerry joining with them in denouncing American values, institutions, and beliefs in fluent French make them more willing to help us achieve the objectives that they denounce? As for the rest of the world, how will projecting weakness and withdrawal make them want to stand by us? It is crystal clear that John Kerry would be more comfortable standing with the Europeans than with America and that he is not capable of leading either America or the Free World.

#11 Anon 6643, oops, sorry, Tereeeyzza...you inadvertantly exposed yourself. Cristal is a champagne of the rich ($200+ a bottle) , crystal clear is the image we peasants have of your boy toy - a lying scumbag who insults our allies (who live in higher danger than you do on your well-guarded estates) and who can't find a core belief or his backbone til you or his campaign managers tell him where to look

#12 Sock, you & the boys keep up the great work at CFK! Bravo!

Anonymous6643 (and we know why you choose to be so), my count indicates only three hard-care E.U. states which think appeasement works, and two them should know through their own history (France & Germany) as far as Spain, well, they remained on the pro-Axis sidelines thus it is expected but sets a real poor example in confronting the Islamic terrorist horde as a united force, sort of ----> like you.

#13 Am I the only one to notice this? AFAIK, John Kerry has never-- not even once, not in any context-- actually specified exactly WHICH countries comprise this list of "allies" we allegedly don't get along with, and whose fervent support we would allegedly get if only we would elect him President.

Perhaps he knows how asinine he'd sound, proclaiming "George Bush has alienated France!"

#14 Dave D, you are not the only one to notice this. In a side note, I don't quite know what to make of this but I met some New Jerseyites today and the talk got around to politics. These people told me to not be too surprised if the President takes New Jersey. What they told me was that Kerry was much too liberal for New Jersey and they were fed up with the tax and spend Democrats. I'm beginning to think the Democrats are in much worse trouble than they or the MSM let on.

#15 Mark I got nothing to do with CFK but enjoying it.
Now I got to study for a test monday night.

These countries Kerry keep talking about don't exist. Kerry is so clueless he doesn't know No means No. No as in Germany has No troops to send. None of them have troops to send. They are bankrupting from their aging population and massive years old unemployment rates.

#16 Right on, SPoD. In the radio interview last week on NPR the reporter brought up the fact that Frogistan and Germay don't have the troops to send and his reply was they could train Iraqi troops on their own soil, a proposal by the Bush Administration which has been rejected by both Frogistan and Germany. He is truly absolutely clueless.

#17 Just one more observation. Some months ago I posted that I thought the reason John Kerry didn't resign his Senate seat to run for President (he did call for Bob Dole to resign) was that he was hedging his bets. He wasn't fully convinced he could win and he didn't want to be left out if he did lose. This seems to be to me even more so today. He has totally abandoned his Senate duties but he won't resign. I think he doesn't really believe he will win and he wants to be a green turd in the pickle jar for quite some time yet.
