...and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
To readers of my little corner of the web, it obviously comes as no surprise that I have a deep dislike for Al Gore and John Kerry. I truly, TRULY try to avoid thinking about either of them but, invariably, one of these idiots opens their mouth and, in the spirit of Ron White (“I had the right to remain silent…but not the ability.”), I am duty-bound to address it.
“U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.
"If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John's bar and grill in Detroit's Cass Corridor.
Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East," Kerry said. "We're going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it."”
(Skip some hirstorical BS)
“Hezbollah guerillas should have been targeted with other terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaida and the Taliban, which operate in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kerry said. However, Bush, has focused military strength on Iraq.
"This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq.…We have to destroy Hezbollah," he said.”
Let that sink in for a minute: “If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Really, John?
Let’s skip past the fact that a pretty significant majority of the country (i.e., everyone who voted against you as well as many of those who voted for you not because you are John Kerry, but because you AREN’T George W. Bush) really doesn’t care what you THINK you may have been able to accomplish had you become President.
Let’s also skip past my question about why someone who has actually won an election for Executive Office (Gov. Granholm) would want YOU campaigning on her behalf. No offense, but I’m just not seeing you having any political clout.
Let’s focus, however, on your words:
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East," Kerry said. "We're going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it."”
Diplomacy worked extremely well for Clinton, didn’t it? Granted, it looked like he may have pulled a rabbit out of his hat in 1993, but, beyond a lot of placation (and a Nobel Peace Prize for Yasser Arafat), what truly came out of it?
However, this comment is truly misleading in that it chalks up the conflict to a lack of diplomacy and “diplomacy” just doesn’t enter into the equation. This isn’t a case where two diametrically opposed nations are getting into a pissing contest and the US could’ve mediated a settlement. This is a terrorist organization who has declared war against an established nation. Further, the term “Israeli-Lebanon Conflict” is intellectually dishonest in that Israel is not fighting Lebanon…it’s fighting Hezbollah. Unfortunately, Lebanon is in the crosshairs because the Lebanese majority is being, essentially, held captive by a terrorist minority.
I’ve seen some reports from people on the ground in Lebanon who say that many Lebanese HOPE Israel succeeds in eradicating Hezbollah. Sounds plausible to me.
Finally, on the diplomacy subject, much to the disappointment of many, diplomacy isn’t going to end this conflict. Hezbollah needs to be taken out entirely. Besides Israel, Lebanon would be the greatest beneficiary.

Ahem:
“If Saddam Hussein is unwilling to bend to the international community's already existing order, then he will have invited enforcement, even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act." – John Kerry – September 6, 2002
Sorry…just had to get that out of the way. And, I’m not just throwing that out there as a dig. I use that specific quote to bolster a position I have regarding a President Kerry.
Ick…I feel dirty just for saying that.
Regarding Hezbollah, what justification might you have used to start bombing the hell out of Lebanon? That they were harboring a terrorist organization? Would you have used non-compliance with a UN Security Council Resolution (1559) as justification to start invade a sovereign, Middle Eastern nation who was “no threat to the US”?? Hmmm…curious….
So, President Kerry (ick again), in order to get us out of an ill-advised war, redeploys all of those troops in Iraq who are fighting “the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time”. Some get to go home, but many are sent due west into Lebanon to take care of this little problem that Israel has. Because we’re working to eradicate this relatively small group of terrorists, we’ve essentially started a war with not one but TWO other counties; Iran and Syria.
Rather than declaring a formal war with the US over this issue, however, they handle it by proxy…they’ll fund some other organizations to do the fighting for them. Since we’ve left Iraq, there are plenty of folks from al-Queda and other insurgents who are looking for something to do. No, they’ll save their militaries for other endeavors.
You see, Iran has been eyeing that piece of land to their west for quite a while. Since the US obliterated the Iraqi army and left them a chaotic mess (thanks to the Kerry policy of "retreat and surrender"), Iran will just move in and set up shop. There probably won’t be THAT much resistance.
So, while the US and Israel are fighting an insurgency which makes the current Iraq situation look like a simple case of teenaged rebellion, an unholy alliance…uh…coalition, is being formed between Palestine, Syria, Iran, and the country formerly known as Iraq, During this little “coalition-building” period, Iran realizes some success in their nuclear program. Congratulations, John! You’ve COMPLETELY lost the Middle East AND they’ve got the bomb.
Good strategy, John. SO sorry I didn’t vote for you in 2004.
"This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq.…We have to destroy Hezbollah," he said.”
Uhh….that’s pretty much what Israel is doing right now.
Why, just this afternoon, Hezbollah gave an interview and, in so many words, they said, “Well, HORSESHIT! This wasn’t what we were expecting!”
OK. They didn’t really say “horseshit”. They actually said:
"The truth is — let me say this clearly — we didn't even expect (this) response ... that (Israel) would exploit this operation for this big war against us," said Komati.
He said Hezbollah had expected "the usual, limited response" from Israel after the two soldiers were seized by guerrillas on Israel's side of the border on July 12.
In the past, he said, Israeli responses to Hezbollah actions included sending commandos into Lebanon, seizing Hezbollah officials and briefly targeting specific strongholds in southern Lebanon.
Komati said his group had anticipated negotiations to swap the Israeli soldiers for three Lebanese held in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it has in past prisoner exchanges.
Go, Israel! Take them out. God bless.
Go SCREW, John. You’re NOT president….and I thank God for that.
