But What If It's True?

The Washington Post seems bothered today by accusations against Kerry, charging that he is undermining our war effort and encouraging our enemies. But is there any doubt that it's true?

Just yesterday Kerry not only blasted George Bush over the war, but called the new Iraqi Prime minister a liar and ridiculed the upcoming Iraqi elections. Gee, don't you think Abu al-Zarqawi loved hearing that? I doubt if any enemy has been so encouraged by John Kerry since North Vietnam's overall commander General Giap read John Kerry's rhetoric in the 1970's.

After Kerry's performance yesterday, can Cheney's retort be considered anything but justified and accurate?

"I must say I was appalled at the complete lack of respect Senator Kerry showed for this man of courage, when he rushed to hold a press conference and attack the prime minister, a man America must stand beside to defeat the terrorists," Cheney told several thousand supporters.


"John Kerry is trying to tear down all the good that has been accomplished, and his words are destructive to our effort in Iraq and in the global war on terror," Cheney said. "As Prime Minister Allawi said in his speech, and I quote, 'When political leaders sound the siren of defeatism in the face of terrorism, it only encourages more violence.' End quote."


This is what the Washington Post considers excessive, not Kerry's defeatist rhetoric.

And we must realize John Kerry is trying to sell us on the concept that he is the world's greatest diplomat. Is it really such good idea to mock the leader of the country that the next president, whomever he is, will have to do business with if we are to have a successful outcome in Iraq?

And let's remember, Kerry has been ridiculing anybody on our side for over a year now. Only those who stand against us enjoy Kerry's respect. And most recently, his campaign has tried to drive a wedge between us and Australia.

The terrorists' objective is to intimidate all countries allied with America. Make them bleed and tell them this is the price they pay for being a U.S. ally. The implication is obvious: Abandon America and buy your safety.

That is what the terrorists are saying. Why is the Kerry campaign saying the same thing? ``John Kerry's campaign has warned Australians that the Howard government's support for the U.S. in Iraq has made them a bigger target for international terrorists.'' So reports The Australian (Sept. 18).


When you consider all that John Kerry has said and done to undermine our troops, can anyone really say anything that would qualify as excessive?
