"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Kerry Says Allawi's Speech Contradicts Reality in Iraq

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 23 WaPo -- Sen. John F. Kerry said on Thursday that Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, put the "best face" on a failed policy when the foreign leader addressed Congress earlier in the morning.

Can someone please tell the good Senator to kindly shut the hell up.

"The United States and the Iraqis have retreated from whole areas of Iraq," Kerry told reporters outside a firehouse. "There are no-go zones in Iraq today. You can't hold an election in a no-go zone."

Yeah, as Prime Minister Allawi pointed out, saying that 15 of 18 Iraqi provinces were peaceful and the other three (including Falluja) have "pockets of terrorists."

Iraq's 1/6th no-go zone rate is probably better that a lot of places in the US. Iraq is a country that's roughly the size of California. How many no-go zones does Cali have? Senator Kerry's rich, pale ass has as good a chance, if not better, of running into serious trouble walking thru South Central or Watts.

Anyone else tired of Senator Kerry talking down every ally this country has while all but performing public fellatio on every so-called ally, obstructionist, and flatout enemy this country has?

I know I am.

Anyone else tired of John Kerry's lifelong career of sabotaging war effort after war effort (Vietnam, Cold War, the WoT) for personal, political gain?

I know I am.

And it looks like Vice President Cheney is as well...
"I was appalled at the complete lack of respect Sen. Kerry showed for this man of courage when he rushed out to hold a press conference and attack the prime minister, the man America must stand with to defeat the terrorists."

Is it November 3rd yet?
