John Kerry has done it again. He seems to have an inbred
susceptibility to criticizing America’s
troops. John Kerry’s comments yesterday about our soldiers being stuck in Iraq
because they didn’t study and they weren’t “smart” enough are reminiscent of
his testimony in 1971 to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee likening our
soldiers to Genghis Khan or his comments to Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation”
that our soldiers in Iraq were terrorizing women and children. To paraphrase
the late Ann Richards, George W.’s gubernatorial opponent in Texas, “Poor John! He can’t help it. He was
born with a silver foot in his mouth.”
Can you imagine, if the 2004 presidential election had gone
differently, John Kerry would now be the commander-in-chief. Iraq
would be America’s second Vietnam; Iran
and North Korea would be
competing to see who could nuke America
first; and John Kerry would be appealing to the UN to save our butts. The UN might
form a committee to think about condemning America for antagonizing the aggressors.
I shutter at the thought.
The only bright spot is this dashes any hopes that John
Kerry may have had for the Democratic presidential candidate spot in 2008. If
Hillary had said this, the Republicans could start measuring the White House
drapes.
