Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry, telling a hometown crowd of 1,200 last night that his "fighting mood" would drive him to victory in November, extended his criticism of President Bush's handling of Iraq to say that America had lost its "moral authority" as a global peacekeeper, and singled out the "genocide" in Darfur as a crisis where the United States had been unable to help. Kerry told his Boston Convention Center audience, gathered for a $2.5 million fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee, that Bush had made "a mess" out of a range of issues, including health care, school management, and "America's ability to lead the world, as we ought to be in a place like Darfur, in Sudan -- where genocide is taking place, but we're not able to move because we're bogged down as we are in Iraq and we've lost our moral authority."

Moral Authority: Is he referring to Dem backed Abortion?

I watched a tape of this speech.. Kerry went on to state that we would be in fighting mood late in September or early October. Does he really schedule his fighting moods?
'Moral' & 'Democrat' should never be used together.
Kerry isn't just

Did this guy not hang out with guys when he was a teenager? Talking about your "fighting mood" is a sure sign of a total wimp. Man, he just doesn't get it.
Iraq was a humanitarian crisis as much as Sudan.
Of course silly!
He 'summered' with young, Frenchmen on the Brittany Coast of France... and what a 'saucy' bunch they were! He got his 'hard-edge' by hustling rich, French widows for pocket money. At extravagant affairs he would eat his caviar with a butterknife... how bold can you get?!
Saucy!!! Now that really fits.
Do the math.
Mmmmmm, I don't think so.

What in the hell is the U.S. national interest in Darfur?
Darfur? Of course its an indictment of Ketchup Boy's reliance on the UN and the multilateral process. Hundreds of thousands have been butchered and tens of thousands more are homeless. But you won't hear liberals reconsider their attachment to the UN God. After all everything that goes wrong in the world is America's fault - and according to John F*ckin' we are to blame because we lost our "moral authority." Throw in a little America-bashing for good measure. The Blame America First Democrats are still at it - the ones Jeanne Kirkpatrick described with such devastating effectiveness at the 1984 Republican National Convention. Indeed, the more things change, the more they remain the same...
In case you haven't noticed, our troops are in IRAQ and Afghanistan; we cannot be every where at once. Remeber all those military appropriations you voted against?
What happened to your European buddies? I thought you could talk them into doing anything you want. Well, talk to France, Germany et al. Lay out your plan, morality and, if you do it, I will vote for you. I will get quite sick, but I won't flip flop.
The UN can't do squat. They are waiting for US and we cannot police the entire world at one time.
'Ol horsefaced jackass better watch out... his buddies at the UN don't 'wanna go near sanctions... for Sudan anyway. They're more interested in putting sanctions on us for Iraq and Israel for the 'wall'. UN in this context means UN-AMERICAN or Anti-American - our enemies.
He'll lurch at anything. As others have pointed out, he's got only himself to blame. He would have been influential with a Clinton Administration that let thousands die. Bush was criticized for being Bush, from day one. Even hours after the attack on 9/11 he was being criticized for flying around, and the attack on him was relentless during the supposed 'bipartisan peace' that the Dem are always talking about now. If Bush had proposed a Sudanese intervention, he would have been criticized 24/7 before the 'blogs' had really got going.
And, now, I think most are dead. It's not too late to save those who are not. But this thing is on Clinton's head. The Congress can't make war. But the President can request authority from Congress. And Clinton did not.
