That "internationalist" stuff is scary. If we used our military as the UN dicates, we would be spread around the world on pointless "peacekeeping" missions while OBL and Saddam would be building the WMD to destroy us. Kerry tries hard to hide it, but he's ultra left-wing on national security policy. He wants to cede de facto control of the US military to the Europeans and all the thugs and tyrants who run the corrupt 3rd world countires in the UN. He's not qualified to be a US senator, and certainly not qualifed to be President.
bttt
I agree. Bush should have blown him up on this and I could not believe he let it go. Huge opportunity missed.
Most important thread on the forum this morning. A must read. The American people need to wake up and realize the hell this man would create.
This man is very, very dangerous.
"They always blame America first."
Yes ---- Kerry is scary --- I don't really care too much about the ancient past --- Vietnam ---- if he had changed in the decades since then it would be different --- but he's worse.
Kerry is showing his colors last night.
This is what needs to be told to the people. First Los Alamos via Clinton has given away the designs for the nukes to China. Now Kerry wants to give up our nukes. Maybe if we are defenseless it will pass Kerry's "Global Test."
I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, this has been his stance since he's been in the Senate, I just didn't think he'd dare let on to the American people how radical a pacifist he really is.
Another thought that immediately came to mind was, has this information been publicly released? I'd never heard of a bunker busting nuclear weapon, kinda surprised to hear a US Senator talk about a developing weapon on an internationally televised event. The foreign relations negatives of suggesting our government is irresponsible in it's development, keeping and deployment of nuclear weapons are astronomical. The only plus side is it might scare the hell out of our enemies.....many more of which will now support Kerry for sure.
Oh wow, man, it's like the 60's all over again!!!
This was Kerry's "colosal" blunder.
What this statement by JFK revealed, moreover, is that he is more concerned about the tender sensibilities of our enemies than the safety of our country. Tell me, you all: who would be offended by the existence of bunker-busting nukes in the hands of the US military? Answer: Iran and N. Korea. Kerry knows that those two situations are extremely tense, and one leg of his solution is not to p*ss them off; and the development of such nukes would in fact p*ss them off. So Kerry--and in this aspect he reflects perfectly the position of his party--views this kind of weapons program the obstacle to peace; but Bush etc would see this weapons system as the means to peace because it would intimidate the enemy to exercise some caution. So I agree: this statement from Kerry is very, very revealing and should be brought up repeatedly by Bush in the 2nd debate.
It's one thing to win a debate but it sure as hell is another to start giving the farm away (ie. the safety net that makes America strong in the world).
That giving uranium to Iranian idea is just as stupid as can be. Yet no one in the media is questioning it.
It just blows me away that people didn't want to hear what the guy was actually saying. I think it really is very important that someone in the Bush43 team start airing some serious ads targeting these insane responses from sKerry.
I see a big time commercial being used against Kerry on this one.
I disagree, people need to be led around on a string to see these things. GWB should have destroyed Kerry on basic things.
GWB should have broken the rules and simply asked Kerry:
"So you are in favor ofgiving Iran and North Korea more nuclear materials while dismantling our nuclear program????????"
Give Iran uranium and then shut own program down? What an nuance!
God help us if the idiot who thinks our own weapons program is the enemy becomes president of the United States.
"This man is a danger to this country, and he must not be allowed to be in charge of anything."
What about the public library in mayberry?
