With Iran, Think Before You Speak (Evil Neocons Out to Get 0bambi) - Revenge of Lurch Barf Alert

NYT ^ | 6/18/2009 | John "I'm still a traitor" Kerry

[mojito]

THE grass-roots protests that have engulfed Iran since its presidential election last week have grabbed America’s attention and captured headlines — unfortunately, so has the clamor from neoconservatives urging President Obama to denounce the voting as a sham and insert ourselves directly in Iran’s unrest....

....What comes next in Iran is unclear. What is clear is that the tough talk that Senator McCain advocates got us nowhere for the last eight years. Our saber-rattling only empowered hard-liners and put reformers on the defensive....

[mojito]

Laughable, when it isn't pathetic.

Does anyone, other than John Kerry, listen to John Kerry anymore?

put reformers on the defensive

Name them and tell us how they were affected by anything we did.

I heard he was in Vietnam. Maybe as a male prostitute or something. Not sure.

What is clear is that the tough talk that Senator McCain advocates got us nowhere for the last eight years.

No, stupid, it got us a free Iraq, Hezbollah defeated in the Lebanese elections, Syria out of the nuclear weapons business, and a million people in the streets of Tehran. Now shut up and let adults run foreign policy for a change.

If only Kerry had gone to Vietnam...

[El Cid]

What is clear is that the tough talk that Senator McCain advocates got us nowhere for the last eight years...

Other than the taste of free elections, and a thirst for freedom in a part of the world where it was heretofore a far away foreign concept...

But the current administration and their enablers will 'fix' that silly notion.

[Shermy]

Wait a minit...

I thought the “neo-conservatives” wanted A-Jad to win!

I know so, there were many lefties taking glee in that argument.

Is Kerry bating Jew-haters, or doing the Alinsky thing and aiming to distract liberals?

[kromike]

Definition of Hell: being a family member forced to attend holiday gatherings and having to listen to this pompous ass drone on and on.

Quick poll, who is the most agonizing to listen to:

1)"Ready for doody" Jon Carry
2)"Cackles" Hillary
3)"Lockbox" Al Gore
4)"FOX News doesn't love me" Oh-butt-muh

[OldSmaj]

Idiotic drivel written by a toothy wanna-be-a-Brahmin whose only real claim to fame is the fact that he married an heiress to a ketchup empire.

Mr. Kerry, please take Mr. Obama by the hand, and the both of you proceed straight to hell.

Thank you.

Always the “evil neocons” bit with NYT.
Are they bankrupt yet cause I know for a fact that their readership continues to spiral downward.

[expatpat]

Here is a man who is on the wrong side of EVERY issue.......

[crazyhorse691]

Kerry trying desperately to deflect attention away from the fact that the stolen Iranian election was made possible by the Great Zeros naivety and just plain old stupidity.

[VeniVidiVici]

LOL! Thank God it's a sub!
