Chutzpah Watch II
If you haven't heard it, Command Post has the text of Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi's speech before Congress.
John Kerry not only refused to attend, he got on national TV immediately after to piss all over it. He came as close as possible to calling PM Allawi a liar. I suppose that Jo_Ke figures the foreign leaders he meets with in restaurants in NYC know better what is going on in Iraq than its own PM.
This is the way to win friends and influence people? John Kerry consistently bad mouths the members of the Coalition and then waxes vague about how he will "repair" relations with "the world." (um, Jo_Ke? How? You always veer off to other topics when "how" comes up. Or are you counting just on the power of your sparkling personality to have Kofi, France and Germany falling at your feet?)
Charles Krauthammer writes:
The terrorists' objective is to intimidate all countries allied with America. Make them bleed and tell them this is the price they pay for being a U.S. ally. The implication is obvious: Abandon America and buy your safety.That is what the terrorists are saying. Why is the Kerry campaign saying the same thing?
Why, indeed.
And let's not forget that venal Kofi is in the terrorists' corner, too.
[Allawi] expressed annoyance with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan for suggesting last week that there could not be "credible elections" if violence doesn't abate by January.

Allawi said he asked U.N. officials in Iraq whether they were privy to inside information about a postponement. Their answer was no, the prime minister said.
Kofi is up to his scrawny neck with the UN oil for food scandal, so one could almost expect him to be nostalgic for the good old days of Saddam. However, Camp Kerry's stance has to give one pause.
WTF is Jo_Ke thinking?
