Allawi, Kerry, the Press and Bush

I was stunned this week. Not an unusual thing for me this year. First, I was stunned that Kerry, who should have been in his seat in Congress for the Allawi speech, basically crapped all over Allawi. It was terribly undiplomatic for a man who talks incessantly about restoring relations with our allies. What? He doesn't consider a free Iraq an ally?

Second, my jaw dropped and locked as I watched the press ignore Allawi and instead ask Bush terribly politically motivated questions. I guess it can't be called a Left Wing Conspiracy because they are so open about it. Can't have a conspiracy when you aren't secretive about it.

Kerry does not need our current allies, the bribed and coerced, because he is counting on France to bail him out. Kerry's sister telling the Aussies they are less safe because they joined the coalition in Iraq was also an indication that our most steadfast allie is no longer needed. If Kerry can just get all of the allies to pull out, he can prove Bush a failure. Kerry will pull our military out and bring them home so we can wage war on our soil and leave the poor Iraqis to suffer the same fate as the S. Vietnamese.
