Disgraceful

Disgraceful

That's the only way to characterize pompous blowhard Kerry-Heinz's supercilious fulminations just moments after Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi -- a man with a price on his head wherever he goes -- spoke to a joint session of Congress. Kerry-Heinz, who has been stealing his Senatorial paycheck for the past year or so, was, of course, not present. He has time for Regis and Letterman, but not the leader of a democratic Iraq.

Kerry, ever the great multilateralist, insulted Allawi, implying the latter was less than truthful regarding the situation in Iraq and is nothing but a shill for the Administration. We fail to see what can be gained by insulting and alienating Allawi, with whom he'd have to work closely should the unthinkable occur and Kerry be elected in November.

But what the hell does Allawi know? He only lives there.

Kerry has previously heaped opprobrium on the nations supporting us in Iraq, calling them a "coalition of the coerced and the bribed." Clearly, Kerry reserves his internationalist affection for those opposed to the best interests of the United States: the Viet Cong, the Sandinistas, the corrupt and incompetent Kofi Annan and his UN, Saddam pal Chirac . . . and on and on . . .

Recently, we had the spectacle of Kerry's sister undermining our staunch Aussie allies.

Kerry spent the years after he returned from Vietnam cavorting with the enemy and slandering his former (and future) "band of brothers", sapping the nation's will to fight on, resulting in the complete betrayal of the South Vietnamese and, ultimately, the slaughter and exile of millions in the region.

He appears intent on a repeat performance with Iraq.
