Kerry Is So Running Again

I was listening to the radio on one of my long daily drives and a caller posed a pretty remarkable question. He argued that Americans are concerned about 3 issues relating to this country.
1. Economy
2. Homeland Security
3. Iraq
So why are the Presidents numbers down in the polls?

Looking at where we stand on each one of these issues I can see the callers point. The economy is doing very well, we have not been attacked in 5 years and Iraq is, in many peoples opinion, being won. So what is the problem? That is an easy one to answer. "Hatred."

I have always felt that once this War was over the American people would realize that supporting the mission was the right decision. I know now that this was a fools hope. The people who hate the President will never give credit where credit is due. In fact, they will instead heap credit upon people who have spent the last 3 years undermining our actions. John Kerry will be at the top of their list. Kerry is already showing signs that he will be expecting the Lions share of the accolades.

Kerry reiterated his position that American troops should be withdrawn by the
end of the year, saying that Iraqi politicians only respond to deadlines.

Oh my God! What is he talking about? Is he suggesting that all the success Iraq enjoys today had nothing to do with the troops actually being over in the Middly East? Is he suggesting that diplomatic pressure is to blame for the free elections and now a free government? And who is the one giving this pressure? Is he suggesting that "Deadlines", which we all know is Kerry's favorite word, is in fact the reason Iraq has been so successful? That is what it sounds like to me.

Also, many people including military officers and President Ford have come forward to denounce the 6 Generals who have called for Rumsfeld resignation.

''Allowing retired generals to dictate our country's policies and its leadership
would be a dangerous precedent that would severely undermine our country's long
tradition of civilian control of the military,'' Ford said.

Amen to that, but how does Kerry feel about people speaking out against the Generals who are trying to dictate policy?

"That is cheap and shameful," he said. "How dare those who never wore the
uniform in battle attack those who wore it all their lives."

Again, What? How can he say such a stupid comment? Especially since many of Kerry's supporters do that very thing. Kerry also said

"We are in the same place as we were when I came home from Vietnam and spoke out against the civilian leaders who were willing to sacrifice America's best in the
interest of political self-preservation,"

Oh I see, so the military should have a part in determining our countries policies. Would he be happy if we formed a military state?
