Cheney vs. Kerry

[low_delta]

Kerry, who was in Ohio on Thursday, said of Allawi: "I think the prime minister is obviously contradicting his own statement of a few days ago, where he said the terrorists are pouring into the country. The prime minister and the president are here obviously to put their best face on the policy, but the fact is that the CIA estimates, the reporting, the ground operations and the troops all tell a different story."

I must say I was appalled at the complete lack of respect Senator Kerry showed for this man of courage, when he rushed to hold a press conference and attack the prime minister, a man America must stand beside to defeat the terrorists," Cheney told several thousand supporters.

"John Kerry is trying to tear down all the good that has been accomplished, and his words are destructive to our effort in Iraq and in the global war on terror," Cheney said. "As Prime Minister Allawi said in his speech, and I quote, 'When political leaders sound the siren of defeatism in the face of terrorism, it only encourages more violence.' End quote."

ugh. One thing that has been clear throught this thing, that my English friends have commented out, is that Blair has been acting like Bush's poodle for the past 4 years. It's very good to have the Brits standing beside the US in international affairs, but it's almost disgusting to see the effects of politics. I'd have to attribute many of Blair's flipflops to feedback from Shrublet... which is where my English friends get the "poodle" bit from.

How dare Kerry tell the truth!! By telling the truth, he is HELPING THE TERRORISTS! Even, um, when it's about terrorist troop movements. ?

Recently, Kerry spoke about his plan for Iraq, and Cheney busted him for announcing to the terrorists that he would be pulling our troops out, thereby making it look like the terrorists were winning. But before that, Kerry wasn't giving details of a plan, and so was the wrong leader. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
