John Kerry - the Candidate of American Failure

Mark Steyn wrote about Kerry's insults to Ayad Allawi, the first prime minister of post-Saddam Iraq last week, drawing our attention to the fact that while Kerry boasts frequently of his ability to reach out to America's allies, he misses no opportunity to insult them. Free Iraq isn't unique to Kerry's disdain, just add it to the list.

Steyn notes What a small, graceless man Kerry is, and that point is well taken. Kerry asked pointedly whether Allawi was "living in fantasyland" when Allawi made remarks on the situation in Iraq. This to the man that lives the terror 24/7? This from the candidate that is going to call summits with world leaders and talk his way to world peace. Insult them first then bring them to the table?

Kerry continues to press his anti-war rhetoric, all the while sustaining the efforts of America's enemies. Steyn continues: Kerry finds himself a month before the election with no platform to run on other than American defeat. He has decided to co-opt the jihadist death-cult, the Baathist dead-enders, the suicide bombers and other misfits and run as the candidate of American failure.

I couldn't agree more.
