Kerry: "If I Were President This Wouldnt Have Happened"
Kerry knocks Bush on handling of Mideast conflict
U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.
"If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John's bar and grill in Detroit's Cass Corridor.
Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East," Kerry said. "We're going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it."
Kerry lost by a narrow margin to Bush in 2004 and plans to seek the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2008.
Today marks the 13th day of fighting between Israel and Lebanon. Israel launched air strikes after Hezbollah militants, whom operate within Lebanon, kidnapped two Israeli soldiers in an attempt to swap them for prisoners.
Israel began a ground invasion, sending tanks and troops across the border as thousands of Lebanese have fled to escape the fighting.
Hezbollah guerillas should have been targeted with other terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaida and the Taliban, which operate in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kerry said. However, Bush, has focused military strength on Iraq.
"This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq.…We have to destroy Hezbollah," he said.

Yeah! OK! I suppose if Kerry were President he would have single handedly dissarmed Hamass and Hezblahhhh. He had combat experience you remember. He wouldnt have targeted anyone, he doesnt even believe we are in a Global War On Terror! Does Kerry need a reminder that we have 2.5 MILLION people In the US Armed Forces, and only 135,000 of them are in Iraq? Or maybe Kerry would have negotiated with Hezblahhh and Hamass and told them PLEASE dont kidnap Israeli Soldiers and fire rockets into Israel! Everyone knows Iran was behind this, and who runs Iran? A TERRORIST! WE DONT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST'S MR. KERRY. This guy has no strategy, and is still a flip flopper. Liberal Plan: Do Nothing, But Say You Could Have Done It Better!

Hey, unlike Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at least Kerry served in Vietnam.
No sir,
Mr. Kerry did not serve in Viet Nam. He went to Viet Nam to pad is resume in the hopes of becoming the new Jack Kennedy...difference was JFK actually went to serve and had some backbone and ethics.
Kerry is nothing more than a self-promoting amoral opportunist and he no more fit to be President than he is to be a senator; which is not at all.
Actually, Seaspook, that was sarcasm. (See www.opinionjournal.com)
Mr. Kerry is probably fit to be the junior senator from Chappaquiddick, but that's due only to the unspeakable depravity of the Bay State's electors.
Of course Kerry served in Vietnam. For about 120 days. It's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, who never served in Vietnam.
Purple,
Oh right Kerry didn't serve in Vietnam? Funny how it's fact that he did. I suppose you fascists also think Murtha didn't serve just because they criticize George 'too big of a pussy to serve in Vietnam' Bush and his disasterous presidency!
Kerry served in Nam alright, he raised village's, murdered innocent women and children, declared he remember's being in Cambodia on Christmas Eve when they weren't any where near there, got shot in the ass and got a Purple Heart for that, shot himself in the foot and got a Purple Heart for that, the 3rd Purple Heart (I forgot how he got that one, he was probably high half the time he was there) but it was in question also, then proceeded to take the medals he DID earn and throw them over the White House Wall!!
Yep he's a true war hero alright!
A War Criminal more like it.
And he never has released his 180 form, which President Bush did.
And just because Bush was never "Deployed" to Viet Nam doesnt mean he didnt serve, I know people right now that are in the Military stationed in this Country or other Countries and some of them are in Iraq and some arent!
Google Bush's pay stubs from that time, his are on the internet, Kerry's arent. It's simple, if you dont SERVE you dont get PAID it's that easy.
Bush got PAID!
This nonsense about Bush being AWOL is just simply not true.
Do you know ANYTHING about the Military?
And Murtha? He has just plumb lost his damn mind, but by both of them continuously bitching about our troops, they are undermining the war on terror, giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and are commiting TREASON!
Fuck Republicans, Fuck George Bush and Fuck Israel. We would be much better off with Kerry. Or anybody besides Bush for that matter.
Ha! Well I will not lower myself to name calling, but at least Bush had the balls to go after the terrorist's unlike the previous administration's, and if you thought none of this "Uprising" was going to occur no matter who was in office you are sadly mistaken.
At least Israel had the balls to go after those terrorist Morons who swiped 3 of thier Soldiers and started firing rockets into thier Country.
If UN Resolution 1559 was inforced and Hezblahhhh was disarmed, and maybe if the UN would EVER inforce ANY of thier damned resolutions this shit wouldnt be going on right now!
GO ISRAEL!!!!!!! I HOPE THEY KILL EVERY LAST TERRORIST BASTARD THEY FIND!
Ossama who? oh thats right we never did 'smoke em out of his hole' Maybe because Bush needs him as a fear tactic. I doesn't fuckin fly anymore neocons. We are taking our country back and it will not be pretty
Maybe you should wonder about the previous administration who had a chance to get Usama 3 TIMES!!! And that was after he declared war on the United States in 1998.
Had they have got him when Sudan offered him up we wouldnt have had 9-11.
I mean it really says something when Usama comes out with a video tape in support of Kerry just before the 2004 election, gee maybe it was because BUSH HAS BOMBED HIS ASS SO BAD AND CHASED HIS ASS UP INTO THE HILLS THAT HE IS REDUCED TO SENDING AUDIO TAPES VIA DONKEYBACK TO AL JAZEERA!!
Better off with John Kerry? Are you serious? I wouldnt want any sniveling little weasel like that for MY President, I want MY President to have the balls to put an end to this terrorist bullshit.
Kerry never was and never will be up to the job.
Taking the Country back?
I highly doubt it, you all on the left remind me of people that get so pissed off that they didnt get thier way, that they start yelling, stomping thier feet, and foaming at the mouth and crap.
YOU ARE ALL UNHINGED!!!
Maybe you should be looking at the reasons you guy's let power slip away from yall to begin with.
Having NO plan and being weak on defense comes to mind.
Uncle P,
It's easy to get Kerry and Ahmadinejad confused. I mean the similarities are astounding.
Wait a minute, C. Naios. Are you saying Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did serve in Vietnam?
News to me.
C. Niaos,
So I guess you dont like my blog?
