Iraq is Equivalent of BAY OF PIGS???
Anyone who desires proof that John Kerry is dumber than a box of hair got a gift-wrapped package with a big rhetorical bow on top today.
Pontificating at a rally in Toledo, OH, BrahMan actually said this:
"Can you imagine President Kennedy ... standing up and telling the American people he couldn't think of a single mistake that he had made? When the Bay of Pigs went sour, John Kennedy had the courage to look America in the eye and say to America 'I take responsibility, it is my fault.'
"Mr. President, it is long since time for you to start taking responsibility for the mistakes that you've made."
What a dumbass. Oh, you could say that he thinks his audience is a pack of drooling, knuckle-dragging mongoloids that thinks the Bay of Pigs is the annual NFL clash between the Packers and the Buccaneers - and you'd be right. But Kerry's statement itself is just so roaringly idiotic that it doesn't even qualify as intelligent enough to be misleading.
The Bay of Pigs didn't "go sour." The Cuban expatriate forces got massacred because President Kennedy chickened out at the last minute and withdrew American air and logistical support. That was his mistake. What he "took responsibility" for was his initial support for an operation from which he flip-flopped, at the cost of hundreds of Cuban patriots' lives.
If this sounds an awful lot like what John Kerry has planned for Iraq, you've been paying plenty of attention. If he gets elected, pulls the plug on Iraq, and the country really does collapse into "chaos" and "civil war," and becomes a Iranian vassal, do you think we'll ever hear this man "look America in the eye" and say "I take responsibility, it's my fault"?
That's a rhetorical question. He'll spend whatever time he has in office blaming every last one of his mistakes on George Bush. Because he's ***JOHN KERRY***, and he doesn't make mistakes.
Candidates and campaigns like Lurch's are what you get when an opposition party becomes brain-deadeningly reactionary. His entire platform consists of not being Dubya, and nothing else. That would be a formula for stagnation and disarray even in peacetime. In the midst of an open-ended (by its very nature) war, it's a formula for multiple disasters.
Unlike his fictitious Vietnam exploits, in the Oval Office John Kerry won't get do-overs complete with film crew to create propaganda footage of how he wants the country to see the events of his reign and how he imagines he must have handled them. Nor will he be able to spin reality into grotesque contortions like Bill Clinton did. This is not the 1990s. There is no longer a Big Media monopoly, as we're finding out again just this week. We no longer live in what George Will used to call "small times" when it was okay to entrust national leadership to small people. We're locked in a war of annihilation with transnational factions of Islamic fanatics who don't want our wealth or territory, but do want the grisly deaths of every last one of us. And they won't stop waging that war against us regardless of whether we stop resisting them.
A John Kerry presidency would be like riding a pogo stick through a minefield. Kerry would ride the pogo stick with such skill, such brilliance, such agility; and the successive explosions, killing hundreds and/or thousands of Americans, would never be his fault. Because, you see, all the mines would be made from the 377 tons of high explosive that George Bush incompetently allowed to be spirited away from al Qaqaa past the snoozing sentries of the 3rd ID and 101st Airborne and the entire Coalition Air Force and the vast network of orbiting surveillance satellites on a caravan of seven invisible, three-humped camels.
Idiot idealism and incorrigibly puerile finger-pointing; I think Americans would get sick of a Kerry administration REAL fast.
How fortunate that pre-emption is still an option.
