Why We Thank God John Kerry Was a Terrible Candidate
Here is a little story about what John Kerry, the 'general discharged' Vietnam war hero, thinks about the war Islamic extremists have been waging against us since 1979. He thinks no such war exists. Money quote:
We hadn't declared war. So by that 'logic' we were not at war with Japan on December 7, 1941 because we hadn't yet declared war. Is this guy a maroon or what?
A state of war exists when either side declares war or commits a warlike act, like bombing our ships at Pearl Harbor or bombing the Cole or bombing our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. It doesn't have to be reciprocal.
Here is the fatwa (declaration of hostilities) issued by Osama bin Laden in August, 1996 and here is the shorter, more direct declaration of war on us, issued by Osama bin Laden on February 23, 1998. Money quote:
Obama doesn't know where Auschwitz is or what a disaster Kennedy's meeting with Khrushchev in Vienna was. Kerry doesn't know about al Qaeda's declarations of war years before 9/11. Besides Joe Lieberman, is there a single Democrat in a leadership role who has even the faintest clue of what's actually happening in the world? You at least have to wonder.
Oh yeah, here's the kicker, at the same time John Kerry is proving he lives in the Democratic alternate reality, he throws this projection/insult:
Kerry also called John McCain "out of step with history and facts."
"Hello, kettle? John 'Pot' Kerry here; you're black."
UPDATE: Captain Ed Morrissey makes almost precisely the same point. Great minds, etc.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) believes that on September 11 "we were basically at peace."
Asked to clarify his remarks, specifically asking about the attacks on the U.S.S. Cole during Barack Obama campaign conference call, Kerry said, "well, we hadn't declared war..."?

...we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim.

If you’re interested in the issue of Obama, Islam and whether he might be a Muslim apostate, you might want to check out “Muslim scholar responds to ‘Sharia smear’ against Obama” -- http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2008/05/30/muslim-scholar-responds-to-sharia-smear-against-obama/ -- on the Reuters FaithWorld blog.
I read some about this but I'm not interested, really. The last thing I'm worrying about regarding Obama is what religion he may or may not have been exposed to as a child. It's the Marxist nonsense he seems to embrace which I find particularly disturbing. Thanks for the comment
Takes one to know one indeed. Kerry is an idiot, but even he can see that McCain is hopelessly out of touch with the facts. I'm guessing you agree.
1. Iran funding Al Qaeda
2. Down to pre-surge levels in Iraq
3. Quiet in Mosul
I could go on, but you get the point. The fact that McCain is running on a platform that Obama is out of touch on Iraq should be very worrisome for you and your ilk.

I'll give you the last two points are mistakes--the troop levels are obviously still up and we're finishing off al Qaeda in Mosul so there is battle there not quiet. I'm not sure these are major "hopeless" mistakes but they are mistakes. But let's have it out about the first point. You seem to parrot the idea that Shia Iran would never have anything to do with Sunni al Qaeda? Do I have that right?
