Shock: Kerry Admits French and German Troops in Iraq "Unlikely"Apparently Kerry will also fail his self-declared Global Test: "Does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they are not. I know that," he said. Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained." Ummm, follow-up, please? Which countries are these that Kerry asserts are "more willing to accept responsibilities"? Narnia? Oz? Gondor? And on that point, James Lileks writes that Kerry's Global Test fails the Reality Test. Update-- Forgot to Credit: I had dozens of windows open and I couldn't track back to who tipped me to Kerry's admission regarding French and German troops. It was Allah, by way of Right On Red. posted by Ace at 02:30 PM
CommentsNow I am really depressed - how can we possibly win the war without French troops? Oh well, I guess Iraq did not pass the global test but then again neither did Rwanda or Sudan. Posted by: Dittybopper on October 6, 2004 03:07 PM
Heck, if we get Gondor and/or Rohan, I don't think we need France. Posted by: SparcVark on October 6, 2004 03:25 PM
Who needs those countries? Posted by: Johnny Catbird on October 6, 2004 03:37 PM
Narnia!!!!!! Best laugh all week. Thanks. Posted by: Longshanks on October 6, 2004 03:40 PM
Kerry's getting too damn close to me again. What the hell is he trying to do, put John Deere out fo the Manure Spreader business? Posted by: PCD on October 6, 2004 03:49 PM
A first I laughed a Narnia, but think about it. Those guys know how to fight. I mean there army is imaginary, but so is France's. Plus we would have the God/Lion Aslan on our side. I am sure Aslan could kill Allah (and I don't mean our blogging friend Allah). Now that would be a debate or fight I would want to see: Aslan vs. Allah!

Whenever I want someone to help in a noble cause, I ALWAYS pull up beside them, give them a gentle nudge in the ribs and whisper: "hey, you want to trade some of your young for our young in body bags?" he's so nuanced. Posted by: moflicky on October 6, 2004 06:55 PM
The Kerry campaign is also implicitly admitting that they would have left Saddam in power, if they had had the choice. Posted by: the House of Payne on October 6, 2004 07:25 PM
I'm actually interested in what would happen if Kerry won. Would he return Saddam to Iraq put him back in power, pull our troops, hand him a few billion as compensation, and re-instate sanctions? Obviously, if they think this war is a mistake, then they should be undoing it, like they think the tax cuts were a mistake and they will roll them back. If they think the world is no more safer, and in some speeches, even more dangerous because of the Iraq affair, wouldn't this make us safer? Why would they go looking for people to sign up for a war that is wrong, and even they don't believe in? Interesting how many mistakes Kerry & Co have made on this campaign. I hate to think of the double talk he would pull as president. Posted by: DelphiGuy on October 6, 2004 10:42 PM
Again, Ace shows he's a class act with his honor code of linkage. Thanks, dude. Posted by: Johnny Walker Red on October 7, 2004 03:15 AM

Wow, Katie Perry is having a rough couple of years: like her career, her engagement to Orlando Bloom is now over
The Trump Curse strikes again. She went from an apolitical ditz to a Hillary Clinton Crusader in 2016 and her career bottomed out like Hillary Clinton's blood sugar level after a weekend of vodka and self-pity. The Trump Curse even follows you into space, yo. Or at least into the lower upper atmosphere.

Republican running for Mitch McConnell's seat literally trashes him in new ad
It's the anniversary of the Biden debate debacle.
Biden's senility becomes undeniable. The Democrats pronounced that he had clearly triumphed in the debate. How CNN reported Biden's "intense" debate prep before the debate and then after. Amy Klobuchar predicted victory. The Washington Examiner looks back at the Night of Great Stuttering.
Kari Lake, just when I think you couldn't get any dumber, you pull a stunt like this, and totally redeem yourself!!!
I think the Democrat is arguing that the political appointees should exercise no control over their rabidly communist VOA employees. This is what they're always arguing -- they stock the bureaucracy with literal communists and then claim that the voters should have no control over these unfirable radicals. Lake offers a for-instance that will appeal to this Democrat of allegedly-suspect bedroom guests.
