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

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021.
