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."

"Other countries are obviously more willing to accept responsibilities," he added, as he took questions from reporters in a school yard in Tipton, Iowa.

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.

Now 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.

Heck, if we get Gondor and/or Rohan, I don't think we need France.

Who needs those countries?

Narnia!!!!!!

Best laugh all week. Thanks.

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.

The Kerry campaign is also implicitly admitting that they would have left Saddam in power, if they had had the choice.

I blogged about this here.

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.

Again, Ace shows he's a class act with his honor code of linkage. Thanks, dude.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
