Mark Steyn, I must say, is a wonderful writer. He reflects on Kerrys comments on Prime Minister Allawi. A sample:
"What a small, graceless man Kerry is. The nature of adversarial politics in a democratic society makes George W. Bush his opponent. But it was entirely Kerrys choice to expand the field, to put himself on the other side of Allawi and the Iraqi people. Given his frequent boasts that he knows how to reach out to Americas allies, its remarkable how often he feels the need to insult them: Britain, Australia, and now free Iraq. But, because this pampered cipher has floundered for 18 months to find any rationale for his candidacy other than his indestructible belief in his own indispensability, Kerry finds himself a month before the election with no platform to run on other than American defeat. He has decided to co-opt the jihadist death-cult, the Baathist dead-enders, the suicide bombers and other misfits and run as the candidate of American failure. This would be shameful if he werent so laughably inept at it."
Interesting - Kerry fawns all over those nations who oppose the United States and insults those who are on our side.
Yep, this is the guy to "repair" relations with our allies ....
