The Kerry Solution

John Kerry is quite simply too stupid to be President of the United States. Fortunately for the country, Mr. Kerry is determined to publicly prove that very point. Witness his witless commentary on the war between Hezbollah and Israel at a campaign stop in Detroit.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.
“If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened,” said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John’s bar and grill in Detroit’s Cass Corridor.
Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.
“The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East,” Kerry said.
“We’re going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it.”
Hezbollah guerillas should have been targeted with other terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaida and the Taliban, which operate in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kerry said. However, Bush, has focused military strength on Iraq.

First of all, anyone who paid any sort of attention to the 2004 campaign knows that Kerry has no business being out in public on his own, away from his handlers, and his spokespersons. His infamous run-in with a Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich (swiss cheese, for heavens’ sake!), his ski slope entanglement with his own Secret Service agent, or his well-publicized stint as a sky-blue NASA condom, ought to have established that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. To turn this man loose in a bar (or a church) with a microphone is just asking for trouble.
Now, as usual, there seems to be no shortage of men, and Hillary, who think they ought to be President. And aside from his gawky ineptitude, his totally undistinguished career in the US Senate, and his three dubious Purple Hearts, there isn’t much about Kerry that makes him any more qualified than the rest of the presidential wannabes.
But to claim publicly that armed conflict in the Middle East between Israelis and their more virulent Islamist neighbors would not have happened under a Kerry presidency betrays not only an unwarranted degree of arrogance, but a weapons-grade level of blatant stupidity as well. How can anyone who makes such a statement be taken seriously? The temptation to be embarrassed on Kerry’s behalf is almost overwhelming. Almost.
For in the next moment, the same John Kerry who would have prevented this middle east war, tells us that he would have targeted Hezbollah for military attack himself… by the US.
In other words, SenatorJohn Kerry, who blames the current war with Hezbollah on President Bush, would have prevented the war with Hezbollah… by attacking Hezbollah.
See. I told you the man was too f***ing stupid to be President.
