Kerry badmouths U.S. again

[captenuta]

This January, Kerry was in Davos again at the World Economic Forum Saturday where he told a panel that included former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami America has become "a sort of international pariah." It's all the Bush administration's fault, Kerry said, which no doubt pleased our friends in Iran.

"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.

Kerry knows much about duplicity and hypocrisy - they are the words he lives by. But he knows little of recent history.

The Kyoto Protocols to limit manmade global warming date to the Clinton administration. In 1997, the Senate passed 95-0 a resolution that the United States would never sign a climate agreement that, like Kyoto, did not address carbon dioxide emissions in developing countries or hurt the U.S. economy. As a result, the Clinton administration never submitted the treaty to the Senate for a vote.

Kerry himself voted for the resolution. It seems he was against Kyoto before he was for it.


Once, no decent American leader would ever speak ill of his country while on foreign soil. Politics, it was said, ended at the seashore.

Does America equal "the Bush administration"? This Canadian thinks much more highly of your nation than THAT!!!!!

[Y-NO-9-O]

Disagreeing with the president, IMHO, does not equate to badmouthing America.

Is it that black or white? Seems simplistic.

I thought we already came to the conclusion that Kerry was an idiot.

Simplistic is what Bush does best.
He does his best work pandering to the lowest common denominator by keeping it simple,
like "cut and run", "for us or against us", and his most memorable... "Mission Accomplished!".

Not being able to distinguish between criticism of an administration or its' country seems to play right into his M.O. ....divide and conquer.

Good thing there's now only about 30% of 'em left unfooled. (W's latest approval rating). He's lucky to still have his job...

like watchin' a train wreck, just can't look away

I think it has more to do with the idea that politcal statements about another American should not be made in front of foreign dignitaries. Add to this the fact the Kerry blamed the Bush administration for Kyoto, which did not occur during the Bush administration. It is simple minded political posturing that has no place at an international forum.

That's it exactly.

(For those wondering, I also truly do think Kerry is an idiot, but I'm also unruffled as long as he does the critiquing in an appropriate forum. IMNSHO, this speech was simply a Kerry attempt to ingratiate himself with those he considers smarter than the dumb ol' Americans back home. )

On a side note, what can he offer at this kind of an event other than "Marry a rich widow?"

RR... I really don't want to start a flaming war here, but please DON'T mess with my words. It's not funny and I find it offensive.

If you want to debate, that's fine - but make what you say stand on its own.

Thanks in advance.
