Kerry's Plan for Iraq: Tooth Ferry Diplomacy

John Kerry is dangerous. I'm not joking. John Kerry's official "Plan" to "Win the Peace in Iraq"

-Persuade NATO to make the security of Iraq one of its global missions and to deploy a portion of the force needed to secure and win the peace in Iraq.

-Convene a summit of the world's major powers as well as states in the region....

-Give other countries a stake in Iraq's future by encouraging them to help develop Iraq's oil resources.....

It goes on and on like this. He either tells us he will do the same thing Bush is doing, only somehow France will give a rat's ass because it's John Kerry doing the talking, or he tells us that he will do the same thing Bush is doing, only somehow the fit won't hit the shan because it's John Kerry doing it. I have criticised Bush for his venture away from realpolitik toward something that increasingly looks like utopianism. But Bush's fantasy about a democratic Muslim state aint got nothing on John Kerry's megalomania. His view of international relations would make my college freshman blush.

To recap Kerry's plan: a) call meetings b) do same thing as Bush only better cause I'm not Bush

Tooth Ferry Diplomacy indeed.

1 This gynocratic notion that we need to "win the peace" is total nonsense. It's a war. If you don't get that then no one can help you.

4 If nations acted based upon liking a guy, I would vote for Kerry. Unfortunately, nations still act because of national interests. Diplomacy is the art of clarifying interests, not begging.

6 Yes yes and Kerry will go back to the shining light of the democratic institutions ~ the United Nations. You know the place. It's a place where unelected representatives/dictators of whole swaithes of people get to go and play democracy games with the elected folk.
