John Kerry has stated that the United States “acted unilaterally” when a 30-plus nation coalition liberated Iraq. He called the nations of this coalition “the coalition of the duped, the coerced and the bribed.”

I am sure that Great Britain, Australia, Poland, Italy, Japan, South Korea and the other 25 or so nations who are presently in Iraq are very gratified to know what John Kerry thinks of them, their mission and their sacrifice.

Mr. Kerry has a very unique way of building bridges with our allies, as he has promised he will do if he is elected president.

John Kerry has stated the Iraqi war was the “wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time,” and he proved it by voting against supplying our brave soldiers with the necessary equipment to fight this war.

The only consistency that John Kerry has ever shown in his life is his consistent public criticism of the U.S. military, which provided aid, comfort and incentive to our enemies in North Vietnam 30 years ago, and now provides the same to our enemies in the Middle East today. This used to be called treason, but in today’s Stalinist Democratic Party, it earns you the nomination to run against President Bush.

John Kerry’s complete lack of core beliefs and core values are puzzling at best and frightening at worst.

I could go on for another 50,000 words why a John Kerry presidency would be an absolute disaster for the United States.
