Krauthammer on Kerry's False Plan

Via (LGF)

Charles Krauthammer has some insight into Kerry’s false “plan” for brining France and the other Euroweenies into the “coalition”

The centerpiece of John Kerry’s foreign policy is to rebuild our alliances so the world will come to our help, especially in Iraq. He repeats this endlessly because it is the only foreign policy idea he has to offer. The problem for Kerry is that he cannot explain just how he proposes to do this. The mere appearance of a Europhilic fresh face is unlikely to so thrill the allies that French troops will start marching down the streets of Baghdad. Therefore, you can believe that Kerry is just being cynical in pledging to bring in the allies, knowing that he has no way of doing it. Or you can believe, as I do, that he means it. He really does want to end America’s isolation. And he has an idea how to do it. For understandable reasons, however, he will not explain how on the eve of an election. Think about it: What do the Europeans and the Arab states endlessly rail about in the Middle East? What (outside Iraq) is the area of most friction with U.S. policy? What single issue most isolates America from the overwhelming majority of countries at the United Nations? The answer is obvious: Israel.

Wolves

The "closer" ad for GWB. Reminicient of "Bears" form Regan.
Hat Tip (HindRocket)

From ABC's "The Note"

As for the new Bush ad, the AP says the spot is, "reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's 'Bear' ad that was credited with framing the 1984 race, (and) shows a dense forest from above. Scurrying is heard as the camera plunges deeper into the woods and pans sunlight-speckled trees. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen amid the forest. Then, the ad reveals the type of animal: a pack of wolves rest on a hill. As the commercial closes, the cunning and ruthless predators stir, crawling toward the camera." One Bush adviser tells ABC News, "The ad was produced and tested months ago. Voter reaction was so powerful that we decided to hold the ad to the end of the campaign and make it ONE of the closing spots. It will run to the end." The campaign says the ad will start to air today on national cable and in local markets in battleground states. The AP is reporting the ad will run in 14 states and that with the RNC, the campaign is spending about $15 million total on TV ads this week.

Is This the Beginning of the End?

Was just listening to Boortz and he was chatting with a very agitated caller from Florida. This guy's opinion was that GWB will win the electoral (true and only recognized) vote, but JFK will win the popular vote, which will put us into the litigation cycle again.

He went on to rant about how the left is using legal strategy as a first course of action in this election. They have set out plans for pre-emptive strikes in battleground areas, have called for an early declaration of victory, even if it is not apparent, have screamed disenfranchisement before anything has happened and so on and so on.

Boortz brought up the point that the left is clamoring for illegal aliens to be able to vote, for Europeans to be able to vote, for anyone with an interest to be able to vote....all in the hopes that they will overwhelm the polls with shear numbers.

If they succeed in compromising this election, he asks: "Is this the beginning of the end?" I think, sadly, it is.

We need this to be a full-throttle, mandate slamming victory for GWB, so there is no hint of a victory for JFK.
