John Kerrys Global Test
The Washington Dispatch | 1 Oct
While most of the debate last night was a tightly orchestrated snooze fest, a frightening picture did slip through. No it wasnt the facial contortions of President George W. Bush, or the orange skin tone of John F. Kerry. The most frightening part of the debate was when John Kerry let slip that he would actually put American security to a global test.
Mr. Kerry made it crystal clear on how he would handle any attacks on America and any pre-emptive actions that America may need in the future to defend the country. John Kerry says that any decision he would make to defend America would be put to a vote from the global community and if and only if---the global test was approved by the French, the Germans and the United Nations, America could proceed in defending itself.
The senator sent a very mixed message when he began with this clumsy disclaimer addressed to the American voter, No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. That sounded good, but the Internationalist" in Kerry just couldnt quit, and he let his true colors shine through. He contiuned, But if and when you do, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.
John Kerrys fixation with the United Nations approval is frightening. How much of Americas sovereignty would John Kerry surrender to foreigners with his global test?
