Save it for your hubby, THK

Posted by: ST on December 23, 2005 at 4:28 pm

Senator John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, has written an opinion piece harshly critical of what she perceives as the President’s lackluster response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s recent comments in which he stated that he believed the Holocaust was a “myth” .

While I admit that hearing the President himself give a strong condemnation of the Iranian president’s recent outrageous remarks would be welcome, it should be very clear to Mrs. Heinz-Kerry where the President has stood and has ALWAYS stood on Iran … long before Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the reins. Remember the Axis of Evil speech, Mrs. Heinz-Kerry? The one the President’s critics assailed him on for talking too tough? Do you realize he’s the guy who’s working very closely with other countries in order to try and pressure Iran to abandon their plans to make nuclear weapons?

THK makes some pretty good points in her opinion piece, but I wonder if she’s thought about how things would have worked out on the US/Iran front had her husband been elected:

[John Kerry]: With respect to Iran, the British, French, and Germans were the ones who initiated an effort without the United States, regrettably, to begin to try to move to curb the nuclear possibilities in Iran. I believe we could have done better. I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes. If they weren’t willing to work a deal, then we could have put sanctions together .

So essentially what Senators Kerry and Edwards would have done as President and Vice President would be to offer Iran nuclear fuel in exchange for a ‘promise’ that they wouldn’t use it for nuclear weapons building. Apparently neither of them learned the lesson that we all have from North Korea, who made a similar deal with President Clinton and Jimmy Carter in 1994 that was hailed as the best thing since the invention of the wheel, until we later found out that Kim Jong-Il had no intentions of standing by his promise.

Granted, Kerry’s plan for Iran was put on the table well before Ahmadinejad was even elected, but Iran is not a friend to Israel – in fact, they are sworn enemies of one another, and Kerry promising nuclear fuel to Iran in exchange for a promise that they wouldn’t use it to develop nuclear weapons was one of the most blatant examples of not learning from history that I’ve ever seen on the national stage here.

But, had Kerry been elected President, rest assured that talks with Iran would have been well under way and heck, we might have even given them some of that nuclear fuel they needed.

Would have then been treated to an opinion piece by THK expressing her outrage over how her hubby had mishandled and underestimated Iran? Methinks not. At least this President is trying to STOP Iran from acquiring nukes. THK’s husband would have given them the nuclear fuel they needed in hopes they’d honor a promise not to start a nuke program. And you and I both know, that agreement would never have been honored, and we’d very likely have given the maniac in Iran the very materials he would need in order to do what he’d like to do, which is “wipe Israel off the map.”

    Teresa WHO?! Why doesn’t that old hag go away? :-&

  2. steve says:

    Please, a little rational thought here. On Iran’s eastern border there are 30,000 US troops. On Iran’s western border there are 160,000 US troops. Israel has nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia, a sunni nation and home to the Wahhabists, hates Iran. The US has troops in Oman,Qatar, the UAE and Dubai. Is it possible that Iran is paranoid or are all those troops their because the USA is paranoid? All of those troops in the Middle East are destabilizing the region and must be withdrawn. Israel must get it’s own house in order. bush’s policy,longterm, is suicidal. Peace

  3. stackja says:

    US should withdraw to within its borders and leave the dictators alone. Why that worked between 1919 and 1939, there was peace. And between 1945 and 1950. Should work again. But then those wars in Europe and Asia interrupted the peace. Hitler, Tojo, Kim, and Ho wanted more. While Fidel is waiting for another chance. Peace of the grave?

    (Steve, above.)

    Steve, are you writing the concession speech for the National Democratic Party in the 2006 elections?

  6. Lorica says:

    Yes if JFK would of won the Presidency, and what she is suggesting would of been done, soon after we would be hearing about how Iran will be testing it’s first nuke. Why did John Heinz marry this stupid woman?? She isn’t pretty, and most things I have heard come out of her mouth have only lowered my intelligence they are so stupid. Also I thought this woman changed her name back to Terry Heinze she has dropped the Kerry. Do these people think this is going to draw more supporters to their cause??? And what is their cause, she says it is Anti-Semitism. I am of a mind to think it is get Bush. I wish they would realize that They are never going to run against Bush again. So by attempting to make him look bad they are just making themselves look ignorant. – Lorica

    You said something I didn’t say. Now shove it.-Teresa Heinz Kerry

  8. Dana says:

    You know, we tend to think of defeated presidential candidates telling us how they would have handled things if only the American people had been smart enough to vote for them pretty much as sad-sacks. Now we have the spectacle of a defeated presidential candidate’s wife doing the same thing.

    You know, I don’t seem to recall Richard Nixon or Gerald Ford or George Bush telling us how much better they would have done things, had they won their elections, but we seem to find that from Jimmy Carter and Al Gore and John Kerry; could it be a Democrat thing? (At least Walter Mondale and Mike Dukakis had more class in defeat.)

    And, were 2004 been an election for First Lady, is there any doubt that Laura Bush way outclasses Teresa Heinz?

    Feel sorry for Teresa.
    Every morning Kerry scans the obituaries to see if there are any richer widows available. If Bill Gates dies, Kerry will sit beside Melinda at the funeral.

    If you are not a Christian who believes in Peace, I can accept that. Just do not claim to be either a Christian or a Peacemaker. Making Peace is hard work. For the next 24 hours be completly Peaceful. No tenseness. It is hard work until you make it a habit. Once it becomes a part of who you are then you will be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem. Making war on other human beings is an abomination and cannot be justified in the eyes of God. Peace

  11. Lorica says:

    Steve I have asked you this repeatedly and you have not answered repeatedly. Is this why God told Joshua to “take the promised land” mean to you. Do you think the people in the land was just going to say here you go.

    Here is a tib bit for you straight out of the Holy Bible.

    I know it won’t mean much to you, cause you have your own interpretation of Scripture. But I just gotta correct the ignorant. – Lorica

    You’re forgetting something: every morning Teresa scans the gossip columns, looking for someone with better presidential prospects to marry.

  13. Baklava says:

    Steve is a “bloodbathmaker”.

    He likes to call names. I’ll return the favor. It’d be better to actually debate the cause and effect of solutions and policies but he ignores that debate.

    Steve wrote in lecturing us, “For the next 24 hours be completely peaceful”

    I’d say he should take his own advice. It isn’t peaceful to call people names and bear false witness against your neighbor.

  14. steve says:

    Baklava–Merry Christmas and I’ll catch you on the high ground. Peace

  15. Tom says:

    Each of us should be thankful for the gifts given to us by our forefathers. The authors of the Constitution had the intelligence to guarantee that healthy discussions such as that which has been written above are guaranteed by the document. It’s really shameful that many in today’s society are reduced to name calling, instead of respecting another’s opinion and disagreeing politely by putting forth their position without a litany of hate. Where is it written that in order to get a point across the person who disagrees must be demonized? I’ve never been able to find it anywhere.

    For those of us who can’t seem to get past our pettiness, the rest of the world sure will….and while we bicker we can kiss goodbye any notion of being a leading nation. Those people and nations that don’t concern themselves with demonizing others….Teresa Heinz Kerry, or anyone else for that matter….will pass us by while we nitpick each other to death. Hello? Most of you didn’t even post anything related to the topic. Just because you discuss the fact that THK isn’t “pretty”, Lorica, doesn’t mean that you’ve said anything meaningful relating to the topic. As you’ve probably forgotten what it is, I’ll remind you. She was voicing her opinion against Iran’s President saying that the Holocaust was a myth. Do you see my point? On the one hand…she’s standing up for the six million Jews killed during the holocaust….and on the other, you’re pointing fingers at her because you don’t like the way she looks and questioning Senator Kerry’s rationale for marrying her. This isn’t sixth grade.

    Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a nation full of Nero’s who are beginning to play the fiddle just as Rome starts to burn. Hear this Nero’s…..get over being petty and start to become part of the solution. Stop being so negative and hurtful. Afterall, anyone can tear a house down….but only a few talented people know how to build one from nothing.

  16. Lorica says:

    I agree Tom, I was being petty, with 3 of my words. But mostly I am bitter about people like this and how everything is George Bush’s fault. Read the rest of my post. Hell, her desire to blame Bush is so bad that it only takes her 4 sentences to bring him into her statement, then she spends the next 6 sentences chastising Bush. This is why I don’t consider her opinion relevant. I is more concerned about blaming Bush then anti-semitism. These constant attacks by these hatefilled people have grown tiresome. You know what is relevant. Freedom is a dream catching around the world, including Iran. It is only a matter of time, and George Bush is the President to see it happen. When’s the last time TH said “GW ya did good freeing Iraq”. Never so really I just don’t care about what she says. – Lorica

  17. steve says:

    It has yet to be seen that what bush has done to Iraq will be positive for the USA and the world. The Left believes that the “ends do not justify the means”, and bush will pay a price for his arrogance until he is either impeached or January 20,2009, whichever come first. Peace

  18. Lorica says:

    Well Steve that is because the left won’t listen to anyone but the enemy. If I believed Satan knew the truth, but I was actually deceived, would I know the truth or would I know a lie?? I would think I know the truth. Sadly that would just not be true. The left believes a lie, and refuses to believe any other source than the persons who are telling the lie. Look at the Iraqi people and tell me they are not better off. I think the last election truly did sum it all up. I think the Iraqi’s truly summed it up. Here is one of the Sis’ posts on the subject.

    So Steve try to be less doom and gloom and please stop being so harsh in your judgments. Peace on Earth in this time when God came to man so that he would know his Creator. – Lorica

  19. Baklava says:

    huh. “Yet to be seen” yet you’ve judged someone’s actions as arrogant and you’ve judged that “the ends do not justify the means” as if the means of freeing the Iraqi people from a dictator and helping them form a new government is something that needs justifying with “ends”.

    Completely illogical at best. There is no argument that you’ve stated ever on this site that was logical but I would hope that at least you can see Steve that there are differences of opinion about the solutions to a problem.

    You’ve completely ignored one solution to a problem that I brought up (arming/training/publicizing 1500 women in Orlando with firearms and rape declining 87% the next year). Your so-called distaste for violence is an obsession that doesn’t let you see that your solutions would lead to more violence and more bloodshed. I hope in the coming year you can see that. You label people instead of engaging about the solutions and policies and debating about cause and effect of said solutions and policies. I hope the coming year is “on the high ground” as you stated you’d be and you stop calling people names.

    Good luck with your transformation. And as Lorica said, “please stop being so harsh in your judgments.”
