As one of the comments says at Don Surber’s site, is Kerry really that stupid, or does he think that WE’RE really that stupid?

Yes.

Your point is also very well taken. For the leftists, there are no outrages that cannot be excused – as long as they are committed by America’s enemies. That’s why Kerry could never admit that ‘re-education camps’ are concentration camps – it would mean putting the communists in the same league as the Nazis.

Perhaps I should loan him my copy of this book.

Nah – Kerry will probably think that it is a neocon plot and refuse to open it.

Some one needs to ask Kerry if he believes Auswitch was also a re-education camp. Re-writing history seems to be the norm for many of these baffoons who think they can say anything and it is accepted as gospel.

It was also interesting that the question was posed by a democrat (on the democrat line) and the lady was expressing sincere concern for the fate of the Iraqi people.

The left fails to realize that the damage done to our credibility is going to be huge, just as it was in the wake of Vietnam. Our friends and allies will say “sure, you SAY you will help us…but your past shows us otherwise.”

Or maybe they don’t fail to realize it…maybe they just don’t care.

‘Dear Excellency and Friend:

‘I thank you very sincerely for your letter and for your offer to transport me towards freedom. I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion. As for you, and in particular for your great country, I never believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people which has chosen liberty. You have refused us your protection, and we can do nothing about it.

‘You leave, and my wish is that you and your country will find happiness under this sky. But, mark it well, that if I shall die here on the spot and in my country that I love, it is no matter, because we are all born and must die. I have only committed this mistake of believing in you [the Americans].

‘Please accept, Excellency and dear friend, my faithful and friendly sentiments.’

Sirik Matak would be executed by the Khmer Rouge two weeks later, along with the remaining members of the Lon Nol government.

The last words of Sirik Matak should be on the minds of every Iraqi right now, because Kerry and the rest of the leftists have learned nothing from them. They intend to repeat this disgrace if they get the power. Lorica’s right – God help us if they ever regain the White House – but more than that, God help those people who proudly held up purple fingers some months ago.

Exactly, Brian. The lives of thousands or even millions of Iraqis mean nothing to your average leftist. Nor does keeping your word to people who trust you and depend on you.

When the jihadists read Kerry’s comments, I’ll bet they’ll be just salivating over the number of heads they can chop off if he gets his way. Of course, if and when that happens, it won’t bother Kerry. I’m convinced that to be a leftist, you need your conscience surgically removed.
