The news related to these two is just pathetic. Let's start with Koffi Annan:
Kofi Annan said today that the creation of a stabilization force for violence-torn Lebanon would give the Government "time to organize and prepare" to extend its authority over the entire country. Such a force would be much larger than the current 2,000-strong United Nations peacekeeping force already in the south.
"The situation is very urgent, and it is imperative that the international community acts to end the fighting," said Mr. Annan.
"Obviously it's a Council decision," Mr. Annan told reporters in Brussels, where he is attending a conference for the African Union peacekeeping mission in Sudan.
He was replying to questions about the proposal first made with the British Prime Minister for an action-oriented package of measures to end the violence in Lebanon that included "a multi-national force of well-equipped troops that can go in quite quickly."
Yes, that is just what is needed, to throw a large UN force into a theater of war to muddle around, get in the way and get killed, all while doing nothing to stop Hezbollah terrorists and ensuring that Hezbollah has another bunch of people to hide behind. I'd be less cynical if the UNIFIL forces that have been on the scene hadn't been known to have done absolutely nothing when Hezbollah was attacking and kidnapping Israeli's. This suggestion is so pathetic that it is truly laughable.
Then there is dear ole John Kerry.
Stop the ACLU has more commentary on Kerry.
Then there is dear ole John Kerry.
"If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John's bar and grill in Detroit's Cass Corridor.So Kerry provided the following action plan on what he would have done.Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East," Kerry said. "We're going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it."
Yes that is a big blank, I don't see any suggestion on how he would have targeted Hezbollah. I'm wondering if he's suggesting that he would have invaded Lebanon to target them. But then, I wonder how he gets around the very real possibility that Al-Qaeda would have moved into Iraq if he had had his way and we had not invaded Iraq, or as by his proposal, we had run out as quickly as possible. I'm sure he discounts Iraq ever having had the chance of becoming a haven for terrorists.Hezbollah guerillas should have been targeted with other terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaida and the Taliban, which operate in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kerry said. However, Bush, has focused military strength on Iraq.
"This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq. We have to destroy Hezbollah," he said.
