John Kerry's "secret plan"
Kerry was being interviewed on ABC's This Week and he said that
he had a plan to deal with Iraq but that he would not say what it was.
Turns out, it involves the French and the United Nations...
Denis Boyles has more in this article:
Top Secret; What a “sensitive war” looks like.:
bq. Remember John Kerry's "secret plan" for dealing with Iraq? He announced it on ABC's This Week. Everybody wanted to know what it was. It turns out it was just like the "secret plans" I had back in high school when I'd take girls to the drive-in: Once the wraps came off, everybody felt pretty stupid.
bq. Kerry's secret plan, it finally emerged, was to convince France and the U.N. to help us get out of Iraq. To you and me, asking France to help you win a war is like asking your mother-in-law to help settle a family quarrel. But according to Kerry, asking France to help win a war makes the war "sensitive" because, as everyone knows, France is more sensitive than the United States, just as liberals are more sensitive than conservatives. In fact, to be liberal is to be French, even if only in spirit.
bq. For a good example of how a sensitive, Frenchified foreign policy works, let's look at the warring, unhappy natives in faraway Darfur, a dusty stretch of the Sudanese way-outback. According to the U.S. Congress, there's a genocide going on in Darfur, and if we apply John Kerry's secret plan, it's all being handled just right.
Dennis goes into what is happening in Darfur ("ethnic cleansing" which is French for mass slaughter of innocent Christian men, women and children by Islamists) and proposes that this is because the nation of Sudan is fairly oil-rich and that the French want it -- Oil for Corpses and all that good imperialist stuff...
Read the article - he provides links to the original reports and his comments are pretty much spot on.
