The John Kerry Factor

I remember back in 2004 during that Presidential race a dialog between Bush and Kerry about "bunker-buster" nukes. I recall that I could not comprehend the thinking that made Kerry want to ban them. It was simple for me: if a nation (say North Korea) unleashed nuclear weapons on one of it's neighbors we would have to respond (although, I'm becoming more convinced that the Democrats would disagree; that in response to an unjustified attack on one of our allies and massive death and suffering their response would be "do nothing"). And I personally don't want to just wipe out North Korean civilians (slaves) but would want to target the military and government leadership for atomization. And since after their attack they'd quite naturally go hide their cowardly asses in bunkers the best medicine would be bunker-busters.

But here again you have the perverted, tortured logic of the Democrats on display.



Yes, that's right. Obama wants to gut the military (which has one of the smallest budgets at 4% in my father's lifetime). He wants to leave the Iraqis to the murderous ultraviolence of the religious zealots. He wants America and the military to be disgraced once again by abandoning our committments. He wants to ban nukes (of course nations like Iran, North Korea, and Syria will sign up only to break their promise not to develop them. But of course, how would Obama enforce this ban now that he's turned the military into nothing more than a disarmed security guard?)

It's the John Kerry factor once again where reality, logic and facts have no effect on the Dems thinking.
