"Logic" Watch

From the National Review's Corner (where else?):

John Kerry's take on Haiti from the Democrats' debate in NYC this morning: "This president always makes decisions late after things have happened that could have been different had the president made a different decision earlier," Kerry said. "I never would have allowed it to get out of control the way it did."

So if we're talking about a nation that supports international terror and the Islamo-Fascists who've killed thousands of Americans, President Bush is wrong (according to Kerry) for acting pre-emptively. But if it's a question of imposing a government on a nation that poses no threat to the US, then President Bush should have laid a little imperialism on Haiti a long time ago.

The Democrats' hypocrisy on Haiti vs. Iraq should be self-evident. Unfortunately, this story is being covered by CNN, who carefully avoid noticing hypocrisy on the Left whenever possible.

You might even say that Kerry's Hypocrisy! borders on Slander! or even Treason! Anyone who isn't an out and out pacifist-isolationist and refuses to stand forsquare with the President's Iraq policy is without a doubt nothing but a rank and cynical hypocrite driven only by political calculations. Speaking of which, it is absurd that Kerry was so gung-ho about pre-emptively treating his cancer before it spread and yet is so critical of the Administration's handling of Iraq. Why hasn't the liberal media picked up on this story? Perhaps its related to their multi-decade ketchup dishonesty.
