What Kerry is doing is starting to make sense to me. Not the message. His plan.

Kerry has a plan to “win” the WOT that would, he probably truly believes, not leave smoking holes where American cities used to be. He will not come out and define his plan in detail because it would not be acceptable to the majority of Americans. He must therefore use his “superior” intellect to nuance his plan so that security minded Americans will not run away from him.

Kerry is not concerned about alienating Great Britian, Australia and our other hard, gun-toting allies because those hard allies will be replaced with soft Allies like France and socialist Spain who will help Kerry bridge the cultural gap to the Arab/Muslim world. Kerry’s Temple University speech provided some clues. He spoke of ending American isolationism and creating a sharing environment.

Kerry would use the US military to hunt down bin Laden because he’d be tarred and feathered if he didn’t. He says that he will hunt down al Qaeda too but other than a few other high profile cohorts I suspect that the ranks of al Qaeda will escape retribution by simply melting into organizations not named al Qaeda. I would have to assume that kissing ass in Syria and Iran would be key elements of Kerry’s plan because Kerry has made it clear that Allawi is horse dung and Iraq a worthless diversion. Under the Kerry Plan Syria and Iran will determine the future of Iraq, not the USA and Allawi. The flip side of seeking an Iranian alliance is to trash Saudi Arabia. There can only be one hegemon in the Gulf and Kerry is siding with the mullahs.

In payment to Kerry the mullahs and Assad will reign in Hizb’allah and other Arab militants not under Saudi control complete with public assertions from Muslim clerics that the use of terrorism must be examined or something else that sounded enough like a cease fire to appease Americans. Iran will have to give up something visible on its nuclear program. Israeli newspapers suggest that Kerry is Israel-friendly so I don’t know how long he could play both sides of that relationship.

Only by giving up American wealth, liberty and soverignty, and ending American arrogance can we rejoin the international community and “win” the WOT. So sayeth Prince Kerry.
