When you live in a world of make believe nothing ever goes wrong

John Kerry is king of the pretenders. I can see why so many members of the "reality based community" voted for him. Yesterday Kerry played make believe so he could bash President Bush & the MSM ate it up.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.

"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.

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."

Uh huh. If I were king there'd be a chicken in every pot & two cars in every garage. Every night we'd gather around the camp fire eating s'mores, holding hands & singing 'Kum ba yah'.

Let me guess. Kerry would have first made sure his diplomacy passed the "global test". Of course that would mean it would pass muster with the real "culture of corruption", the UN - the same UN that has utterly failed to keep the peace between Israel, Hamas & Hezbollah. No doubt Kerry & his "global test" taskmasters at the UN would be sure to protect Isreal from the terrorists like they always have.

Or not. Jonah Goldberg notes;

Of course, a U.N. "interim force" has been "monitoring" the border since 1978. (The Hezbollah and U.N. flags fly side by side there). In 2000, blue helmets videotaped Hezbollah kidnapping three Israeli soldiers (one of them an Israeli Arab). The video could have been useful in rescuing the soldiers. But, for eight months, the U.N. troops angrily denied even having the tape. When forced to admit they did, they refused to release it because that might compromise their "neutrality."

That neutrality was compromised long ago. As Muravchik notes, the U.N. is chockablock with agencies and bureaucrats dedicated to undermining Israel. Even known terrorists, including members of Hamas, are on the payroll. And in 2002, the UNCHR endorsed the "legitimacy" of Palestinian terrorism against Israel. Indeed, it says something that democratic Israel is - by leaps and bounds - the most condemned nation in the history of the U.N. Not China, the Soviet Union or North Korea. Israel.

In Kerry's fantasy world perfection can always be achieved. That the MSM would unquestioningly lap up this pathetically transparent attempt to bash the Bush Admin is as shocking as it is typical.
