JOHN KERRY SHOWED HIS TRUE colors last night, pledging to shut down a post-9/11 program to develop tactical nuclear weapons and acknowledging he shares the far Left's belief that America's possession of nukes is the moral equivalence of terrorism. Though his startling revelation has been ignored by the mainstream pundits (who may regard it as an especially threatening 800-pound gorilla in the electoral living room), Kerry’s own words forever link his proposed foreign policy to the radical ideology of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Soviet-tool British pacifist organization that gave the American counterculture its ubiquitous “peace symbol”: the inverted Norse rune of protection that resembles an upside-down Y (the rune enclosed in a cosmic circle), the resultant emblem aptly belittled by Cold-War-era hawks as “the footprint of the American chicken.” It was a species presumably extinct since the implosive collapse of Russian Communism, but now it may be that Kerry has resurrected it (and all its associated acrimony) much as he has refueled the lingering controversies over the Vietnam War – that is, with comments clearly designed to mobilize the pacifists, unilateral-disarmament advocates and hate-America zealots among the Democratic faithful -- never mind what the expression of such values might say to the average voter (no doubt the commanding reason these particular remarks are being ignored – or, more accurately, swept under the proverbial rug). Indeed it was Kerry’s bravest moment of cowardly truth; it occurred when Debate Moderator Jim Lehrer (PBS, “The News Hour”) asked Kerry a simple, pointed version of the campaign’s most decisive question: “If you are elected president, what will you take to that office thinking is the single most serious threat to the national security of the United States?” Here word-for-word is Kerry’s response, with the damning portions set in boldface type:
Nuclear proliferation. Nuclear proliferation. There's some 600-plus tons of unsecured material still in the former Soviet Union and Russia. At the rate that the president is currently securing it, it'll take 13 years to get it.
I did a lot of work on this. I wrote a book about it several years ago -- six, seven years ago -- called The New War, which saw the difficulties of this international criminal network. And back then, we intercepted a suitcase in a Middle Eastern country with nuclear materials in it. And the black market sale price was about $250 million.
Now, there are terrorists trying to get their hands on that stuff today.
And this president, I regret to say, has secured less nuclear material in the last two years since 9/11 than we did in the two years preceding 9/11.
We have to do this job. And to do the job, you can't cut the money for it. The president actually cut the money for it. You have to put the money into it and the funding and the leadership.
And part of that leadership is sending the right message to places like North Korea.
Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. It doesn't make sense.
You talk about mixed messages. We're telling other people, "You can't have nuclear weapons," but we're pursuing a new nuclear weapon that we might even contemplate using.
Not this president. I'm going to shut that program down, and we're going to make it clear to the world we're serious about containing nuclear proliferation.
And we're going to get the job of containing all of that nuclear material in Russia done in four years. And we're going to build the strongest international network to prevent nuclear proliferation.
This is the scale of what President Kennedy set out to do with the nuclear test ban treaty. It's our generation's equivalent. And I intend to get it done.
(Thanks to The Washington Post for the complete text of the debate, available – though registration is required – here.)
Kerry’s criticism of the administration’s anti-proliferation efforts may or may not be valid – I will leave that dispute to others. But, elsewhere in the debate, Kerry suggested he strongly supports a “global warming” treaty (presumably Kyoto, a pact already rejected by the Senate precisely because it would cripple our nation’s competitiveness and productivity), which further underscores the extent to which the Kerry-Edwards campaign has been captured by the enemies of “patriarchy” and has thus become merely another expression of the down-with-American-liberty, death-to-Western-Civilization ethos. Any day now the triumphant coterie of matrifascists, ethno-racial victim-identity cultists and Deaniacs turned Kerrynoids will announce their victory by shouting out the newest variant of their all-time favorite chant:
Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh
Osama bin Laden’s gonna win.
I jest, but there is nothing the least bit funny about Kerry’s stated intent to unilaterally disarm America in the face of the Islamic and North Korean threats. It is beyond outrageous, tantamount to arguing that the abandonment of one’s firearms is the proper response to impending assault by murderous criminals: the suicidal ideology of the anti-Second Amendment hysterics writ on a global scale. I cannot but wonder if Kerry truly is – as I have often facetiously suggested – the reincarnation of Neville Chamberlain. Never mind it is only a partial disarmament Kerry proposes. Never mind the infuriating censorship reflected in the fact Kerry’s disarmament proposal is not the lead paragraph on every debate story in every morning paper in the land; never mind that – almost certainly in service to its “fight Bush by whatever means necessary” ethos – print and broadcast media alike are maliciously suppressing this most-important disclosure. The bottom line is that Kerry by his pledge to disarm has proven himself unfit for the presidency, now and forever.
