Kerry's Sister Warns Australians that Their Alliance with the US Endangers Them

Well folks, Kerry just sent his sister to Australia to try and influence their presidential election.

John Kerry's campaign has warned Australians that the Howard Government's support for the US in Iraq has made them a bigger target for international terrorists.

Diana Kerry, younger sister of the Democrat presidential candidate, told The Weekend Australian that the Bali bombing and the recent attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta clearly showed the danger to Australians had increased."Australia has kept faith with the US and we are endangering the Australians now by this wanton disregard for international law and multilateral channels," she said, referring to the invasion of Iraq.

Asked if she believed the terrorist threat to Australians was now greater because of the support for Republican George W. Bush, Ms Kerry said: "The most recent attack was on the Australian embassy in Jakarta -- I would have to say that."

Forget the sheer absurdity of the charge - the Bali bombing was in October 2002, well before the Iraq war - Kerry is trying to influence the Australian election in order to weaken an alliance during a time of war. And for what? So he can get in the White House. This is merely further proof that Kerry cares more about being the President that he does about the United States.

This is a very telling maneuver by the Kerry camp. And this is the exact reason why not only Kerry, but everyone associated with his campaign and indeed his entire party need to be punished in November. Think about what this means - he is affirmatively trying to weaken a war alliance in order to seize power. Can you imagine if it were reversed? If Howard's opponent tried to influence our election!

The Dems are going to lose because they don't understand the Global War on Terror. They don't understand America's role in the 21st century. They don't understand that politics stop at our borders - especially during a time of war and especially regarding a key war ally.

But I guess this doesn't surprise me. Kerry himself negotiated with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong leaders in Paris - before he was even discharged from the Navy - during his stint in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He met the communist Sandanistas with Tom Harkin in 1985, in direct contradiction to our national policy of supporting the Contras. Here is a picture of him (and Tom Harkin) shaking hands with Daniel Ortega. Shortly after this was taken, Ortega flew to Moscow to arrange for some funding from the then Soviet Union.

Dr. Evil would say to Kerry, "You just don't get it John. You don't."
