So a leader who is risking his life every damn day, comes to the US to thank the american people. Half of the leftists democrats don't have the courtesy to sit and listen to his speech and our nuanced frenchman practices diplomacy by:
First calling him a liar. Notice the shitty attitude of the press as well. I didn't catch if it was dan rather or not.

QUESTION: Prime Minister Allawi told Congress today that democracy was taking hold in Iraq and that the terrorists there were on the defensive. Is he living in the same fantasy land as the president? KERRY: I think the prime minister is, obviously, contradicting his own statement of a few days ago, where he said the terrorists are pouring into the country. The prime minister and the president are here, obviously, to put their best face on the policy.[q/]
You would think someone who has been such a successful gigolo would have a little class but no.

Allawi's Speech
Wow. Strong speech. Advantage Allawi (and Bush).
Kerry looks, er, very small today. I mean, was this statement for real? In its discombobulation, utter lack of grace (all but calling Allawi a liar--a man almost axed to death by Saddam's henchmen in the U.K. and under constant threat of assassination today), near absurdities ("Let me tell you, if the 4th Infantry Division and the diplomacy had been done (ed. note: whatever "done" means) with Turkey, you wouldn't have had a Fallujah"), pleading tone ("And ask the military leaders. Go ask the military leaders")--it reads more like a bona fide Deanian (or Goreian?) meltdown than a serious policy statement/press conference.
