Kerry, the Neocon

Justin Raimondo nails it in his newest piece on "Kerry, the Hawk":

The idea that John Kerry is some kind of peacenik, who will get us out of Iraq and drive the neocons out of the Temple of Democracy, is a myth that will die a hard death, but die it must. I realize that a lot of my readers have invested their hopes and dreams in the man, but, if you want some expert advice, don't take it from me, take it from one who knows: Bill Safire....

If warmongering hysteria works, then the Democrats are more than eager to try it: anything to capture the White House. And you'd better believe that behind this display of Saudi-bashing is the implicit threat of war. Another aspect of these ads is typically American whining about "high oil prices," which are supposedly the fault of the Saudis. What else can this complaint mean, coming from the world's biggest bully and newest Middle Eastern colonial power, except the implied threat of force?
