For those of you that do not know, for the past hour I have been ridiculed for a diary I did that was based on sources of the highest level of trust. That is fine. I would like to say that I did not intend to personally attack the Jewish peoples of the world, but that is not the subject of this diary. If I intimated that Jewish Americans were responsible or complicit in 9-11, that was not my intent and I apologize.
It does bring up a good point, though. John Kerry needs to repeatedly refuse comment on this story, for the perils of not doing so could alienate the Jewish base in Florida and hurt with swing voters nationwide. Why? Because as certain posters were only so willing to prove, any criticism of U.S.-Israeli policy can be spun as anti-semitism. Republicans would only be too happy to do this. I tried to make a reasoned well thought out and sourced case against Likud, and I was villified. If this is how Democrats respond, can you imagine how swing voters would react if even a whiff of anti-semitic suspicion surrounded Kerry? No, John best leave this one alone, and refer all questions to the investigators. I strongly suggest he say something like, "I do not think it appropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation, and I hope the President does not let this affect U.S.-Israeli relations negatively."
That said, there is a very good chance that in the next few weeks Bush will be personally tied to this scandal, and it will likely be unspinnable. Apparently Patrick Fitzgerald and the Israeli spy thing are tied together, and there are going to be indictments. That is one of the reasons I have been saying Kerry is going to take the lead and keep it, even through the RNC. That, and swift boat backlash. It appears proof, definitive proof, is about to be exposed that this administration used this spy to forge documents, yes those documents, and essentially rigged this war. If this is proven to be true, this not only almost certainly means a Kerry Presidency, it may also mean Democrats regain control of congress. Keep your fingers crossed, pull up a seat, and wait for the show to start. I have a feeling, if you are a Democrat, you will give this one "Thumbs Up."
