The popularity rant hit a chord with me.

He didn't join the international criminal court, because he didn't want our troops in front of it?

WTF? If our troops do something to get in front of it, THEY DESERVE IT. Like the Okinawa rapists.

It was quite clever in terms of rhetoric. It was incredibly stupid in terms of logic (notice how he never actually justified any of his claims that these actions were the right ones, and in fact, he seemed to imply that their unpopularity in the rest of the world proved that they were the right decisions to take), but Kerry did not tackle that obvious fallacy head-on in his rebuttal. He chose instead to go after Bush's poor decision-making in Iraq.

And now he's saying it should be a group effort to crack down on Nuclear Prolifferation.

Uh-oh, North Korea. I wouldn't go there. While it's good to use against Bush, someone is bound to ask what Kerry would do and that'd mean talks with the UN and NATO, not action like some want. I fear Kerry is coming off as a man who won't take action.

He should have focused on Iran. Nobody cares about Russian proliferation.

Iran and the DPRK are the hot potatoes here. They're not as easy to discuss as Iraq as there are far more volatile factors with these scenarios.

Oh, wow, that was a huge slip there, Mr. Bushy. Ten bucks on Bush's pluralizing of 'Internet' popping up everywhere tommorrow.

I recall Bush got a 1206 on the SAT. He must have gotten an 800 on the math section, because he couldn't have cracked 500 on the verbal.
