SDG here with a startling clarification from John Kerry about his “global test” debate reference. As quoted in this CNN.com story, Kerry would seem to have a HIGHER authority in mind:
Asked during a town hall meeting in Hampton to explain what he meant, the Massachusetts senator said, “It’s almost sad; it’s certainly pathetic, because all they can do is grab a little phrase and try to play a game and scare Americans…
“And if they were honest enough to give America the full quote, which America heard, they would know that I’m never going to allow America’s security to be outsourced. That’s the job of the president.
“But I can do a better job of protecting America’s security because the test that I was talking about was a test of legitimacy, not just in the globe, but elsewhere.
“If you do things that are illegitimate in the eyes of the other people, it’s very hard to get them to share the burden and risk with you.”
WOW!
John Kerry’s got a way to test the legitimacy of military action against EXTRA-GLOBAL standards?!
Do you suppose he intends to appeal all the way to the United Federation of Planets?!
If so, how much difference does he really think this will make? I hate to say it, but the Klingons have been quietly downsizing their military for decades now.
The Vulcans were in on the kickbacks for the oil-for-food program, and they automatically oppose whatever the Terrans do. They don’t care who is President of one measly super-power.
Heck, the Andorians were actively arming Saddam in the months before the war. And the Kardassians, who actually have the military capacity to make a difference, aren’t even Federation members.
So that doesn’t make sense. Hm, could Kerry possibly have an even HIGHER Court in mind…??!!!
. . . by the crew of Stargate Command, that is.
