Well? What countries do YOU think Kerry is talking about?

Okay, when Kerry is talking about "allies" in our war in Iraq, you tell ME what countries he's talking about. Don't you wonder why he never names names, but just keeps punching away on the word "allies?"

If Kerry became President, and marched off in glory to Europe, who the hell do YOU think he would try to bring back?

Already on board are nations like:

UK
Italy
Australia
Japan
South Korea
Turkey
Netherlands
Phillipines
Poland

These nations and the rest, comprising almost half the world's GDP, are not exactly chopped liver, despite "Mr. Alliances" spitting on them every chance he gets. Even now his campaign is trying to get Australia to drop out, an odd attitude for someone who thinks we need allies. Do you think I'm as stupid as Kerry apparently thinks we all are?

Of the 26 members of NATO, 17 are coalition members. It was 18 before Spain bailed out.

What NATO countries are left right now?

Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovenia, and Spain. Of these, France and Germany have already unequivocally stated they won't come in no matter who's president. I wouldn't bet on Spain right now either.

Maybe we're talking about Canada. Yeah, Kerry is all about getting Canada on board.

Use some logic. Kerry's "allies" fog machine succeeds only so long as nobody actually thinks about it.
