The Carter Doctrine and Mrs. Teresa Heinz-Kerry

"John will never send a boy or girl in a uniform anywhere in the world because of our need and greed for oil," -

- Teresa Heinz Kerry told about 1,200 supporters at the McAllen Civic Center. (In Texas...the Kerry-Edwards campaign shipped her to Texas.)

Apparently, she - and her husband and the rest of the loony Left - have forgotten the CARTER DOCTRINE:

The Carter Doctrine was issued in the State of the Union Address on January 23 1980 by President Jimmy Carter. Responding to the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan that had recently taken place, the President stated:

"An attempt by an outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force."

Kerry was opposed to the 1991 Iraq War - when Saddam INVADED KUWAIT and threatened to takeover the Persian Gulf oil supply.

As a result of that invasion - and in order to protect the Persian Gulf from any other threatening invasion - the USA kept 10,000 troops and maintained a state-of-the-art airbase in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Ridding the Kingdom of this airbase and these troops were a MAJOR and oft stated goal of the Jihadoterrorists.

NOW... with Saddam GONE... we HAVE removed the airbase and the troops. And as a result - a direct result of the Iraq War - a major recruiting point for the Jihadoterrorists is GONE.

And the Persian Gulf oil is no longer threatened by Saddam.

But it is threatened by the Mullahs of Iran and the Jihadoterrorists.

If billionaire Mrs. Teresa Heinz-Kerry is correct about her husband, and if John Kerry would not act militarily to protect this ESSENTIAL energy supply - as Carter swore he would do, as GHW Bush DID do, and as GW Bush has done - THEN KERRY IS UNFIT FOR OFFICE.
