I should be in bed, but there is one moment of the debate that really bothered me and I need to rant before I sleep. I was appalled when Kerry began listing the numbers of troops contributed by coalition members and complaining about the size of their contributions.

There is no other country on the planet that has the economic resources and the military might to do what the United States is capable of doing. To complain that the British force in Iraq is too small and complain that other allies have an even smaller commitment of troops is is appallingly insulting.

A man who would denigrate an ally willing to send troops to stand, fight and perhaps even die with us because their contribution cannot measure up to ours is disgusting.

This is a man who claims to be capable of leading an international coalition? He is not fit to lead a troop of Cub Scouts.
