John Kerry Slams Bush on Handling of Mideast Conflict: “The President Has Been So Absent on Diplomacy”
July 23rd, 2006 @ 8:22 pm

John Kerry was in Detroit today stumping for Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s re-election campaign. While on the campaign trail with Granholm, Kerry took some time to take a jab or two at the Bush administration for its “lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.”

“If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened,” said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John’s bar and grill in Detroit’s Cass Corridor.

Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.

“The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East,” Kerry said. “We’re going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it.”
