Thanks for the ping bitt, I missed seeing it. Kerry can't complete a full sentence without interrupting himself, veering off on tangents, etc, etc.
Can't stand to listen to him!
John Kerry vs. the War on Terror: Candidate Kerry's Subversive Campaign
Extending his appeasement plan to another front of the War on Terror, Kerry has criticized President Bush for bringing North Korea's neighbors into disarmament negotiations, and has advocated a return to the Clinton administration's policy of bilateral talks between the US and North Korea: “I want bilateral talks which put all of the issues, from the armistice of 1952, the economic issues, the human rights issues, the artillery disposal issues, the DMZ issues and the nuclear issues on the table." To this President Bush responded, “The minute we have bilateral talks, the six-party talks will unwind. That's exactly what Kim Jong Il wants."37 President Bush may have added that this was also exactly what China wanted until the US--backed by an impressive show of force in Iraq and by the prospect of a rearmed Japan--convinced China that supporting multilateral talks with North Korea was in its best interests.38 Kerry's plan would be to retreat from this position of strength into the Clintonian appeasement policy that enabled the growth of North Korean belligerence in the first place. Kerry's position on this issue also retreats from his self-professed opposition to the US “going it alone", raising the question of whether his public rhetoric about his plan conceals a more covert plan with a hidden agenda--or perhaps a not-so-hidden agenda, since in every case Kerry's policies seem to align with the policies of America's enemies.
