Kerry Telling Two Stories on Pre-emptive War?

In the first debate between Presdident Bush and Senator Kerry, Kerry said he would not give up the right of a president to launch pre-emptive war and qualified that by talking about a "global test." But apparently he has been telling some people a different story if the endorsement anouncement of Kerry from the Muslim-American Political Action Committee can be believed. Here is the quote and the link. "As for Senator Kerry, while he has voted for the USA PATRIOT Act and to give the President the power to attack Iraq, he has clearly stated his views about revising the Act and opposition to pre-emptive war." http://www.mapac-us.org/elections.asp

As before, all OUR ENEMIES LIKE KERRY!!! EVEN KERRY LIKES ALL OUR ENEMIES. Guess we had better start learning to speak Arabic if he gets elected...and Chinese too!

Cheney's line said it all.
Paraphrasing:
Kerry says there are "two Americas."
It's really that there are TWO John Kerrys.
That is the source of the confusionl.

[Mojave Mark]

There are two America's. The America that John/John lives in and the America the rest of us live in.

[Pearls Before Swine]

There are two America's. The America that John/John lives in and the America the rest of us live in.

Or, "There are two Americas--the America we live in, and the America JFn'K would have us live in if he were elected."

Cheney's actual line at the RNC

**On Iraq, Senator Kerry has disagreed with many of his fellow Democrats. But Senator Kerry's liveliest disagreement is with himself. (Laughter**

"Senator Kerry says he sees two Americas. He makes the whole thing mutual -- America -- (applause) -- America sees two John Kerrys. (Laughter and applause.) "

Actually I also like the one about Al Qaeda and sensitive war which actually was a Lynne Cheney comment originally.

"Even in this post-9/11 period, Senator Kerry doesn't appear to understand how the world has changed. He talks about leading a "more sensitive war on terror" -- (Laughter.) -- as though al Qaeda will be impressed with our softer side. (Laughter and applause.)"
