But if you actually READ the words that Kerry speaks, nobody can understand then.

For instance, on Haiti:

"I think you've got to be real and threatening," he said. His message to the rebels, he said, would be: "You're not going to take over, you're not kicking him out, this democracy is going to be sustained, we're willing to put in a new government, new prime minister, we're willing to work with you, but you're not going to succeed in your goal of exiling" Mr. Aristide. "And unless that's clear, you can't necessarily stop it in its tracks."

Though Mr. Kerry acknowledged that he did not fully know the diplomatic strategy of the Bush administration to deal with Haiti's crisis, he speculated that a purposefully timid approach on the part of the Bush administration — "because they hate Aristide" — could be allowing the rebels to move forward with their uprising.

Huh? Hate him? What must he be thinking!

As I'm sure you know, Kerry was a total hawk about invading Haiti and installing Aristide back in 1994:

He didn't want to wait for sanctions to work. He didn't want to wait for a multi-lateral force headed by the UN.

He wanted Haiti invaded and "Father Aristide" (as he called the defrocked priest) installed immediately! Of course Aristide was a Communist. Maybe that had something to do with it.
