Isn't that joint the point?

[xJones]

Did he miss it?

[FITZ]

Isn't Bush planning to get us out of Iraq soon? Anyhow George P. Bush was just down in Mexico telling them that we're pulling out soon from Iraq.

[Bob from De]

"slaughter of two and a half million people"

This can't be correct! Kerry said so!
Before the Fulbright Committee Kerry said no more than 2,000 to 3,000 would be killed. On the Dick Cavett Show in 1971, he upped the death toll to 4,000 or 5,000.
This is truly a man of VISION!

[The Wizard]

some one should tell kerry to stop digging

':" Talk about a flip flop.
So he was against the war, then for it...and now against it again?
That's why it isn't a flip flop. It's a flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flop.'

Judy Woodruff said the delegates were chanting "Tic Toc" when giving her expert opinion on the President's acceptance speech the other night. She dismissed it as if it wasn't relevant. I'm not kidding. David, don't forget me, I'm a liberal too, Gergen finally filled the liberal loving Woodruff in my mentioning that he believed they were saying flip flop. Is Judy Woodruff that out of touch as a long time beltway insider?

[Lady Jag]

INDEED

I am sure this is the 10th time Kerry has changed his Iraq strategy since the primaries.
This is why no attack from Kerry is effective. A)He has either voted for the opposite of what he is now saying or B)he has said something different just a week or two earlier.

[Cicero]

This is a misleading headline. Kerry says he'll pull out when it's safe to do so--which really says nothing at all. He also says that Bush did everything wrong but once again fails to say what he would have done instead.

Kerry waffles because he has to please the peaceniks and those who want strong national security at the same time. He is torn between two constituencies and can't afford to lose either of them.

The headline is directed at the peaceniks.

[Mockingbird For Short]

I heard Woodruff say that too! LOL. I couldn't believe she didn't "get" it. What in the world would have been the significance of the crowd chanting "Tick Tock Tick Tock"? Oh well...

[Use It Or Lose It]

Watching the MSNBC story on Kerry last night, it's quite noticeable that he was saying THEN what he is saying NOW.

John Kerry always believes HE knows better...has a better plan...would do things better. Take most of Kerry's testimony...or speeches regarding Vietnam...Replace "communism" with "terrorism" and "Vietnam" with "Iraq." Kerry IS trying to re-fight Vietnam, only this time it's in the deserts of Iraq. Someone should really check to see if he DID resign from the VVAW. From his most recent declaration, it sounds like he's still running it! But...wait....here was Kerry...before he was against the war:

KERRY: "And I think we’ve all reached a judgment that obviously the United States has to protect our national security interests. And we have to do what we think is right." (Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor," 5/22/02)

KERRY: "I would disagree with John McCain that it’s the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it’s what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." (CBS’ "Face The Nation," 9/15/02)

KERRY: "But the president, as I also wrote in that article, always reserves the right to act unilaterally protect [sic] the interests of our country." (MSNBC’s "Hardball," 9/17/02)

KERRY: "George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." (ABC News Democrat Presidential Candidates Debate, Columbia, SC, 5/3/03)

WHICH John Kerry is speaking? WHO is listening, and WHY would they believe him?

[OldFriend]

Dennis Miller had the best line..and let me paraphrase.

He said Kerry wants to pull the troops out of Iraq in six months and is complaining that Bush wanting to pull the troops out of Germany after 60 years is too soon.

Jane Fonda tells the student audience at the Michigan State University in 1969:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope,
you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communist."

I'm sure his handlers want JFK to stay away from a whole range of issues but the dumb sap can not help himself. The Rats are filled with aging hippie war protesters and JFK has to accede to their wishes since he is a man of the people. Excellent strategy. JFK might even do as good as the last antiwar Rat candidate-McGovern.

[A CA Guy]

Kerry has lost anything he had left.

He is talking about how all the 200 billion we spent on this war could have gone to social programs.

It's like somehow he things that stopping our spending and efforts will lead to the ending of this war.

He's in a dream world. This is beyond bad, Senator Spitball is inept!

If this is the new campaign, it's Bush by 25 points.

[mass55th]

To Kerry, all war is wrong. He's a pacifist, a communist and an appeaser. Oh, and he's a freakin' coward to boot.

[ironman]

"the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time"

He's using an old quote from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Omar Bradley about the Korea war

[mass55th]

"Well, at least he's finally taking a clear, coherent stand on the issue."

That's his stand this week. Don't blink your eyes.

[treeclimber]

Good observation...

Kerry seems to be saying that England, Poland, Italy, Australia, etc are not making a contribution.

He wanted international participation-whats he saying? Is this the wrong kind of international participation?
