Complete buffoon. How could anyone justify a vote for this spineless jellyfish.
John Kerry apparently did a 15-minute phone interview with the New York Times. Here is a highlight:
Mr. Kerry's basic argument, that the Iraq war has diverted attention from more dangerous nations like North Korea, is one he has often used on the campaign trail and in interviews over the past several months. But his language on Sunday, calling the situation "a nuclear nightmare" and directly accusing Mr. Bush of leaving the United States more vulnerable to North Korea, was far harsher and more incendiary than the language he has used before. It is also highly unusual for Mr. Kerry to seek out a reporter on a Sunday, when he had no public appearances scheduled, to attack Mr. Bush. This comes as Mr. Kerry and his aides, during this final 50 days of the campaign, have promised to draw more consistent and sharper contrasts to Mr. Bush in response to criticism from supporters that their message has been too weak...
When Mr. Kerry was pressed about how he would handle the threat of a North Korean nuclear test if he was in the Oval Office, he declined to be prescriptive, other than to say that the issue would probably have to be taken to the United Nations Security Council. "Hypothetical questions are not real," he said, arguing that North Korea was a case for preventive diplomacy, and that Mr. Bush's "ideologically driven" approach had kept him from truly engaging North Korea. "The Chinese are frustrated, the South Koreans, the Japanese are frustrated," he said.
All of the possibilities of what the president could face when he takes the oath of office on January 20, 2005, are hypothetical. If Kerry continues to insist, "hypothetical questions aren't real," he is basically saying he can't give American voters any idea of what he would do as President until he's sworn in.
Yeah, and we all know how well that worked out with Iraq...
Taking the N Korea issue to the Security Council could very well end up with France demanding that the US dismantle its nuclear weapons and submit to inspections by North Korean government agents.
He's not Bush.
Yup! That pretty much sums up Kerry's campagin platform. V
Vote Kerry and find out what he'll do for you as president after he is elected!
That gives me warm fuzzies and makes me feel safe.NOT!
Bush by landslide in Nov.
Considering what he did with his 20 years in the Senate, the safe answer is very little, except support extreme liberal legislation.
I would love someone to ask him what he would do if he discovered he had a spine and have him go off on his 'that's a hypothetical question' riff.
He just thinks the idea of him as President is hypothetical. At this point, even Kerry knows he's gonna lose. I think that on Nov. 2, Bush will open the can-o-whoop-a$$ of a lifetime on John Fonda Kerry. Kerry won't break 40%, methinks.
Won't work. The UN will only go where it's safe to party and get high.
Hypothetical questions are not real," he saidWell, duh, Senator. They're hypothetical. How can you be nuanced and not consider every possible scenario? The problem is not that the Senator is nuanced or complex, it is that he is not nuanced or complex enough: to be decisive requires analysis and forethought--the good Senator is only capable of detailed hindsight.
Has my cheese slid off my cracker or did North Korea not already kick the UN and Alberidi (sp) out?
Why would we expect a different result by doing the same thing again?
Welcome to FR...good post.
Hypothetically, Kerry served in the Senate and REPRESENTED the people of Ma. for 20 yrs.
Hypothetically.
John Kerry is not sophisticated enough to understand that the problem of terrorism is not a sophisticated issue.
Did he stomp his foot, too? He's like a spoiled, petulant crying 2 yr old - doesn't get his way, so he stomps and pouts and cries. How very presidential.
Welcome to FR Noob!
Minor point, since you're new: When posting an article in a new thread, the actual article goes on *top*, your comments go on the *bottom*. You've got it the other way around.
This isn't just mockery of Kerry. He is an unrepentant 60's left winger at heart. There was a great quote he gave to Russert in early Spring.
Kerry said the (alleged) U.S. atrocities in Vietnam were the unavoidable consequence of mistaken Cold War thinking. He went on to say that the same "mistakes" are now being made in the war on terror, and that the U.S. must "apologize" to many nations for this. He specifically named China as a country we must apologize to. Kerry would be an unmitigated foreign policy disaster.
Poor Johnnie, are the big, bad awful press being mean to you again?
