Live Thread: Kerry on Imus (starts 7:29 EST 09/15/04)
Imus Radio Show ^ | 09/15/04 | Don Imus

Posted on 09/15/2004 4:23:20 AM PDT by xm177e2

Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will be the guest at 7:29 am eastern. Senator Kerry has a lot of convincing to do, beginning with the I-Man.. whose support has waned in recent weeks. Despite several polls to the contrary, both campaigns acknowledge a 5-6 point lead for President Bush. Many analysts say it's a result of a post convention bump, and the GOP's ability to make the focus of the election national security and Kerry's record. The challenge for the Senator is to now put the emphasis back on domestic issues while separating the War in Iraq from the War on Terrorism. Can he turn the tide while continuing to play defense? Can he turn all the anti-Bush sentiment into a spark that ignites the Democratic base? Does he think it will ultimately come down to the debates? Will he finally be able to clearly frame his views on Iraq? Is John Edwards the VP candidate he thought he would be? John Kerry has his work cut out.. but, he can take a big step forward on Wednesday morning when/IF he answers the tough questions from IMUS.

Clinton didn't have UN approval for his
adventures in Yugoslavia.

Also, Kerry should buy a better phone.

He has very respected advisers, those that are left anyway. Biden is advising him and he thinks Bush should have listened to Biden who is sooo not on his side. Albright a mistake says Imus.

They didn't get France Russia abd Germany on board when they had the chance...Kerry says it is so bad and probably get worse with Bush..just can't foresee how much he CAN do...

He can't give a plan himself...just give advice to get "more countries"..Kerry just wants Bush to state his plan for our military to suffer no losses.

Holbrooke, Albright, Clarke, generals...advise.

Imus is asking who you would put on your cabinet to get these countries on our side.

Kerry refuses to answer. Present advisers are Albright, Holbrooke, Biden, McPeak, Wes Clark, Clarke(?), Sam Nunn, Geo Mitchell. Kerry says Albright gives good advice, and would have done a better job in the mid-east than the Bush team would have. LOL

How can Ketchup face keep saying, "I can't tell you exactly what I'd do until I'm actually President" and keep getting away with it.

" Kerry says, yes, I think the FBI and CIA are doing better than they did, but not as well as we should be doing. " (won't give Bush any credit for no attacks since 9-ll)

Kerry quotes the Jersey girls. (they endorsed him yesterday)They said it was Osama who knocked down those buildings.s (like he didn't think of that until those women said it first?)

I felt in 98 that Clinton should have the power to attack Saddam, the only way to get the inspectors in was to be tough, but I warned bush as did many people, to tkae the time to build an alliance.....he ignored tht.....he cut off the inspection process and rushed to war. Bush did it in such arushed way he didn't consider the conseuences! It was wrong, it was wrong ( wrong Kerry's favorite word now)

Imus asks what is Kerry's plan to get out. Kerry sys the plan gets more complicated every day because I said months ago you got to lead.. The president didn't ...and now it's more complicated. I would immediately call a meeting of European nations....do more rapid training....other experts have observed we aren't training the Iraqis to establish the security. I have to look and see what I have on Jan 20, a new president with new credibility, who listens to the military , who doesn't fire leaders who disagree, like Sinshckecki, LONGEST SENTENCE IN THE HISTORY OF MAN.....and he still didn't tell Imus what he would do. All he did was say Bush is making it harder and harder to come up with a plan.

Kerry says ask Bush, Ask Bush...he is the president...don't ask me ask him what he plans to do..

Bush ignored the advice of the senate.

Imus pushed gently for Kerry to tell him his plan again, and Kerry said, "I can't tell you what I"m gonna find on the ground on Jan 20."

Kerry won't name people he might appoint..that would be in appropriate, but look at the people who are advising me, he says. Holbrook, Biden, Albright, Peak, Wes Clark, there are a group of 10 or 12, a very solid group of people...Sam Nunn, George Mitchell....

Denies he read UNFIT FOR COMMAND...the right has people who buy it in bulk...it's lies....I don't know if people on my staff have read it.
