More Kerry Equivocations From Debate
Opinion Journal ^ | 01Oct04 | JAMES TARANTO

Posted on 10/02/2004 1:27:25 AM PDT by huac

"John Kerry made some strong and sensible statements during the debate last night, but did you notice what the next word usually was? Here are some Kerry quotes:

"I'll never give a veto to any country over our security. But . . ."

"I believe in being strong and resolute and determined. And I will hunt down and kill the terrorists, wherever they are. But . . ."

"We have to be steadfast and resolved, and I am. And I will succeed for those troops, now that we're there. We have to succeed. We can't leave a failed Iraq. But . . ."

"I believe that we have to win this. The president and I have always agreed on that. And from the beginning, I did vote to give the authority, because I thought Saddam Hussein was a threat, and I did accept that intelligence. But . . ." "

As we used to say in the Army, sKerry is a limp *ick.

Always has been, always will be.

Like GWB said, if given 90 minutes, Kerry could debate himself.

By your name, I assume you are military. You should check out this post about the ICC. Bush mentioned it but it didn't get much attention. It should, because it is the most important issue to military men. Guaranteed to secure every military vote from Afghanistan and Iraq.

No nightmare would be worse than sKerry winning in Nov. He won't. But, should the unthinkable happen...it sure would be fun watching him squirm while making decisions he could not then change.
