This looks like the same article that is in the Chicago Sun-Times.

One of the clearest expositions I've read of the incoherence of Kerry's Iraq policy. I wish I had confidence that the undecided electorate would get and understand this simple message from Steyn.

[MEG33]

"They thought Kerry was good in the debate, just as he was good in his convention speech, because on both occasions he was tactically artful. But that's not going to cut it. We're post-Clinton: you can't triangulate your way to victory."


Thank you, Mark Steyn.

Let us not forget that while F'n was getting his nails manicured the President was out visiting with the citizens of Floriduh who had been clobbered by multiple hurricaines. While F'n has been spending his time avoiding the duties of a U.S. Senator the Commander in Chief is NEVER off the clock!

JOHN FRENCH KERRY'S SECRET PLAN: IS IT A FRAUD OR A DELUSION?</FONT

Okay, Now since Mark has stated it, it was a fact. Bush WAS off. The FReepers screamed how wonderful he was, but it is not true. His message was great! However, he did not do well..

Was it because Kerry was tipped off ahead of time about the questions and Bush knew it, or was it because he was suppose to look like a dolt to throw them off for the next debate??

"...As he made clear on Thursday, Saddam was a growing threat so he had to be disarmed so Kerry voted for war in order to authorise Bush to go to the UN but Bush failed to pass "the global test" so we shouldn't have disarmed Saddam because he wasn't a threat so the war was a mistake so Kerry will bring the troops home by persuading France and Germany to send their troops instead because he's so much better at building alliances so he'll have no trouble talking France and Germany into sending their boys to be the last men to die for Bush's mistake.

Have I got that right?..."

My God, Steyn nails it !
Mark is such a wordsmith.

We're post-Clinton: you can't triangulate your way to victory.

To understand John Kerry is to understand his dad. Richard Kerry wrote in his book, The Star-Spangled Mirror, published in 1990:

"Americans are inclined to see the world and foreign affairs in black and white. They celebrate their own form of government and denigrate all others, making them guilty of what he calls 'ethnocentric accommodation' -- everyone ought to be like us. As a result, America has committed the 'fatal error' of 'propagating democracy' and fallen prey to 'the siren's song of promoting human rights,' falsely assuming that our values and institutions are a good fit in the Third World. And, just as Americans exaggerate their own goodness, they exaggerate their enemies' badness. The Soviet Union wasn't nearly as imperialistic as American politicians warned. Seeing the Soviet Union as the aggressor in every instance, and the U.S. as only reacting defensively, relieves an American observer from the need to see any parallel between our use of military power in distant parts of the world, and the Soviet use of military power outside the Soviet Union. . . . Third world Marxist movements were autonomous national movements -- outside Moscow's orbit."

More quotes and facts on the John F. Kerry Timeline.

They connected the dots in 1998 but Senator Kerry and MSM can't seem to connect the dots in 2004.

Here is an easy to read chart of what the media was saying pre-911 (and after): Connect the Dots...Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden

Maybe cause Bush was touring Fla and being a president for the last year and Kerry spends his time getting Botox and Tans

[goldstategop]

Newsweek and the partisan media think they can help Ketchup Boy triangulate his way to victory. It ain't over yet and Mark Steyn shouldn't underestimate the lengths to which Danron and Co. will go to put John Kerry in the White House come January.

[AndyJackson]

Summit old, summit new, summit borrowed, summit blue, he's got summit for everyone. Summit-chanted evening, you may see a stranger, you may see a stranger across a crowded room.

Ok, I fold. Next to Steyn I will never be more than a 3rd rate hack writer.

Summit old, summit new, summit borrowed, summit blue, he's got summit for everyone.

Steyn is so droll and he just sets me off laughing. Honestly, this man should be writing current history plays. He would rival Shakespeare's productivity and wit.

Once again in your debt, Pokey....

As he made clear on Thursday, Saddam was a growing threat so he had to be disarmed so Kerry voted for war in order to authorise Bush to go to the UN but Bush failed to pass "the global test" so we shouldn't have disarmed Saddam because he wasn't a threat so the war was a mistake so Kerry will bring the troops home by persuading France and Germany to send their troops instead because he's so much better at building alliances so he'll have no trouble talking France and Germany into sending their boys to be the last men to die for Bush's mistake.

[dufekin]

Kerry does have a clear position on Iraq. It's just that the rest of us are so clouded by our pro-American stance that we refuse to engage in the mental gymnastics necessary to comprehend it. Kerry, as nearly as I can tell, is for the war but against the troops. He believes that we're fighting on the wrong side. Bush is too stupid to plan for war, so our troops must be at fault for entering the war on the wrong side. We should ally ourselves with the terrorists. Remember the courageous patriotism of Benedict Arnold at West Point, New York?

[maica]

President Bush was tired and annoyed, but after 90 minutes of his answering slanted questions, the best the Dems could take away were screen caps of his facial expressions. He did not give them one sound bite that they could turn against him.

At least not one that I have heard broadcast.

While Kerry gave up some gems - "global test" - the winner!

LOL

Kerry... Saddam was a growing threat so he had to be disarmed so Kerry voted for war in order to authorise Bush to go to the UN but Bush failed to pass "the global test" so we shouldn't have disarmed Saddam because he wasn't a threat so the war was a mistake so Kerry will bring the troops home by persuading France and Germany to send their troops instead because he's so much better at building alliances so he'll have no trouble talking France and Germany into sending their boys to be the last men to die for Bush's mistake.

Have I got that right?
