What clarity of vision. What did he have to say in the past?
Which way is the wind blowing?
Senator John Edwards

Remarks as prepared for delivery
...Today I want to focus on America's role in the world, and especially, how the exercise of American leadership around the world is critical to protecting the security of Americans here at home.
...But the first responsibility of any government is the safety and security of its citizens. I believe that, today, that responsibility imposes three challenges above all others: first, to eliminate the threat of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons; second, to win the war on terrorism; and third, to promote democracy and freedom around the world, especially the Middle East.
Nice catch. Either he’s flip-flopped on the WOT, or he’s just pandering to the Nutroots Left. Maybe both.
Man these guys make me sick! People like Edwards will say anything to get the power they need to make themselves feel good.
