How come is was OK in 1997 for John Kerry to appear on CNN's Crossfire and announce that it would be OK for the US to take unilateral action against Iraq?

During a 1997 debate on CNN's "Crossfire," Sen. John Kerry, now the Democratic presidential nominee, made the case for launching a pre-emptive attack against Iraq. So reveals Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, who appeared with Mr. Kerry on the program.

Mr. King says the U.N. Security Council had just adopted a resolution against Iraq that was watered down at the behest of the French and the Russians. Yet the candidate who now criticizes President Bush for ignoring French and Russian objections to the Iraq war blasted the two countries, claiming that they were compromised by their business dealings with Baghdad.

"We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians," said Mr. Kerry. "We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest."

While no "Crossfire" transcripts from 1997 are available, Mr. King in recent days produced a tape of the show, sharing it with New York radio host Monica Crowley for broadcast, and this Inside the Beltway column for publication. Stay tuned.

"You know, later on this week I'm going to have a chance to debate my opponent. It's been a little tough to prepare because he keeps changing his positions on the war on terror." — President Bush speaking in Springfield, Ohio

Mr. kerry seems to think that we'd be better off fighting the war with France at our side.
I'd like to explain to him that: "going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordian" |laugh|

there is no alternative...

shrub and kerry are nearly the same person ...

they are both FOS... there arent any choices..

just the lesser of two really bad evils.

as to who that is....

thats all you can really decide..
