John Kerry Then and Now.
John Kerry, Dec. 3, 2003.
I fear that in the run-up to the 2004 election, the administration is considering what is tantamount to a cut-and-run strategy. Their sudden embrace of accelerated Iraqification and American troop withdrawal dates, without adequate stability, is an invitation to failure. The hard work of rebuilding Iraq must not be dictated by the schedule of the next American election.
John Kerry, now.
"Stay the course" is not a plan. And what this administration wants is to have a fake debate, as usual. Uh, they're--you hear the drumbeat on every television show from every commentator, "cut and run, cut and run, cut and run, cut and run." That's their phrase. They've found their three words, they love to do that, and they're gonna try to make the elections in November a choice between "cut and run" or "stay the course." That's not the choice. My plan is not "cut and run." Their plan is "lie and die."
What a diference a campaign makes. When he is trying to look tough on the war on terror one thing, now the peace-nick "real" side of John Kerry comes out.
I have never been happier that GWB is in the oval office. He does not get everything right, but the man has principles and I know when he tells me something he means it.
