I listened to John Kerry’s interview on National Public Radio with Robert Seigel this week and came away with some major impressions of the Senator’s comments. First of all, I noticed that he was confrontational when Seigel questioned him about what was different between Kerry’s position and what the Bush Administration was doing. He was completely negative and highly combative when he was laying out the differences between his position and Bush’s. I can’t see any difference between the two, except that Kerry is making promises to internationalize the Iraq solution that he can’t keep. France and Germany won’t send troops to Iraq; they’ve already said so.
Senator Kerry also laid out a plan and demanded that President Bush implement it immediately. How can a man who was sent home after four questionable months in Vietnam and THEN become an antiwar activist lay out a battle plan for a sitting U.S. President and his generals to follow? Kerry’s credibility is stretched almost beyond belief. In fact, he has NO credibility here. If he had kept his focus on the economy and domestic issues (including national security) and international relations, he’d be in a much stronger position than he currently finds himself in.
I’m no military expert, and I don’t know what the military needs for victory, but I know how politics work, and Kerry’s politics are way off-center. Nader, anyone?
I don’t think there has been a more hapless candidate in modern times than Kerry. His flip-flops have become so severe that his base is faltering. He’s down in the polls (if you believe them), he has no clear vision, and people still don’t know who he is. His NPR interview was a disaster.
When Osama bin-Laden is captured next month, Kerry’s going to be foaming at the mouth.
