Kerry Flip Flop Update

Filed under: General — by Jane Novak at 10:05 am on Monday, September 20, 2004

Kerry’s making a strong foreign policy speech attacking Bush’s decisions and handeling of the Iraq War.

News Flash: Now Kerry wouldn’t have gone to war.

I’m still waiting for Kerry to stop bashing Bush and say what he will do as president. OK now he’s saying he laid out a consitent plan from the beginning to deal with Iraq: 1) International support with debt relief, troops and UN protection, insist they make good on the UN resolution, let anyone in on reconstruction contracts.We cannot hope to succeed untill other nations share the burden. #2 train Iraqi security forces. #3 Reconstruction that brings tangable benefits to the Iraqi people. #4 take steps to make sure elections are held, which includes bringing in help from other countries to guard the UN once it comes in.

Then we can start withdrawing troops next summer and bring them all home within four years.

The whole plan hinges on greater international support. There’s still no back up plan if the world doesn’t flip flop and reverse its current position.

Like the convention, he sounded good until you realize there’s no substance.

Update: David watched it too.

Over the weekend France said that under no circumstances would they commit troops – no matter who is President. I watched Kerry Morph into Teddy Kennedy right before my eyes. On the positive, I think he has returned to whatever core beliefs he has! He couldn’t sell the American people the lies of the convention so he figures I’m screwed anyway – might as well try selling what I believe!

Does he still even remember what he believes? That’s kind of impressive, actually.
