Hello All!

LEHRER: New question. Two minutes, Senator Kerry.

What is your position on the whole concept of preemptive war?

KERRY: The president always has the right, and always has had the right, for
preemptive strike. That was a great doctrine throughout the Cold War. And it
was always one of the things we argued about with respect to arms control.

[My comments]

Kerry is mentally retarded, our doctrine throughout the cold war was MaD,
Mutually assured destruction

We hardly if ever pre-empted anyone or anything during the cold war.

Korea: We reacted to the North invading the South.

 Cuba: We reacted to the missiles being in place

Vietnam: We took over from the French

Iran: We reacted to our hostages

Libya: We reacted to their hostilities and disco bombing

Grenada: Our students were in peril, tho this might pass as pre-emption??

Panama: Druggie Noriega

I think you can piece together the rest..

[end]

No president, though all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I,
the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of
America.

But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the
test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand
fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that
you did it for legitimate reasons.

[My Comments]

Read, we need world permission to defend ourselves..

Britain didnt need permission for the Falklands action!

Kerry gets elected and feels he needs to patronize the world, we are screwed.

[end]

Here we have our own secretary of state who has had to apologize to the world
for the presentation he made to the United Nations.

KERRY: I mean, we can remember when President Kennedy in the Cuban missile
crisis sent his secretary of state to Paris to meet with DeGaulle. And in the
middle of the discussion, to tell them about the missiles in Cuba, he said,
"Here, let me show you the photos." And DeGaulle waved them off and said, "No,
no, no, no. The word of the president of the United States is good enough for
me."

[My Comments]

Kennedy didnt have to do this, the Soviets had missiles on Cuba, not Corsica.

[end]

How many leaders in the world today would respond to us, as a result of what
we've done, in that way? So what is at test here is the credibility of the
United States of America and how we lead the world. And Iran and Iraq are now
more dangerous -- Iran and North Korea are now more dangerous.

[My comments]

Uh, North Korea violated a treaty or agreement brokered by Clinton, Iran is
thumbing its nose at the International Atomic Agency and the UN, yet lets blame
Bush.

Lets blame North Korea and Iran for their own fuckups..

[end]

Now, whether preemption is ultimately what has to happen, I don't know yet. But
I'll tell you this: As president, I'll never take my eye off that ball. I've
been fighting for proliferation the entire time -- anti-proliferation the
entire time I've been in the Congress. And we've watched this president
actually turn away from some of the treaties that were on the table.

KERRY: You don't help yourself with other nations when you turn away from the
global warming treaty, for instance, or when you refuse to deal at length with
the United Nations.

You have to earn that respect. And I think we have a lot of earning back to do.
