What Does Kerry Think?

John Kerry has been all over the place on his views on the War on Terror and Iraq. Depending on the day, he is either for or against both, one but not the other, or neither. As this article points out, Kerry may actually have a position on these two important issues, but as of yet, no one (including the candidate) seems to know what it is.

Kerry can’t dance this way forever and expect to win. Voters need some sense of his proposed direction. For all the brickbats thrown at Bush, at least folks know where he stands.

The same can’t be said for Kerry. Voters suffer migraines attempting to reconcile his criticisms that Bush should have submitted to the whims of France and Russia with Kerry’s supposed support for unilateral action. Ditto for endorsing preemptive action in between speeches where one of the biggest applause lines is, “In our Administration, we’ll never go to war because we want to; we’ll only go to war because we have to.”

Maybe Kerry won’t deviate much on the War on Terror. Who knows? But that’s the point.

Cox&Forkum had a great cartoon of the position of Kerry and Edwards.
