#1 Kerry hopes to fool some US Jews. He already has said US support for Israel is on the table.

#2 Kerry is going to be in trouble with Chiraq for going off the reservation like this. How unilateral.

#3 As we speak, Arafat is quaking in his boots over the Kerry statement!!

#4 Kerry must be assuming the Muslim vote is in the bag. Certainly they dislike Bush's actions enough that they already declared against him. However, if Kerry keeps this up, they're going to sit out the election. And, with the Jewish vote split, he needs those Muslim votes. I wonder what he'll promise the Muslims to bring them back into the fold?

#5 "I wonder what he'll promise the Muslims to bring them back into the fold?"

Two hundred eighty million hostages.

#6 "I wonder what he'll promise the Muslims to bring them back into the fold?"
That he'll convert to Islam as soon as he becomes president. The promise will be delivered in Arabic through an interpreter.

#7 "'I wonder what he'll promise the Muslims to bring them back into the fold?' Two hundred eighty million hostages."

Thanks for putting it so well, Dave D.
That's one of the best comments I've read in quite a while.

#9 Don't mis-judge Kerry. You'll see the man don't waiver if you look for all the nuances in his carefully chosen words. See if he's properly nuanced, the enemy can't figgure out what his position really is an he will always have the element of surprise. He is not ever bound down to a position or belief and this gives him flexibility.

#10 Hank, you may be tongue in cheek, but you make it sound like Kerry being nuanced is part of a strategy for dealing with foreign policy. Isn't he nuanced because he does not want voters to know what he really believes, lest they not vote for him?

#11 Hank could be right, a nuanced lab/lib might be just the hombre to deal with the curvy knife guys, throw 'em off guard, steal their women, mess with their souls.

#12 It all boils down to the same thing. Kerry is nuanced cause he don't want voters to know what he is, "lest they not vote for him", and he don't want the curvy knifeds to know cause he's yeller. Just like I said about the feller from Spain, the new prime minister, he is yeller too. He and Kerry are both yeller fellers. (But don't tell no one, cause they don't want no one to know.)
