I think . ... and I am not defending or criticising Kerry . . . That as a politician he is trying to be all things to all people in order to get elected.
If you think about it, in the end he doesn't really know whats up until he gets into office and starts receiving reports directly.
If I remember correctly, one of Kennedy's major planks when he ran for office was that he was going to fix the enormous disparity between our American nuclear arsenal and the Russian one.
It was a huge campaign issue. When he got into office and started receiving the real reports, he learned that there was indeed an enormous disparity . . . in our favor lol.
I think people called for his resignation then . . . much like Bush not finding the WMD's.
But seriously. As a conservative I am not going to support a President that signs the Patriot Act into law. I don't mind killing all the foreign nationals the President fears is a threat to the country. But the Patriot Act is a betrayal.
