Kerry added a new twist to his criticisms of Bush. Now he says he believes in the pre-emptive strike, the part of Bush’s foreign policy attacked most often. He says he would attack first if he had sound intelligence information found credible by American and their allies. Then he criticized Bush again for “going it alone.”
A good reporter should ask him these questions:
- We had credible evidence that Saddam had WMDs and wanted to attack the US. Europe thought that had WMDs too, including France. Everybody believed that. Even you, Kerry, since you voted to authorize the war. Iraq spent 12 years defying the world’s attempt to disarm him. Would you have attacked Iraq, or would you have given them another 12 years?
- There is substantial evidence that the U.N. Oil for Food program was corrupt and that billions of dollars from Iraq were being used to pay U.N. and France officials. That may be a significant reason France would not support this war under any circumstances. In order to keep from “going it alone,” would you offer to bribe France with even more money, or would you invade France and force them to join us? Or do you have another solution?
As if that wasn’t enough, Kerry then attacked the “No Child Left Behind” law, saying that Bush isn’t spending enough on education.
