Kerry trys to flip-flop---and does

BILLINGSGATE JOURNAL

BULLETIN: On NBC News, Tom Brok (awe) and (wind) Thursday night when he interviewed John Kerry. Leaving even BILLINGSGATE in awe with his ability to take both sides of an issue, ie., flip-flop, the JOURNAL will publish the contents of the interview with no embellishments because not even a veteran wordsmith of my caliber can make Kerry's statements appear more absurd:

Brokaw: "If you had been President, Saddam Hussein would be in power."

Kerry: "Not necessarily."

Brokaw: "You said you wouldn't go to war against him."

Kerry: "That's not true. Because under the inspection process, Saddam Hussein was required to destroy those kinds of materials and weapons."

Brokaw: "But he wasn't destroying them."

Kerry: "That's what you have inspectors for. That's why I voted for the threat of force, because he only does things when you have a legitimate threat of force. It's irresponsible to suggest that if I were President, he wouldn't be gone. He might be gone, because if he hadn't complied, we might have had to go to war, but if we did, we would have gone with allies, so the American people weren't carrying the entire burden. And the entire world would understand why we did it."

BULLETIN: BILLINGSGATE feels as if he just fell off the turnip truck. A mere literary dwarf battling a giant so deft in deflecting the truth that this reporter is rendered speechless (nearly). One wonders why someone (me) would attempt to make Kerry appear ridiculous when he can do a far better job without any assistance. BILLINGSGATE rests his case.

Have a very warm and cordial weekend.
