Christopher Hitchens in the NYT Book Review gives us this quote from Kerry:
If we hadn't voted the way we voted, we would not have been able to have a chance of going to the United Nations and stopping the president, in effect, who already had the votes and who was obviously asking serious questions about whether or not the Congress was going to be there to enforce the effort to create a threat.
Was that ever a
Kerryism of the Day? Hitchens also wonders,
To hear Kerry speak in Boston, you could draw the conclusion that past military service is not just a good qualification for the presidency, but the equivalent of a necessary condition. If this is true now, why was it not so true in 1996 or 1992?
Yeah, it's pretty funny to see many Democrats insisting on how military experience is indispensible in a president. Both of these points have occurred to me before, but merely suggest that Kerry is not much different than Bush.
