WHERE THERE'S A WILL..GEORGE, THAT IS!



One of my favourite columnists is George Will. I don't agree with everything that he says, but he says it well! Here is a great take from George on the flip-flop man, John Kerry.



"The... flip-flop was hilariously brought out when one of Kerry's constituents accidentally was sent copies of two letters from the senator — one targeted at anti-war constituents and one at those who supported the war.



The first stressed Kerry's demand that "economic sanctions be given more time to work" and how he'd warned the Senate "that a decision to go to war was 'rolling the dice' with our future."



The second, dated just nine days later, emphasized how "I have strongly and unequivocally supported President Bush's response to the crisis and the policy goals he has established . . . in standing up this shocking aggression in the Persian Gulf."



John Kerry's back and forth and back again through two wars with Iraq is disturbing enough, suggesting a lack of genuine conviction and a disquieting tendency to keep one eye on the opinion polls. But what's really troubling is the distinct impression that Kerry remains haunted by Vietnam syndrome — which leads one to wonder whether a President Kerry would be prepared, if necessary, to commit to using military force to defend this nation."



Perceptive, subtle and on the button!
