John Kerry endorses pre-emptive war

[Bob Smith]

During a 1997 debate on CNN's "Crossfire," Sen. John Kerry, now the Democratic presidential nominee, made the case for launching a pre-emptive attack against Iraq.
So reveals Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, who appeared with Mr. Kerry on the program.
Mr. King says the U.N. Security Council had just adopted a resolution against Iraq that was watered down at the behest of the French and the Russians. Yet the candidate who now criticizes President Bush for ignoring French and Russian objections to the Iraq war blasted the two countries, claiming that they were compromised by their business dealings with Baghdad.
"We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians," said Mr. Kerry. "We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest."
While no "Crossfire" transcripts from 1997 are available, Mr. King in recent days produced a tape of the show, sharing it with New York radio host Monica Crowley for broadcast, and this Inside the Beltway column for publication. Stay tuned.

And even though he admits that we can't count on the French, he still wants their help today and help to "build bridges". I can't take this weather vain anymore, I hope he dissappears after Nov. 2

Fellas - isnt the washington times the paper owned by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon ? This is the dude who claims to be channeling stalin and hitler , and has been chosen to be jesus christs representative on earth. Moon is a cultist whacko.

He is also a convicted felon fraud for , i think tax evasion. hardly a credible source. kerry is a back peddaler, this i agree, but this isnt a good info source.

BTW - Good luck on your job BS.

Apparently there is a tape of the show though. Then again we have learned in the last few weeks you can't believe everything you read or see in the media!

The Washington Times would have to have at least as much integrity in its reporting as CBS or the New York Times, both who have their own credibility problems.

Windigo - WTF are you talking about ? A media outlet is only as credible as its face or mouthpiece. Moon is a fucking fruitcake. If you dont know this..you are the one not staying abreast of current events.

What examples of current events outside of Moon did i give ? I think you are projecting again man..

"So reveals Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, who appeared with Mr. Kerry on the program."

Sounds like a pretty credible source to me.

True. News World Communications, Inc. also acquired United Press International (UPI). The Washington Times is still a good paper; you can't discredit a story in a newspaper by pointing out who they are owned by.
