This will be in tomorrow’s paper, I’m told.
Editor:
The GOP/RNC and its various surrogates keep claiming that Senator Kerry is indecisive and the president is resolute: this is another way of saying the incumbent can’t or won’t change his mind, even when the circumstances dictate it.
Isn’t it the current president who has said time and time again how he won’t let foreign governments have veto power over US policy? How does that square with his insistence on some complex 6-way talks over N Korea? Why are we ceding leadership of this issue — a direct threat to the US, in the president’s own view — to China? I’m not saying the 6 way talks aren’t a better way to go — I have no idea — but this sounds a lot like “read my lips, no new taxes” or “no US troops on nation-building adventures.”
