#1 Churchill speaks:

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

Kerry replies (loosely adapted from his Time magazine interview):

Will we fight?: "I didn't say that,..I can't tell you...It's possible...It's not a certainty...If I had known...No, I think you can still ? wait, no. You can't ? that's not a fair question and I'll tell you why,"

#3 And I damn sure meant it. And if the German's had gotten lucky I'd sent the fleet and the RAF and what remained of the empire to Canada, whence we would revictual and gird our loins and get several cases of whip ass and prepare to commence to be angry and generally lay down the law so that if the empire lasts for a thousand years (and it will) they would say... this, this, was their most efficient hour.

#4 "We know from our largely unsuccessful attempts to enlist the cooperation of other nations, especially industrialized trading nations, in efforts to impose and enforce somewhat more ambitious standards on nations such as Iran, China, Burma and Syria, that the willingness of most other nations â including a number who are joined in the sanctions to isolate Iraq â is neither wide nor deep to join in imposing sanctions on a sovereign nation to spur it to `clean up its actâ and comport its actions with accepted international norms."

Wait, I think... No. No, I don't get it.

#5 So this is what they mean by nuanced speech? It's just circular babble. In psychiatric terms I believe this is referred to as affected speech and is characteristic of some flavor of schizophrenia.

Do we have any RBers who are practitioners who can help out here and explain it better / clarify / simplify?

#6 It sounds like George Soros was writing Kerry's spew then, too.

#7 I am scared, really scared, if this guy gets close to the big O. I knew him when I was in DC and he was an aloof money-grubber who would say and do anything. I don't want him with his finger in the air over Cape Cod making decisions. Do you?
