| Hat Tip Drudge... Inside the Beltway By John McCaslin Kerry out attack 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. Yes, but Bill Clinton was president in 1997, and Kimmy's "girlfriend" was our UN ambassador... "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." What would his cousins say??? especially that Green Party mayor over there???? 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. That Rascally Congressman. "There must be some high order fraud in the video! Remember the movie Forest Gump? I don't remember Crossfire in 1997!" - J F'ng K |
