“Rich,
One remark Kerry made jumped right out of the TV. In no uncertain terms he committed to end development of another weapons system (nuclear bunker buster bombs). Since Kerry has a reputation for opposing just ablout every major weapons system I’m amazed that the Republican spinners haven’t jumped on that. i.e. Even at a time of war, nuclear proliferation and terrorism, the only `nuance’ free statement Kerry made was to oppose weapons.”
ME: Good point, but I’m assuming it just would have been too complicated and risky for Bush to call Kerry on this—would have had to make the case for these new nukes and risked making a stupendous nuclear-related gaffe.
