Stephanopoulos - "What are the differences between your approach and President Bush and Iraq going forward?"
KERRY: "I've been involved in this for a long time, longer than George Bush. [sic] I've spent 20 years negotiating, working, fighting for different kinds of treaties and different relationships around the world. [sic] I know that as president there's huge leverage that will be available to me, enormous cards to play, and I'm not going to play them in public, George. I'm not going to play them before I'm president. "
Stephanopoulos - "Senator, forgive me. It sounds like that famous old Nixon secret plan."
KERRY: "I don't care what it sounds like, it's truth.
I don't care what it sounds like. The fact is that I'm not going to negotiate in public, today, without the presidency, without the power. I'm going to do that as president, and people will have to judge my 35 years of involvement in foreign affairs, my 20 years as a senator fighting to make things happen. "
Wow. If George Bush said this he'd be crucified in the press. He's got a secret plan for Iraq, that he's not gonna tell us about, and he'll implement it only if he's elected? Is this guy nuts? This is bordering on mental illness.
