He has spelled out his reasons for events that HAVE HAPPENED - but I think it's impossible to state criteria for unknown events.
He's said that he'll "hunt down and kill" terrorists. He agreed that Saddam was a threat and that military in Afghanistan was "the right war". Perhaps "roughly predict" were (my) wrong words, but I do think that you see how he'd react to simplistic scenarios (a direct attack on the US, clearly terrorist actions, etc) but the world is often more complicated than that. That's really the point: we can't come up with a five-point, flowchart to determine when to go to war. So when that course of action is being considered you must be able to defend it as the right (and in the case of war I think the only possible) course of action.

I agree with your assessment of Kerry, but why can't he spell it out as coherently? The second he uttered "global test", he should of had his criteria ready....undecided voters don't like roughly predicting. So you are right that his words are being spun out of control by his opponents...but it's because he's opened himself up to it. Don't give Rove an inch, he'll get 30 miles out of it. ><snip> > Those statements, it seems to me, form enough of a framework to at least > roughly predict his criteria. > > Jim Davis > ><snip> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133573 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
