...eBay, because the military does not provide it. But Cheney didn’t refute the claim at all. Instead, he pointed out that Kerry voted against an appropriation of $87 billion requested by the president for the Iraq effort, giving the impression that the lack of equipment was Kerry??s fault. Cheney correctly gambled that no one would ask about the implications of the context—the fact that, as he noted, the bill passed anyway. Reporters had no time to ask the question begged by the context: Why, if Bush got his Iraq money...
...decade later, Huntington joined the Carter administration as a senior National Security Council official. But after serving on an advisory panel in the late years of the Reagan presidency, Huntington—who says he supports Sen. John F. Kerry??s 2004 candidacy—acknowledges that his days in the political world are almost certainly over...
Then there is the small matter of what could happen in the future if a President Kerry decided that military action had become unavoidable, and sought the support of the European Union. Kerry??s “coalition of the bribed” logic has sent a none-too-subtle message that Warsaw and Rome should have deferred to their betters in Paris and Berlin in 2002 and 2003 and that is hardly going to win back support from the two largest nations at the heart of the E.U. in the future; in fact, it is more likely...

Now it is Schroeder’s government which may be on its way out, and the opposition Christian Democrats who urged a quiet, behind-the-scenes dissent towards Washington may yet reap the benefits. Kerry??s calculus thus makes little sense even from the standpoint of mending fences with Paris and Berlin. The Bush Administration has sent American troops to operate alongside their French counterparts to restore order in Haiti and hosted Schroeder to discuss the possibility of Germany leading the NATO peacekeeping...
...Kerry??s defenders may cry foul, pointing to the alleged vilification of France by the Bush Administration in the run-up to war in Iraq as a justification for Kerry??s disrespectful attitude towards the nations that took part in the coalition. While this “eye for an eye” argument might satisfy partisans, it does nothing to address the question of whether the nation will in fact have a less ideological foreign policy, as Kerry argues is his goal. Politics of course has never stopped at the water’s edge...
