Default Will the real Kerry please stand up.

Here's an interseting read: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=357339

"I"m an internationalist," Kerry told The Crimson in 1970. "I"d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."

And this guy wants to be Commander-in-Chief!

Scary, huh?

But almost 34 years later, Kerry"s remarks on American military and intelligence operations vastly diverge from opinions expressed by the present-day Sen. John F. Kerry, D.-Mass., the leading candidate in the Democratic primary for president.

"I"m an internationalist," Kerry told The Crimson in 1970. "I"d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."

Kerry said he wanted "to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care."

The Kerry campaign, celebrating primary victories in Virginia and Tennessee last night, declined to comment on the senator"s remarks.

As a candidate for president, Kerry has said he supports the autonomy of the U.S. military and has never called for a scale-back of CIA operations.
Will the real John Kerry please stand up?

I wasn't even alive in 1970, but I can imagine that in 34 years my worldview will have altered quite a bit. Blaming Kerry for something he said 30 years ago is a little (or a lot) like blaming Bush for spending part of the 70's in an alcoholic haze- not really fair, is it?
