But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you‘re doing what you‘re doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.

I'm confused. That's not a flipflop.
He's saying that while he reserves the right to preemptively attack a nation in defense of the US, he's probably not going to do it without international backing. :eng: |

Right. So hes saying that if the world doesnt see us going to attack for legit reasons, he wont attack.
You know why France didnt join us in the war? Look up France and Russia's involvement in the Oil-For-Food scandal, where they made BILLIONS of dollars off of Iraq. If Kerry is going to have to pass a 'global test' to defend the US, looks like we're going to be taken over and all converted to Islam, eh?
