FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP

I will once again state for the record that I liked Bill Clinton and thought that aside from his moral failings he wasn't a such a horrible leader for the times. Part of that was his vagueness, not wanting to offend anyone, not really taking too many unpopular stands on serious issues, etc. However, today we are at war and I just don't trust anyone who, right or wrong, doesn't give me clarity with where they want to take this country or what they plan to do.

Will the real John Kerry please stand up? Is it this John Kerry?

Last October, at an Arab American Institute conference in Dearborn, Mich., then-candidate Sen. Joe Lieberman got booed for defending the Israeli fence, while Kerry called it "provocative" and said, "We do not need another barrier to peace."

Or this one....

But at a CBS debate yesterday just before he met the Jewish leaders, Kerry said it's "a fence necessary to the security of Israel until they have a partner to be able to negotiate" - he took a similar line at the meeting, those present said.

And who will be his trusted advisors?

Kerry also backed away from a prior speech in which he suggested he'd name a Mideast envoy like Jimmy Carter, Reagan-Bush aide James Baker or Bill Clinton - raising alarms among Jewish leaders, who see Carter and Baker as anti-Israel.

Instead, sources said, Kerry yesterday floated names like Clinton adviser Sandy Berger and Bush-Clinton Mideast adviser Dennis Ross as the kind of people he'd rely on; both are seen as far more sympathetic to Israel.
