Kerry's Confusing MTV Interview

Kerry hasn't taken any questions from the press for about a month now. So when we came across this interview last night on MTV we were somewhat excited to hear Kerry speak outside his increasingly boring stump format.

(W is for wrong?? Was Sue Grafton hired by the Kerry campaign when we weren't looking?)

The video clip from MTV's Choose or Lose series runs a minute long, and appears to have been filmed in mid-August:





Ok, let's try to make some sense of this:

• Kerry will convince traditional allies (read: France and Germany) to send troops into Iraq, thereby allowing us to exit, by signing the Kyoto treaty.



• The president hasn't done enough to stop the increasing clash between Islamic moderates and Islamic extremists.

H is for "Huh?"

Apparently this is what Kerry means when he says he would have taken us to war in a different way. First comes the ultimatum, then the inspectors, then the Kyoto treaty, then the tanks (presumably solar-powered) start rolling.

And how exactly does President Kerry expect to get the Senate to ratify Kyoto when it doesn't comply with the minimum requirements outlined in the Byrd-Hagel resolution of 1997? A resolution that was passed, with Kerry's support, by a margin of 95-0.

As for not doing enough to stop an increasing clash between moderate and extremist Muslims, we don't know what to say. We'd submit that in this case "W" most definitely stands for "WTF is that supposed to mean?"

Whatever it means, Kerry offers a solution: we need to reach out to people and isolate the extremists. It seems like to us this might involve more clashing and whatnot, so we'd advise against it. Reaching out should always be the last resort. Who will be the last moderate and/or extremist to clash for a mistake?
