Kerry blew it big time in the debate when he said regarding North Korea's nuclear weapons: "I want bilateral talks which put all of the issues, from the armistice of 1952, the economic issues, the human rights issues, the artillery disposal issues, the DMZ issues and the nuclear issues on the table."

Basically Kerry said he is willing to talk about ending the armistice of 1952 and allow North Korea to send troops across the DMZ. Maybe, Kerry didn't mean to imply that but he did.


If I were North Korea I would interpret that to mean that South Korean independence was also subject to negotiation with the U.S. particularly considering Kerry's pro North Vietnam stance in the Vietnam War.

No one who wants to be president should ever enter negotiations by saying everything the U.S. has done in the past was subject to negotiations. That violates the first rule of negotiations. I'm glad Kerry wasn't my negotiator when I belonged to the SEIU.

North Korea had only been asking for a non-aggression pact and economic assistance in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons. Kerry has foolishing suggested he might give them more than they asked for -- a very, very bad negotiating strategy.

I'm telling you - the more people think about what Kerry actually said rather than how he said it - the better. I'll bet by Sunday AM the consensus will be that Bush won hands down.

Boy, did you hit the bull's eye. I hope you send that to as many people as possible. May I?
