John Kerry was on C-Span's Washington Journal this a.m...here's what he said.

[KoKo]

A caller who said she was a Republican but had voted for Kerry last time asked about Poppy Bush's connections to the Saudi Royal Family and wondered if protecting the Saudi Royal family could be the reason we went to war in Iraq. She said that her husband worked for ARAMCO years ago and told her that the Bushs were tied into the Saudi Royals and that's why she asked.

Kerry replies that there were allegations about the Bush family and the Saudi's but there was no substance to Bush going to war to protect them. He went on to say that Radical Extremists were undermining the moderates in the region and that he felt that Bush/Cheney really believed that would be remaking the Middle East by supporting the Moderates and not the Radical Extremists who want to undermine the moderates. He did mention Doug Feith and Richard Perle but didn't refer to the Neo-Cons as a group. Basically he blew off the war for Oil Connection and that the terrorists do have legitimate reasons for questioning the Saudi's and others who keep them in poverty.

When the C-Span Anchor asked if he would rather begin negotiations now to get out of Iraq or wait until General Petreus's report on September 15th ...Kerry said..."I would rather wait."

What's going on with Kerry? The whole interview seemed odd. :shrug:
