Kerry gave a « rock hard » pledge not to raise middle-class taxes if he becomes president, though he said a national emergency or war could change that.
Reminded that the country is at war already, Kerry said, « We’re going to reduce the burden in this war, and if we do what we need to do for our economy, we’re going to grow the tax base of our country. »
Révélateur de l’état d’esprit de Kerry: il n’a toujours pas assimilé que les US sont en guerre.

when questioned about saying Thursday in his acceptance speech, « I know what we have to do in Iraq, » he would not tip his hand.
« I’ve been involved in this for a long time, longer than George Bush, » he said. « I’ve spent 20 years negotiating, working, fighting for different kinds of treaties and different relationships around the world. I know that as president there’s huge leverage that will be available to me, enormous cards to play, and I’m not going to play them in public. I’m not going to play them before I’m president. »
Reminded that he sounded like Richard M. Nixon, who campaigned in 1968 by saying he had a secret plan to end the war in Vietnam, Kerry responded: « I don’t care what it sounds like. The fact is that I’m not going to negotiate in public today without the presidency, without the power. »
Kerry previously has discussed his desire to reduce U.S. forces in Iraq but declined to attach any timetable to that goal. He spoke more extensively about Iraq after his acceptance speech, suggesting he has an exit strategy.
Il sait tout faire, et mieux que Bush, mais il dira jamais comment. Quand il sera président, he bien, là on verra ce qu’on verra.
Crédibilité ? Zéro. C’est dommage il avait peut-être de bonnes idées, allez savoir…
