Kerry to Time: "I regret..."

[Rose Siding]

Sunday, Sep. 12, 2004
In his first wide-ranging interview with a national news organization in more than a month, John Kerry sat down with TIME's national political correspondent Karen Tumulty last week as his campaign plane flew between a health-care forum in St. Louis, Mo., and a rally in Allentown, Pa. With a guitar case resting nearby and his daughter Alexandra, 31, popping in at one point, the challenger appeared very focused as he reflected on what lies ahead in the final seven weeks of the campaign—and, if he manages to pull off a come-from-behind victory, the four years after that.

One question that has left the President at a loss for words is whether he has had regrets. Do you?

KERRY
I've made mistakes, and I've done things that I regret, sure. I regret voting for Justice Scalia. I regret that any of us put faith in what the President said about how he would take America to war.

That's nearly as good as "I regret my vote for the IWR". Yay! :bounce:

2. .... "how he would take America to war" ?????

I wish he'd have stated it thusly .... I regret that any of us put faith in what the President said about "taking America to war as a last resort."

3. Excellent! This is the John Kerry we know.

TIME
Do you think President Bush shirked his duties during the Vietnam era?

KERRY
I'm focused on the issues of now and today. The White House can answer questions they need to answer. I've answered all the questions I'll answer.

I think this is a good answer.
