Kerry, Newest Neocon, by William Safire, the NY Times's resident neocon. Congratulates Kerry for outflanking Bush on the right, coming down on the side of the military hardliners in regards to what to do with places like Fallujah, by saying "What i want to do is change the dynamics on the ground. And you have to do that by beginning to not back off Fallujah and otehr places and send the wrong message to terrorists..You've got to show you're serious". And Safire notes with glee that Kerry's antiwar supporters "shut theirr eyes to Kerry's hardline, right-wing, unilateral, pre-election policy epiphany."
