Kerry: “Our Moral Leadership is Not What It Ought to Be”

Now that John Kerry can no longer avoid taking questions from the press, we’re starting to see what a Kerry administration would be like. Case in point, here’s Kerry trying to take every possible position on the genocide in Sudan, using it to smear President Bush, and ending up making it clear that he would do nothing: Kerry Balks at Sending Troops to Sudan.

WASHINGTON - Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry says he would not send U.S. forces to stop the genocide in Sudan if they continued to be needed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“I’d do everything possible,” he said in a taped interview broadcast Thursday night on Black Entertainment Television, citing logistical support and money to help the African Union intervene in the Sudanese crisis.

Asked whether he’d send troops, Kerry said the United States would “have to be in a position in Iraq and Afghanistan” to allow that to happen. He said his options as president would be limited because President Bush has overextended U.S. forces.

“Our flexibility is less than it was,” he said. “Our moral leadership is not what it ought to be.”
