On Tuesday, Tom Maguire of JustOneMinute, posted a transcript of the December 14, 2001 broadcast of CNN's "Larry King Live." Kerry was for our Tora Bora strategy before he decided he might gain politically from calling it "Outsourcing:"
CALLER: Hello. Yes, I would like to ask the panel why they don't use napalm or flamethrowers on those tunnels and caves up there in Afghanistan?
[. . .]
KING: Senator Kerry?
KERRY: Well, I think it depends on where you are tactically. They may well be doing that at some point in time. But for the moment, what we are doing, I think, is having its impact and it is the best way to protect our troops and sort of minimalize the proximity, if you will. I think we have been doing this pretty effectively and we should continue to do it that way.
The entire transcript is available here.
So Outsourcing Tora Bora is another Kerry flip flop. I'm shocked! Kerry's penchant for changing positions based upon political expediency drives me crazy.
