Kerry's "security" speech

As long as I've been focusing on speeches lately, Kerry gave a good one yesterday on security.

Saying he wanted to "respond with overwhelming and devastating force" if the nation were attacked with weapons of mass destruction during his presidency. I think that will hit just the right tone with voters who could go either way.

He then went on to say this, "They've looked to force before exhausting diplomacy," Kerry said. "They bullied when they should have persuaded. They've gone it alone when they should have assembled a whole team. They have hoped for the best when they should have prepared for the worst. They've made America less safe than we should be in a dangerous world. In short, they have undermined the legacy of generations of American leadership."

He said the world yearns for "an America that listens and leads again," a nation "that is respected, not just feared and mistrusted."

That's not bad. In fact, it was good enough to get immediately denounced by Republicans.
That's always a good sign.
