Recent remark by John Kerry sounded a whole lot like George W. Bush

"AM I PREPARED as president to go get them before they get us if we locate them and have the sufficient intelligence? You bet I am." Furthermore, "I will never allow any other country to veto what we need to do, and I will never allow any other institution to veto what we need to do to protect our nation."

George W. Bush, you say? Expressing his doctrine of pre-emption, as well his ability to act independently of other countries and the United Nations?

Wrong. The speaker is Sen. John Kerry at a news conference at his office on Friday, as reported by The Associated Press. Makes you wonder what all that talk about Mr. Bush's "arrogance" was about.
