Attacking from the Right?Just to add a bit more confusion to the Democratic presidential sweepstakes, John Kerry has an op-ed in today's Boston Globe noting the holes in the Moscow Treaty and calling for a return to Reagan's "trust, but verify" policy.
For those of you keeping score at home, that makes three Dem candidates staking out positions to the Right of the President on national security issues- Lieberman, Kerry and Graham. It is interesting to note that all three have more foreign policy expertise than the President and also far more than their Dem peers running to the Left of the President (Dean, Sharpton, Braun, Kucinich, and Edwards). And, from what I can tell so far Gephardt is in about the same place as the Prez.
