Disturbing Mixed Signals from Senator Kerry's Latin America Policy

• Sen. Kerry woos hard-line Cuban right; risks marring his reputation as an advocate of a more principled foreign policy.

• The Democratic candidate could witness a substantial bloc of voters defect to a possible resurgent Nader campaign, which could cost him dearly in swing states, and even sway the election.

• Outflanking Bush on the right regarding Cuba and Venezuela could dangerously ignite these issues, as occurred in the first Bush presidency when the U.S. invaded Panama in 1989.

• Kerry’s Latin American script could have been written by Roger Noriega and Otto Reich.

• The Democratic candidate: sterile on Cuba and Venezuela, good on Haiti.

I know where Kerry stood in the Iran contra investigations.....I'll give JK whatever operating room he needs in winning this election. Ultimately, his election will be in the best interests of the Venezualan people.

Sorry Larry, no sale.

BTW in case anyone is curious COHA is not right wing.
