What Me Nuanced?

One of John Kerry’s great strengths is supposed to be his “nuance.” So did you catch Kerry denying in Sunday’s Washington Post that he is nuanced? Here’s the end of the Post’s piece on Kerry’s foreign policy (here’s the link for the story, although for some reason this bit does not appear to be in the online version, although it appeared in the printed paper): “Kerry said the floor speech [supporting the Iraq War resolution] reflected ‘no ambiguity whatsoever in that position and no nuance, just I think a smart, prescient position that saw the troubles down the road.

’Foreign policy is not simplistic,’ Kerry added. ‘They [Republicans] want it to be simplistic; it isn’t. I can give you lots of non-nuanced positions. There is nothing nuanced about anything I’ve done.’”
