It was one of the funnier moments in recent American politics. We’re talking about that date in 2004 when presidential candidate, John Kerry, attempted to give an explanation for his
‘no’ vote on a bill calling for a further appropriation of $87B to support the Iraq war effort. Said the befuddled Kerry,
“I actually did vote for the $87B before I voted against it.”As you can imagine his explanation gave rise to much mirth and merriment in political circles, and the good John Kerry was branded a flip-flopper – a man with a convoluted mind who was at war with his own principles and himself. Remember, this was the same man who had voted in favour of the Iraq war. How could he now vote against providing funding for it? How could he now vote to de-fang the war machine? How could he now vote to leave the troops in the field without the requisite tools to effectively prosecute the war?

MUMBAI: Antigua and Barbuda Government has reiterated its commitment to have Mehul Choksi repatriated to India even as mystery continues to surround over the identity of the woman who had allegedly lured the fugitive jeweller.
“My administration stands by its request for Dominica to extradite Choksi directly back to India where he is still a citizen. Instead of subjecting himself to an enquiry as required by law, he used the courts to stay the revocation of his citizenship,” Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Geston Browne told TOI on Tuesday night (IST).
