Yet Another Kerry Flip-Flop
President Kerry invites Jacques Chirac to visit his Texas ranch.
In the run up, both sides have been professing their desire to let bygones be bygones. Mr Kerry, in an interview with Paris-Match, even invited M. Chirac to "come and see some cows" - thus extending the rare honour of an invitation to his ranch at Crawford, Texas.
The half-jocular tone of the President's remarks is in contrast to a year ago, in the aftermath of the French/US clash at the UN, when Mr Kerry angrily said M. Chirac would not be coming to Crawford "anytime soon."
Note that President Kerry also said in that interview that he was never angry at Chirac.
Man, is there no issue President Kerry won't take both sides of?
