demand a retraction and an apology.

In a wide-ranging discussion with the Daily News Editorial Board, the Democratic front-runner also suggested Bush dragged out a nuclear nonproliferation agreement with Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy so he could exploit the deal during his reelection campaign.
Kerry (D-Mass.) said he would have sent troops to Haiti even without international support to quell the revolt against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. "President Kerry would never have allowed that to get where it is," Kerry said, though he added he's not "a big Aristide fan."
But he insisted the White House "has empowered the insurgents, and they've done it quite purposely out of their dislike ... for Aristide."
A Kerry administration would have given the rebels a 48-hour ultimatum to come up with a peaceful agreement - "otherwise, we're coming in," he said. "I would intervene with the international community, and absent an international force, I'd do it unilaterally," he said, adding the most important thing was to protect democracy.
