Historic agreement signed; Kerry - "no comment"
One more reason to keep this guy away from the White House:
Mr Kerry, why not just have guts to take a position, even if it's a wrong one?
BY THE WAY: Some three weeks ago, with hardly much notice another study of the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement came out, saying that Australia will benefit $6.1 billion a year as a result of the agreement - that's $2.1 more than Australian Government initially forecasted.

"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is refusing to back the US-Australia trade deal....and was likely to keep reviewing it until after the election, when one way or another it will be safer to have a clear opinion.
"As the deal was due to be officially signed overnight, Senator Kerry has opted to avoid any public pronouncements - unwilling to offend the big US unions that oppose the agreement but fearing he would look like a rampant protectionist if he opposed it.
"A spokeswoman for Senator Kerry said yesterday he was 'still reviewing' the agreement."
