Old Crimson Interview Reveals A More Radical John Kerry The Crimson reported Kerry called for U.N. control of troops in 1970.
Ten months after returning home from Vietnam, a young John Kerry strolled into the offices of The Harvard Crimson on Feb. 13, 1970 as an obscure underdog in the Democratic Congressional primary. The decorated veteran, honorably discharged after a tour of duty in the Mekong Delta, spoke in fierce terms during his daylong interview with The Crimsons Samuel Z. Goldhaber 72.
But almost 34 years later, Kerrys remarks on American military and intelligence operations vastly diverge from opinions expressed by the present-day Sen. John F. Kerry, D.-Mass., the leading candidate in the Democratic primary for president.
Im an internationalist, Kerry told The Crimson in 1970. Id like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.
Kerry said he wanted to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care.

The guy has no truth. He will say anything to get elected.
Today before the VFW he said he wouldn't allow the UN to send our troops.
The guy wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him; he has told so many versions and so many lies that he doesn't even know what the real truth is.
Now, after recounting the same story nearly 50 times in the last 30 years, he claims amnesia or CIA secrecy or misunderstanding of the Christmas in Cambodia.
Even Rassmann has two or three version of his own story about being resued by Kerry.
These guys keep throwing out a version to see whether it will stick.

"As a candidate for president, Kerry has said he supports the autonomy of the U.S. military and has never called for a scale-back of CIA operations." I do believe his call for a massive reduction in intelligence funding makes this a lie.

I wonder what Kerry thinks about our troops being directed by the new Iraq government.

This is the way he is going to protect us? United Nations
will not protect the United States..only we will do the job
and anyone who has watched the chaos in the world knows we
are the only leader in the world..not the UN. Kerry is
a nitwit who lives four months at a time...He is the direct
opposite to President Bush who will lead and follow through
on his oath to protect all of us. Jake

With all due respect, this is hardly Breaking News material. This came out in February.
I do wonder what JFK has to say about this now.

I found no posting on FR concerning the title. And in light of Kerry ripping W concerning his troop reduction plan I think it is relevant.
