Kerry Speaks At VFW Convention In Cincinnati

WCPO.com ^ | August.17,2004 | Lisa Foreman

[John Thornton]

Kerry wants to bring home troops from Iraq needed to fight the war on terror---but leave the troops in Germany to fight a Cold War that ended 13 years ago. What a guy.

[Coop]

a country that really has nuclear weapons?" he said.

Oh yeah?? Says who, Mr. Kerry? The intelligence community? So its assessments are okay when they fit your agenda?

[hflynn]

He also endorsed the Bush policy of preemption in his speech. Amazing! He endorsed Bush's War on Iraq.

[Reagan Man]

Kerry's speech was very clever, but it just reinforced the idea that he's a total phony. It was filled with more of the standard Kerry distortions, fabrications and outright lies. If people look at Kerry's Senate voting record, they will see someone who can't be trusted. How dangerous Kerry would be as POTUS, is anyones guess.

[EggsAckley]

those of us who have fought in foreign wars

He never misses an opportunity, does he? Heheheh.

[Montfort]

And who let NK get those nuclear weaopons? Who reached a phony agreement with North Korea that allowed him to look like the successful diplomat, while the real result was to permit NK to develop nuclear weaopons?

Bill Clinton, with the help of Jimmah.

[DaiHuy]

"a country that really has nuclear weapons?" he said. "

Well maybe, Ketchup Boy, we don't want to lose 12,000 troops in one fell swoop.

[Maria S]

"How dangerous Kerry would be as POTUS, is anyones guess."


As long as he has his "magic hat", don't you think we'd be O.K.?

[OneTimeLurker]

General Schwarzkopf was on Hardball last night and he came out against this plan. I hope he isn't turning Rat. Wouldn't say he was voting for Bush for pres. Said he hadn't made up his mind yet.

[sockmonkey]

I had to turn off the television. John Kerry makes me physically ill-especially after having read Unfit for Command.

[Freemyland]

"Nobody wants to bring troops home more than those of us who have fought in foreign wars," Kerry said in speech prepared for delivery to the Veterans of Foreign War. "But it needs to be done at the right time and in a sensible way. This is not that time or that way."

And therein lies the seed of a later flip flop, for it gives him the opportunity to say he is for bringing those troops home, but he would have done it better or smarter. This "I would have done it smarter" theme is the same as his Iraq position.

[Feckless]

"Nobody wants to bring troops home more than those of us who have fought in foreign wars,"

To paraphrase Richard Pryor: Negro, please. You can't even get your duffle bag unpacked in 4 months.

[hotshu]

Psst..He might have gotten some additional inside information from the folks who helped put those nuclear weapons there - the last two Dem presidents.

[Freemyland]

Well, to be fair, at least he is finally getting around to wanting to fight the Cold War.

[Mike Bates]

[G.Mason]

"Nobody wants to bring troops home more than those of us who have fought in foreign wars,"

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

If this blow hard ever made it to the Whitehouse he would be assigned a desk in the basement by his own party.

No one could last the Chinese water torture coming from this moron.

I would also suggest a military strike on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the apparent originating port of this kind mental malady.

[Let's Roll]

How was this blather received by the VFW audience? Anyone know?

[austingirl]

Excellent point. Keep troops for the defunct Cold War and bring them home from an active war. Kerry is on the wrong side of every issue.

[Phlap]

The problem with Kerry is that he is ANTI anything and everyone republican and especially Bush. Regardless of what is proposed if a republican is the proposer it is bad. He fought RR's winning strategy for the cold war, he didn't vote for the Gulf war and he only voted for the Iraq war because if he had not, he wouldn't be the nominee today.

The man is a schlep of the worst kind.
