J.D. Hayworth: Who Needs Weapons? It’s good we didn’t listen to Kerry back in ’84."We are continuing a defense buildup that is consuming our resources with weapons systems that we don't need and can't use." — John Kerry in 1984 on the Reagan defense build-up.

***.....In 1986, Libyan terrorists bombed a Berlin disco that killed one American GI and wounded 51. Mr. Reagan ordered an immediate retaliatory air strike. This response apparently angered Mr. Kerry, who said, "It is obvious that our response was not proportional to the disco bombing ... There are numerous other actions we can take, in concert with our allies, to bring significant pressure to bear on countries supporting or harboring terrorists." Sound familiar?

When Mr. Reagan sent Marines into Grenada in 1986, Mr. Kerry described it as "a bully's show of force." When Mr. Reagan was sending aid to anti-Communist forces in Nicaragua, Mr. Kerry called it "haughtiness." He also was one of the signatories in a "Dear Comandante" letter to Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega, asking the murderer to play nice with the United States in defiance of Reagan administration policy. .....***Kerry on Reagan

When Kerry first ran for office (and lost), according to The Crimson, he advocated the abolishment of the CIA because, he said, it was waging its own war in Vietnam.

How did he come by such "knowledge" w/only 3 months service there (actually 2 months since he had 1 month of training in Swiftboating)?
