ARLINGTON, VA – Gen. Tommy Franks (Ret.) today issued the following statement on Senator Kerry's speech today on Iraq:
"Senator Kerry's contradictions on Iraq are the wrong signal to send to our troops on the ground, to our coalition partners, to the Iraqi people and to the terrorists seeking our destruction. On the eve of Prime Minister Allawi's visit to the United States, Senator Kerry today said that America and the world are 'less secure' now that Saddam Hussein is out of power.
"The American people disagree and last December, so did Senator Kerry. At the time he said that those who believe the world was safer with Saddam Hussein in power 'don't have the judgment to be president.' I agree."

Now if EVERY MSM and CABLE outlet on the planet would release that statement as NEWS, which it is, I would be happy.
Don't hold your breath.

Sorry, I couldn't catch it either. It was in there somewhere about talking to the soldiers, then a hesitation, (read lie) with a quickly added, "on the rope-line."
I couldn't follow him, he was not making a whole lot of sense.
