Statement By Gen. Tommy Franks (Ret.) On Senator Kerry's Speech On Iraq
George W. Bush ^ | September 21, 2004

Posted on 09/21/2004 1:57:42 PM PDT by RWR8189

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."

That is awesome. Gen Franks is a plain spoken, voice of authority. I hope we hear more from him.

Kerry debating Kerry, he's going negative against himself in his debate with his own multiple personalities?

As I said on another thread, I just finished Gen Franks book "American Soldier". Buy it and read it. It's good.

Kerry is already losing the debates to Kerry...

I hope Bush mentions the web site that has the videeo with all of Kerry's positions on Iraq during the debates. That way people can see for themselves. Millions of new hits-- with the added bonus that voters can come back for updates!

"Kerry is already losing the debates to Kerry..."

Ain't it the truth! I've never, ever, seen one man self-immolate on some many seperate occasions.

"...Kerry debating Kerry, he's going negative against himself in his debate with his own multiple personalities?.."

How many of Kerry's personalities are going to be allowed to show up at the debates? Is it fair to allow aonly one???
