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."

Right now on Fox News:
Women voters:
Bush "should be at 55%"
Kerry
They are saying Bush has just slipped ahead of Kerry.
They are referring to "Security Moms" as a big block who favor Bush on terorism, war,...

Actually, Gore started acting a little postal during the second debate, which he resoundingly lost. Didn't stop the idiots from voting for him though.

Because JeffnK took General Franks name in vain today, he should have expected to get trounced. General Franks is not a "fake" soldier, or a coward.
American Soldier ping and a Tommy Franks bump!

I trust General Franks with my life and that of my kid. I wouldn't trust Kerry with a gold fish.

In related news: the National Commission on Presidential Elections has announced that on Sept 25th at 5:00 PM Senator Kerry will be appearing in a live televised debate with...
Senator Kerry.
The winner will move on to the elimination round where he will face President Bush in a best of three final series. [The challenger series has, however, reserved the right to call up the loser of the Kerry-Kerry debate for rounds 2 & 3 of the finals if a 'closer' is needed.]

Gen Franks speaks the truth about Kerry doing major damage to the troops morale and to those countries who support and help us out in this difficult time. Every time Kerry speaks he gives the other countries who might have helped us out a reason not to participate. Who's side is that blathering idiot on...France?

Kerry's remarks will most likely prompt the goons to redouble their efforts between now and election day. Stuff like this doesn't bother Mr Kerry. Americans have suffered and died because of his loose tongue, before.

"I have one position on Iraq
Position #1The world is more dangerous now then before Saddam was removed
Position #2
those who believe the world was safer with Saddam Hussein in power 'don't have the judgment to be president.'
WHICH POSITION IS HIS ONE POSITION ON IRAQ
Comparing the two positions, I wonder it Kerry thinks that he has the judgment to be president?

Kerry has "Rathered" his position on Iraq...just like he "Rathered" his Vietnam war record.
Pardon me, I'd rather Bush remain POTUSA.

Oooh! That one's gonna' leave a mark. Between Kerry's past remarks on Iraq, rathergate, and the Swiftees, he is in for a very long six weeks up to the election. He will be nothing but a skeleton with hair by the time this is over.
