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."

Kerry actually cited Gen. Franks in his diatribe today but I missed exactly what he said. I wish I knew.

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.

Oh--you heard it. I just posted I heard Kerry say Franks' name but missed what he said. Can you fill us in? Thanks!

Women voters: Bush "should be at 55%"
Kerry...

Does that mean 55% of voting women will vote for Bush? How does that compare to voting men? I'd suspect it is very close to the same.

Too bad the dying media will only report the pearls of war wisdom that drop from the slack jaws of Field Marshals Hagel, Lugar and McCain, who are presently bivouaced in the green room of Meet The Press.

Who can tell who was the last straw. It is out on a popular Net set and everyone is emailing it.

I just wanted to give you a heads up since you took that time to construct that nice email to make a point and now Page Cannot Be Displayed will be seen.
