Thank you for that link, ChuckShick.
Here's a quote from the article:
Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, he said, "If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no."

If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no." Apart from the U.N. angle, note how, even in Bosnia, Kerry is so utterly drenched in defeatism that he actually believed that the U.S. did not have the military might to "affect the outcome".
The fact of the matter turned out to be that, without the U.S., European U.N. troops found themselves handcuffed to bridges, to lamposts and to each other.
Once the U.S. came in, the outcome of the war in Bosnia was dictated by the U.S.

It's a good thing so many Americans own guns. It's the only protection we are going to have if Kerry is elected.
