| John Kerry issued the following statement from Boston, where earlier today he participated in a Veterans Day tribute to America's veterans and active duty armed forces. "I wish President Bush knew better than to dishonor America's veterans by playing the politics of fear and smear on Veterans Day. Instead of trying to salvage his slumping political fortunes, the Commander in Chief should honor our men and women in uniform with a clear strategy for success in Iraq. But this Administration abandoned that path long ago, and our troops have paid the price for it. "This administration misled a nation into war by cherry-picking intelligence and stretching the truth beyond recognition. That's why Scooter Libby has been indicted. That's why a statement in the State of the Union Address was retracted. It's a dangerous day for our national security when an Administration's word is no good. Today they continue the same games hoping Americans forget the mess they made in Iraq that's cost over 2,000 Americans their lives and their failure to find Osama bin Laden. Americans will not forget, and neither will those of us who defend our country by asking tough questions and demanding a new course in Iraq." |

Today is a day when above all we honor the heroism, the sacrifice, and the bravery of our men and women in uniform. We pay tribute to those whose dedication to this nation has taken them far away from their loved ones, and those whose past service has made this country what it is today.
It's deeply regrettable that the President is using Veterans Day as a campaign-like attempt to rebuild his own credibility by tearing down those who seek the truth about the clear manipulation of intelligence in the run up to the Iraq War. Instead of providing open and honest answers about how we will achieve success in Iraq and allow our troops to begin to come home, the President reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never should have fought. Each day, the American people learn more and more about the truth. It's time for the President to restore the trust of the American people in their leaders by coming clean about the war and leading us to a place where we can better protect our citizens and restore our leadership in the world. But, today's speech didn't do that. It only further tarnished this White House and further damaged his presidency.
Nothing for me to say except.. IT'S TYPICAL DEM CRAP.
re: Kerry's quote. I'm almost speechless that one man could continue to be so wrong so often.
This statement is a distillation of the entire skewed worldview of the American left. As long as their leaders continue along this benighted path they will not and shall not regain the majority in this great country.
Senator Kerry, sign Form 180 and put to rest forever any doubt about your own service.
Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary, in turn accused Mr. Kennedy of exploiting the day in his remarks.
"It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veterans Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war," Mr. McClellan said. "It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein."
That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!!!! Link
I cant believe he said that!! Its about time!!!
President Bush's fortunes may be temporarily sinking, however, each day is one day longer that Kerry will ever be commnader in chief. Thank God for that.
PriceLess!!!!!
He knows EXACTLY what he's saying.
Kerry's "Runaway!" strategy is a sure-fire plan for success in Iraq.
It all depends on who you want to be successful.
The Klowns, Kennedy and Kerry...
He should have named more names, he should have had more quotes from individuals.
He should have hung all for comments against the Peace Effort.
Yes, all Democrats (men), pull out too soon.
To Ted... put some non-single malt whiskey (you know, the "cheap" stuff) on it... that should numb the perpetual pain of being a loser.
