John Kerry on CNN (clarification on Dems' position)
CNN | 11/30/05 | libertarianPA

Posted on 11/30/2005 8:24:09 AM PST by libertarianPA

John Kerry was just giving a counter speech on CNN and clarified the Dems' position on the Iraq war.

He said (not an exact quote, but what he basically said):

All through the president's speech, there were references to some "imaginary deadline" for withdrawl. At no point did we ever propose a deadline for withdrawl. What we asked for was a timetable for success.

Oh! A timetable for success! Well! We have totally misrepresented the Democrat's position!

OK. Let's just pretend nothing ever happened.

When you have been barking about Iraq every month since you LOST the election and you have to go out now and re-explain your position, you are fyucked.

I had to turn on the Weather Channel.  My stomach can't take listening or looking at FnKerry.

The President can't WHIZ straight enough for those idiots on the left.  Sickening!

It's not fair that they always speak in front of the troops. That's my job. After all, I was in Vietnam.

What a putz.

If they're backing off on their call for withdrawal as well as trying to spin this as a timeline for 'success', it means they've received considerable downside pressure because of their stance.

Kerry would never say anything like this without polling data to show the President is starting to have an impact and a rebound in the numbers.

He also mentioned instances where the administration made the "wrong" choice in Iraq, such as not guarding the ammo dumps. This was his way of standing up for the troops and ensuring their success.

Kerry said that Murtha did not call for withdrawal. What does it mean when you specifically say the war is "unwinnable?" Recall the Kerry comment about how do you ask the last man to die for a mistake. A traitor then, a traitor today.

John Kerry was on Jury Duty last week. He found in favor of the Plaintiff against the City of Boston. But would not grant any compensation. So he was for the Plaintiff, before he was against them.

deadline for withdrawl..vs...timetable for success

Sweet Jesus. Thank you for JFK's continued failures. Can't believe he actually said this! I don't care how many multi-syllables he can say - he is an IDIOT whose brains are just mush.

"Timetable for success."

Sounds like the brilliant work of Professor Lackoff (sounds like).

When jean pierre says "We didn't guard the ammo dumps" who does he think was in country at the time? The troops or GWB. Does he think that GWB was running the daily tactics in Iraq? We can all be very grateful the GWB and not jfffffnk is the Commander in Chief. Good grief, can you just imagine.... shudder and arrrggggggggghhhhhhh.

I had to turn it off. I couldn't stomach him and his outright lies any longer.

WTH? Do they really think the American public is so stupid as to not remember LAST WEEK?

What is he doing? He is missing it totally. Some of the most epic powder has been falling in the Rockies and Kerry is talking about a time table for success. Get the board out and ride the fresh pow pow.

LOL! So he continues to try to have it both ways. What an idiot. Let's not waste anymore bandwidth or satellite signal on this guy.

What would any DemonRAT know about success?
