..."He said questioning the war and fighting in it are "two sides of the very same patriotic coin"...
That is utter Bravo Sierra. A proportion of individuals in America have devolved to the extent that "questioning" the "war" is deemed to be "patriotic". However, the questioners are not "questioning" the war, they are giving aid and comfort to our avowed, remorseless enemy, the Salafist Islamists.
Courage is not "questioning" the war, it is supporting the CIC, the military, and the USA in the war effort in the face of withering, personal attacks from the democrat party and other anti-American cabals. Kerry is an uttterly despicable creature who, through a series of lies and deceptions has assumed the mantle of "war hero" and is regarded as such by a certain uninformed segment of our society, by virtue of the treasonous MSM. Who is he to question what the Administration is doing after he voted to go forward?
Way back during the forgotten decade, Kerry actually advocated sending in ground troops to deal with Saddam. It was sometime around the DESERT FOX airstrikes.
