How dare he attempt to advise a Nobel Prize winner...
Kerrey wasn’t as bad as Clinton would have been, I think. We might have been better off if he had won the Demo nomination in ‘92.
Knock me over with a feather.
Evidently Bob Kerry didn’t get the memo - you don’t advise the One on military matters....or on any matter......unless it fits in with the Obomunist Agenda....and this advice doesn’t. He’ll learn soon enough.
As the respected Sherlock Holmes said about one detective he dealt with, Bob Kerry has always been the pick of a bad lot. I think he does have some integrity and no one can accuse him of disloyalty. There is no doubt that we would have done better with him rather than Slickmeister!
I guess he can call them at times.
I am going to copy /paste this article to every lib I can find

Instead we are being asked to withdraw by American leaders who begin their analysis with the presumption that victory is not possible. They seem to want to ensure defeat by leaving at the very moment when our military leader on the ground has laid out a coherent and compelling strategy for victory.
The first rats are beginning to document words that distance them from their lightworker. Just in case.
It's funny, since they last got away with it in Vietnam, no matter what the polls show, those with most at stake with the voters seem to end up voting for victory. They may not talk like that all the time, but most politicians have figured out that deep down the American people don't like to lose wars.

Thank you for your correction and analysis!
. . . And thank you President Bush for your courage and vision — you are missed!
Am I to suppose that the Vietcong WERE popular and had lots of support in South Vietnam and Cambodia, aside from what they secured through terror?
This doesn’t accord with the history I’ve read, especially for the period of time after Tet.
Yeah. I'm no expert on the subject. But I also suspect we had that war won, and allowed a traitor ridden Congress to piss of the victory.
The North Vietnamese threw everything they had into three major offensives: '68, '72 (IIRC) and '75.
They got badly beaten the first two times, and only succeeded on the third occasion because by then the American Congress had cut off nearly all aid, and fatally weakened morale by otherwise undermining and deligitimizing the South Vietnamese government and armed forces at every opportunity.
Of course this will never be widely admitted until long after the last morsel of flesh from the last 60's "New Left" radical has been expelled from the south end of a north bound worm.
Americans don't want to lose this war and they don't want our brave troops killed while the pseudo-Commander in Chief "dithers."
I have to disagree with Sen. Kerrey on this.
Obama does not know how to decide anything.
He only knows how to read what is put up on the teleprompter for him to read.
Obama is but a puppet with we don't don't know who all behind him pulling his strings.
“It’s a sad state of affairs when Saturday Night Live gets more attention from the media when it comes to criticizing Obama on the war than someone with Bob Kerrey’s qualifications.”
As Mrs. RQSR has said in the past, the MSM is so up Obama’s tail-end, they’ll never report such critiques as that of the likes of Bob Kerrey, and what strikes me about that is how their adulation, their protectionism if you will of this President is actually undermining his Presidency.
I love it.
I have to wonder if Kerrey had the same love from the media an Hollywood elites as Clinton did. Perhaps he would have been less electable Though a second Bush/Quayle term would probably have meant Republicans would never have taken a majority in Congress.
If Kerrey had been elected though I think he would not have weakened our defenses as much as Clinton did
