Running For Senate In 1984, Kerry Promised Massive Defense Cuts.

“Kerry in 1984 said he would have voted to cancel … the B-1 bomber, B-2 stealth bomber, AH-64 Apache helicopter, Patriot missile, the F-15, F-14A and F-14D jets, the AV-8B Harrier jet, the Aegis air-defense cruiser, and the Trident missile system. He also advocated reductions in many other systems, such as the M1 Abrams tank, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Tomahawk cruise missile, and the F-16 jet.”

(Brian C. Mooney, “Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One,” The Boston Globe, 6/19/03)

Had Kerry's 1984 plan been adopted, we would have had little deterrent with which to win the Cold War and an obsolete Army to fight Gulf War I.

And that POS says he's "reporting for duty."

I suspect the Bushies will be educating the people about this history after Labor Day, when people start focusing on the election.
