This asshole talks like he's been in uniform for 10 years......this prick was in 4 months....

REALLY ONLY 4 MONTHS!

[Petronski]

The backdoor draft of the guard and reservists.

He's going to eat those words.

savingprivatehamster

And if he thinks he's not looked-up-to in the world, he ought to talk to fewer French socialists and more liberated Iraqis and Afghanis.

[burrian]

There's a "backdoor" draft???? Yes, this whole speech is a bit of backdoor draft...

[MplsSteve]

You forgot CNN as well.

They gushed over Tersa's speech on Tuesday night.

They'll do the same here.

So will the print media....Newsweek, NY Times, etc. etc.

[NormsRevenge]

My ma-in-law just got up and went to her room with the newspaper, she is so unimpressed. lol

[HighWheeler]

Use everything in "OUR(?)" arsenal??

Our arsenal would be missing a hell of a lot of things if the decisions were left up to you the last 20 years, pally boy.....

[Lurking in Kansas]

There's a "backdoor" draft????

Yeah, he's all about the "backdoor" business...;-)

[Mo1]

Says We will have a strong Military

HELLO ... WE ALREADY HAVE A STRONG MILITARY

[Jet Jaguar]

John Kerry you say you will add 40000 troops but not in Iraq!

Your gonna ditch me!?

[Carolinamom]

He and his French friends know how to leave the war behind for OTHERS to fight.

He just stole ANOTHER Cheney phrase..Help IS on the way. He lies, kills, steals.....and lives off women. This man is not fit to be president.

[Rebelbase]

Hey John, to win the war on Terror you'll have to offend some people. Who are you going to offend?

[jwalsh07]

The lunacrats don't seem to enthused about Mr Flip Flops 180 degree turn on expanding rather than contracting the military.

GO RALPH GO!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

This speech would have been ten times better if he could have said one-quarter as many things, twice as sincerely.

[SupplySider]

I am a daughter of a Mill worker....I just do not get it..WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH WORKING IN A MILL...IT IS GOOD CLEAN HONEST WORK.

I guess the problem is mill work doesn't pay enough to allow you to feel superior to others based on money. Nevermind that it's more useful to society than ambulance chasing.

[Happygal]

Keep the most dangerous weapons in the world out of the most dangerous hands in the world.

In other words. ''Don't vote an imbecile like ME into office''

[John Lenin]

o In his April 1971 speech to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, John Kerry claimed that war crimes committed by the American military against Vietnamese civilians were "not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis..." War crimes in Vietnam were actually quite rare.

o Kerry claimed that war crimes were being committed "with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command." In fact, military personnel were warned that "if you disobey the rules of engagement, you can be tried and punished." War crimes were never a matter of policy, and were prosecuted when discovered.

o Kerry charged that the war in Vietnam was a racist war, that "blacks provided the highest percentage of casualties." Research published in B.G. Burkett's book "Stolen Valor" and other sources shows that casualty rates for black and white soldiers during Vietnam closely matched the proportion of America's overall population represented by each race.

o Kerry claimed that Vietnam was "ravaged equally by American bombs and search-and-destroy missions as well as by Viet Cong terrorism..." Later in his remarks, Kerry responded to a question about what might happen to the South Vietnamese after our withdrawal with "So what I am saying is that yes, there will be some recrimination but far, far less than the 200,000 a year who are murdered by the United States of America..." Yet according to historian Guenter Lewy in "America in Vietnam," "...the number of civilians killed deliberately by the VC is appallingly high. No counterpart to this death toll caused by communist terror tactics exists on the allied side."

[TomGuy]

His whole war policy isn't much different that what is being done now.

[Of course, 3 months ago, he was completely anti-war when he was facing Dean in the primaries.]

[12 Gauge Mossberg]

KERRY IS FLIP-FLOPPING HIS ASS OFF! He said he'll use force if necessary but at the same time we should build alliances. The guy is just flapping his gums. Conservative talk radio is going to dissect his speech like a frog in science class.

Talking about Nat'l Security. Hey Lurch, why don't you let Sandy Berger speak, HUH?

[wolficatZ]

Anybody keeping account of how many times he says "I"?

 

 

(I) " personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam..."

[arasina]

He has fecal breath.
