Kerry came out and blasted Bush's speech to the Naval Academy today.
VIETNAM VETERAN JOHN F. KERRY: What it did on the Democratic side seek to do [sic], was set an estimated timetable for success, which will permit the withdrawal of our troops. Everything that we have presented has been presented on the basis of how you succeed. The president today in his speech said, I quote, "America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am commander-in-chief." Well, so long as Jack Reed is a United States Senator and John Kerry is a senator and the rest of us are senators, none of us, no one, has ever suggested or believes that we should run in the face of car bombers or assassins.
But here's Kerry himself, Georgetown University, on October 26th of this year:
"The completion of the December elections, at the completion of the December elections we can start the process of reducing our forces by withdrawing 20,000 troops over the course of the holidays. It will be hard for this administration, but it is essential to acknowledge that the insurgency will not be defeated unless our troop levels are drawn down, starting immediately after successful elections in December. That timetable must be real and strict. The goal should be to withdraw the bulk of American combat forces by the end of next year. If this administration does its work correctly, that is achievable."
Later in the same speech: "It is never easy to discuss what's gone wrong while our troops are in constant danger. I know this dilemma firsthand. After serving in war I returned home to offer my own personal voice of dissent. I did so because I believed strongly that we owed it to those risking their lives to speak truth to power. We still do." [In other words, cut and run]
KERRY MONTAGE:
"Left to his own devices, Saddam Hussein will provoke, misjudge, or stumble into a future of more dangerous confrontation with the civilized world."
"Yes, I would have voted for the authority."
"It's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein."
"We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure."
"Those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture don't have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected president of the United States."
DAVID LETTERMAN: If you had been elected to president in 2000 or November of 2000, would we be in Iraq now?
KERRY (whispering): No. [What a coward.]
What about the others:
Barbara Boxer: "What's happening in Iraq is not working. It's a disaster."
John Murtha: "I'm absolutely convinced that we're making no progress at all. We've become the enemy. Eighty percent of the people in Iraq want us out of there."
Russ Feingold, the front page of his website: "I proposed a target time frame from the completion of the military mission in Iraq and suggested December 31, 2006, is the target date for the completion of that withdrawal of American troops in Iraq."
How many of you Fiberals voted for this liar?
