RAMBO WAS A CHUMP

[bemildred]

NEW YORK--John Kerry has made a career
out of trying to have things both ways. Now it's
catching up with him.

---

Indeed, by March 2003 72 percent of the U.S.
public supported attacking Iraq. Kerry's cynical
calculus, it seemed, had paid off.

Five months after the fall of Baghdad, Bush
asked Congress for $87 billion to finance the
occupation of Iraq. But with 130,000 troops
bogged down by a resistance movement that
was killing at least one soldier a day, the war
had already become unpopular. Only 41
percent of Americans--the number kept
sliding--remained sweet on regime change.
Again wanting to be on the winning side of the
polls, Kerry voted against the appropriation.

Not only did the guys in black pajamas beat us fair and square, we deserved
it. We were wrong. We deserved to lose. Service in the wars against Vietnam
and Iraq are nothing to be proud of. If John Kerry can't admit now what he
knew in 1971, at least he can stop bragging about his medals.

See DU RULES:

"{O}nce the Democratic party officially nominates its candidate for president, then the time for
fighting is over and the negative attacks against candidates must stop. The administrators of this website
do not wish for our message board to be used as a platform to attack and tear down the only progressive
on the planet with any hope of defeating George W. Bush. Constructive criticism and even outright
disappointment with the candidate may be expressed, but partisan negative attacks will not be welcome."

Ths article crosses the line from constructive criticism to outright bashing.
