DId I just hear Kerry Right? He Wants more "Benchmarks achieved" in Iraq?

Before we consider a military pullout? Please say I heard it wrong! If not I fear he has blocked the whole Vietnam war experience from his memory! A Deep suppression is going on there... :banghead:

7. I do not know "where of" Kerry comes from...but it's in the PAST..

He somehow STILL BELIVES the Senate is a place for "reasoned discussion" and "debate in a gentlemanly way" the direction of America.

He "Nuances" himself to death...boxes himself in with his "nuance" and therefore neuters himself to those of us crying OUT IN DESPERATION...for A LEADER!!!!!!

:cry:

8. yes and in other words

9. He was the person I cast my first vote for in 1982

His time has come and gone.

:cry:

edited to add: It was for Lt. Gov. not senator.

10. I listened carefully to him all day on the cable news shows and I

have to tell you, he sounded like a damned fool. He should stand beside Murtha. After all, there are ENOUGH benchmarks now. Do we really have to hit 56,000 before ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!?!?!

Murtha says pull back to Kuwait, not cut and run. Kerry is an ass. A complete ass. Go home, John. You're playing politics with lives.

11. In his discussion with Matthews he keep referring back to "Generals have

said..and others I've talked with have said and this is why, Chris, I'm saying...." Blah, Blah, Blah.

I kept waiting for Kerry to BREAK AWAY to say "CHRIS! Generals and others like me who SERVED IN A WAR...are saying it's time to Pull Out and find a way to leave enough troops there to be "supportive and not Pre-Emptive." But...at every opportunity Tweety gave him...he always caveated his reply based on what "others have said" and not WHAT HE (John Kerry) really BELIEVES, is willing to SAY OR THINKS!

It was so depressing.....Why can't he just SAY IT...but I think he doesn't really believe YET that Iraq Invasion was an American Foreign Policy Disaster. Until he believes that...in his heart..this is what we will get from him. :-(

I don't know what it will take to convince him...but I don't care anymore, really.

12. thank you rv

it is a good thing to know someone else heard the same thing as I did. He is playing politics with lives. Like I said, he seems to have suppressed all of the relevant Vietnam memories from his brain.
