Kerry slams Fitzpatrick's shift against Bush

By BRIAN SCHEID
Bucks County Courier Times

In a conference call Friday morning, U.S. Sen. John Kerry called Bucks County Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick’s recent stand against President Bush’s “stay-the-course” policy in Iraq a “short-term political ploy.”

Snip...

On Monday, Fitzpatrick said Bush has been “mistaken in crucial ways vital to the success of our mission” in Iraq and said he would no longer support the president’s “stay-thecourse” policy there.

Snip...

Fitzpatrick said an exit strategy is “a foolish and dangerous idea which would render meaningless the sacrifices young Americans have made in this war and increase the threat of more and worse terrorism here at home.”

Kerry said Fitzpatrick’s idea that an exit date would set a dangerous precedent was a “silly statement.” He said violence has increased in Iraq every day and American presence there was only increasing that violence and emboldening more terrorists.

“Who’s kidding who?” Kerry asked. “Mike Fitzpatrick needs to understand that he’s debating with himself.”
