John Kerry is now blaming Rush Limbaugh for what he said earlier this week. If you hadn't heard, it had been reported that John Kerry called American troops "terrorists"... which is a tad far-fetched if you look at the transcript.
You've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis. And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs.

I think Kerry just used the unholy "terrorist" word... and got nailed for it. He didn't CALL american troops terrorists... but he said amercan troops were "terrorizing"... so take it for what its worth
But thats not really what interested me.. its some of his other quotes from the interview.
Asked if he meant to say that American soldiers were guilty of terrorism, Kerry claimed: "Obviously not."
Now... correct me if i'm wrong... but how do you "terrorize" but not be guilty of "terrorism"?... just seems kind of odd
here's another goody:
The one-time top Democrat said that he'd like to see U.S. troops redeployed "in a way that accomplishes the goal but does it without needlessly putting troops at risk and incurring greater difficulties in feeding the insurgency."
Now.. wasn't this the same guy that called for a HUGE pullout of iraq? now he wants to redeploy? who knows.
Asked if Iraqis soldiers wouldn't be "terrorizing" the same homeowners when they take over the searches, Kerry replied: "Hopefully not."
that's right John... HOPEFULLY.. like the united nations HOPEFULLY wouldnt be corrupt? gimme a break!
chances are if you don't like kerry's stances this week.. give it a week, and then check back.
