To me it sounds like he hardly said anything and even what he did say was just little sound bites that don't mean anything.
Oh and and at what point did the Taliban go from being the government of Aghanistan to being terrorists. I really wish we would stop wrapping complex issues up into little phrases we don't have to think about.

I agree with his statement that Hezbollah should be targeted with other terrorist groups like Al Qaida. What are your thoughts?

Originally posted by WheelyHe seemed pretty clear to me. He thinks we should not have gone into Iraq but instead focussed our resources on known terrorist organizations.

Originally posted by slimjimYour failure to understand the complexity of the situation is a poor indication that one who struggles to explain the nuances of a reasonable position has flip-flopped. Kerry is one of very few members of Congress (and the only post-primary Presidential candidate) that has consistently advocated a policy that both accounts for the realities of the architecture of terorism, and that stands firm in defense of the Bill of Rights (which all elected leaders are sworn to uphold).

So far, nothing President Bush has said about our reasons for violating the sovereignty of Iraq has proven true. Hussein has been deposed, but conditions in Iraq have become more likely to produce terrorists than under his regime.
Until you demonstrate that you understand the Bill of Rights (our "freedoms" that are under attack by the current US regime), you can send all the children you want to this irrational war. Your claim that you understand a political situation because your relatives are deployed as cannon fodder only serves to demonstrate the degree of your ignorance.

Originally posted by WulebgrAs an officer in the U.S. Navy John Kerry once swore to an oath. He went to war and returned home. He decided he was against the war that he had just returned from and, without resigning his commission in the U.S. Navy, he traveled to Paris and met with the enemy of the same Navy whose commission he had not resigned. Or so I recall...

Originally posted by WulebgrWell, I don't know who Corsi is but I do remember Kerry's 1970s anti-war activities quite well. Of course he had every right to protest as a civilian, but perhaps not while still a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy.
