Not really. The headline is just the opposite (the plan is to remove troops), but it may as well read that way, for all the substance and integrity John Kerry brings to anything he has to offer America. He’d “attack” the plan no matter what it was. Whatever President Bush wants to do, Kerry would do the contrary.
For example, if Bush suddenly favored skin color preferences, the Kerry sound bite you’d hear is,”How outrageous! Race discrimination is anathema to our Constitution. Speaking of the Constitution, I fought in Vietnam under Old Glory to secure the rights of all Americans. I won three Purple Hearts, and my crewmates and I…”
If Bush concluded that government schools needed a few billion more tax dollars and that he was dismantling his school accountability law, No Child Left Behind, Kerry would cry, “How outrageous! While Bush lounges at Kennebunkport, your hard-earned dollars are being wasted in a decaying public school system. Speaking of decay, I know all about decay. I fought in Vietnam under Old Glory to secure the rights of all Americans. I won three Purple Hearts, and my crewmates and I…”
For this week at least, he opposes Bush’s plan to withdraw 70,000 American troops from Europe and Asia. Why? According to the article, the plan will send “the wrong message to countries like North Korea, where the United States has been working to deter Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programs.”
He will enlighten the Veterans of Foreign Wars at a convention in Ohio. Bush announced his plan to the same group on Monday. John Kerry is a screeching squirrel. That’s all the time (and maturity) I need to “analyze” his opinions.
