No
one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our
nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't
serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats
who did. John Kerry
President
Clinton was often known as the first black President. I wouldn't
be upset if I could earn the right to be the second. John Kerry

told me the other day that the Secret Service has orders that
if George Bush is shot, they're to shoot Quayle There isn't
any press here, is there? John Kerry
There
are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes,
yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of
other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings
in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction
fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted
and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people.
I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of
villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all
of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this
is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the
government of the United States from the top down. John Kerry On Vietnam, April 18, 1971

around in circles and ended right back where they'd started. John Kerry

were wrong and soldiers lost their lives because they were wrong.

adequate military intelligence. John Kerry
This
President [George W. Bush] has created an economy that feeds
the special interests and powerful, and corporate power, and
he has not helped the American worker advance their cause and
I will. John Kerry
This
President rushed to war against the advice of many in this country.
He clearly didn't plan for the peace. And it's extraordinary,
it's an act of negligence of remarkable proportions. John Kerry On George W. Bush decision to go to War in
Iraq
