| Sen. Kerry Accuses U.S. Troops of 'Terror' |
| Monday, December 05, 2005 |
A full year after losing the presidential election to President George W. Bush, Senator John Kerry still seems to be stuck in duplicitous campaign mode.
Speaking Sunday as a guest on CBS� Face The Nation program, Kerry tried to have it both ways, again, by saying he supports the U.S. troops in Iraq, but accusing them of doing despicable things.
Said Sen. Kerry in response to a question by host Bob Schieffer about the progress of the war in Iraq:
" ... 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."
The remark was eerily reminiscent of Kerry�s comments about U.S. troops in 1971 upon his return from duty in Vietnam.
" � They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."
As reported by NewsMax during the 2004 presidential election, Kerry�s tendency to bash the troops has a long and not-so-proud history.
This, again, from a Senator who "voted for the war, before I voted against it.� |
