Reply #9: That was then, this is now!

[JanusAscending]

You realize that if more troops were sent in then, and if Kerry had been running things then, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now! You made it sound like this was his position in the "present tense"!! You are completely wrong in this assertion. Kerry has been saying since then, it's too late for additional troops, that the war can't be won militarily, and that we should have been withdrawing our troops LONG before now !! He knew then that the commanders were asking for more troops, but Rummy wasn't going along, and that shrub was full of shit! Please don't make statements that you consider "FACT" without the ability to back it up. Too many "misquotes" are perhaps the reason that we have a "pResident" in the WH now!!
