This is from "Face the Nation" on September 14, 2003:

Sen. KERRY: I think we need--I think we need to roll back the top end of the Bush tax cut.

McMANUS: If that amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?

Sen. KERRY: I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to--to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible. What is responsible is for the administration to do this properly now. And I am laying out the way in which the administration could unite the American people, could bring other countries to the table, and I think could give the American people a sense that they're on the right track. There's a way to do this properly. But I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job.

Look, we could--we could do this job over a period of time at greater loss, at greater risk, and with much loss around the world with respect to the United States. The question is will we do this the best way possible so that we do the best to protect our troops and the best to advance the safety and security of the United States?

SCHIEFFER: Senator, let me...

Sen. KERRY: My plan will do that.

I'm sorry, I read the topic and it looked like it said "Kerry attacks Kerry"... I was hoping for maybe a barfight or something, than I see nothing but some drivel Kerry said six months ago taken out of context, and posted as news on a rightwing news site.

I want that 2 minutes of my life back. :disgust:

Is that the same 87 billion that he voted for before he voted against it? :confused:

He either supports the troops or he doesn't

As a Senator he supports funding the troops or he doesn't
