BUSH AD TWISTS KERRY'S WORDS ON IRAQ
Selective use of Kerry's own words makes him look inconsistent on
Iraq. A closer look gives a different picture.
This ad is the most egregious example so far in the 2004 campaign of
using edited quotes in a way that changes their meaning and misleads
voters.
Ad: Kerry: "Right Decision"
Kerry is shown saying it was "the right decision to disarm Saddam
Hussein." What's left out is that he prefaced that by saying Bush
should have made greater use of diplomacy to accomplish that.
Ad: Kerry: "Winning of the war was brilliant"
When Kerry said "the winning of the war was brilliant" he wasn't
praising Bush for waging the war, he was praising the military for the
way they accomplished the mission. He also repeated his criticism of
Bush for failing to better plan for what came next.
Ad: Kerry: "Wrong war, wrong place"
When Kerry called Iraq "the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the
wrong time" he was once again criticizing Bush for failing to get more
international support before invading Iraq. He criticized Bush for
what he called a "phony coalition" of allies:
Kerry (Sept 6, 2004): You've got about 500 troops here, 500 troops
there, and it's American troops that are 90 percent of the combat
casualties, and it's American taxpayers that are paying 90 percent of
the cost of the war . . . It's the wrong war, in the wrong place at
the wrong time.
Ad: Kerry: "we may yet even find weapons of mass destruction"
If we had done this with a sufficient number of troops, if we had done
this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table,
we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner. We might have had less
loss of life. We would be in a stronger position today with respect to
what we're doing.
Look, again, I repeat, Chris, I have always said we may yet even find
weapons of mass destruction. I don't know the answer to that. We will
still have to do the job of rebuilding Iraq and resolving the problem
between Shias and Sunnis and Kurds. There are still difficult steps
ahead of us.
The question that Americans want to know is, what is the best way to
proceed? Not what is the most lonely and single-track ideological way
to proceed. I believe the best way to proceed is to bring other
countries to the table, get some of our troops out of the target,
begin to share the burden.
Ad: Kerry: I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I
voted against it.
The final quote is the one in which the Bush ad takes its best shot.
Kerry not only said it, he did it. He voted for an alternative
resolution that would have approved $87 billion in emergency funds for
troops and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it was
conditioned on repealing much of Bush's tax cuts, and it failed 57-42.
On the key, up-or-down vote on the $87 billion itself Kerry was only
one of 12 senators in opposition, along with the man who later become
his running mate, Sen. John Edwards.

It's posting to:
rec.woodworking
alt.home.repair
alt.support.diet.low-carb
alt.fan.howard-stern.*
rec.sport.golf

I don't see any replies from FP in any of them. Just a troll.
