Can you grab the exact quote that Kerry made in 1994 regarding this matter?
Interesting. Got a link?
We need a link. I'm posting what Rush just said. He gave the exact quote. It's devastating (for sKerry).
Thank you for that link, ChuckShick.
Here's a quote from the article:
Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, he said, "If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no."
I wish it were devistating. Kerry could molest a child, rob a bank, burn a church and commit a hate crime and the media wouldn't even take notice.
Ka-ka-kaboom!
Help! The Dems' ship is going under thanks to captain sKerry.
If this is correct it validates anyone who said Kerry would place our National Security under UN control even if they don't have our best interest in mind. Now we see what the "global test" is, "global control" of America.
That is sick
This probably doesn't have the legs it appears to at first glance.
It's an exact quote. Both The Weekly Standard and The Washington Post have quoted him from '94.
Bush needs to use this quote on the campaign trail.
People have already heard that Kerry voted for the war but against funding the troops a gazillion times.
If we want to see a Bush victory we will have to get out the Republican vote like never before in our history. A 60 or 65% turnout will not do it. With so much at stake, any registered Republican who is able and doesn't vote isn't worth the space they take up on our planet.
They'd notice, just not report it.
Apparently my opponent believes that the oath of office is to the United Nations. On Jan. 20, 2001, I took an oath to the United States of America. I will repeat that oath to the United States of America on Jan. 20, 2005.
Outstanding. Thanks very much for the link!
Is this the essence of Kerry's Global Test. If the United Nations is NOT involved then there is NO justification for United States military action -- preemptive or otherwise. Only with the United Nations involved would the commitment of United States military forces be justified. Actually, Kerry even violated this "test" when he voted against the commitment of our military in oust Saddam from Kuwait in 1991.
It will only matter to the handful of undecideds, probably. And security moms who are on the fence.
I urge freepers to call your local Republican office and ask what you can do to get the vote out and to combat voter fraud.
I've been volunteering for our Republican Headquarters and have loved it. I meet great people and it helps with my frustration level that "there's nothing we can do."
There is a LOT we can do but not if we're the silent majority.
