In a symbolically charged speech, US Senator John F. Kerry plans to declare today that Iraq war critics are patriots unfairly tarred by the Bush administration as disloyal.
The speech comes on the 35th anniversary of Kerry's antiwar testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in which he famously asked, ''How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
Kerry's 11 a.m. speech at Faneuil Hall is billed by his aides as a major address on patriotism, dissent, and Iraq.
In an op-ed piece in today's Globe, which aides say mirrors the themes of his speech, Kerry writes that: ''Thirty-five years later, in another war gone off course, I see history repeating itself."
''Again, we must refuse to sit quietly and watch our troops sacrificed for a policy that isn't working while Americans who dissent and ask tough questions are branded unpatriotic," writes Kerry.

Oh yes, they are patriots. Traitor patriots.
Where's the Barf Alert?
I saw a thread yesterday where this sick scumbag Kerry said he's "thinking about" running for president again. Could it be true?
Its got Kerry's name in the title, isn't that enough of a barf alert already?
It's the same traitorous speech he made 35 years ago. Only the names have changed. Amen.
reporting for duty!
It is clear that he is trying to inoculate himself against renewed attacks by the Swift Boat Vets by simply assuming his version of history: Their attacks hurt our democracy more than they hurt me.
From time to time one can hear pundits in the mainstream media rehearse the same ruse. They simply assume that the Swift Boat Vets lied and that therefore their criticism of Kerry should be dismissed out of hand. Unless I misjudge our men, the Swift boat vets will reenter the fray with all the vigor and ardor they demonstrated in the last election. Godspeed to them and I hope they find some allies who will force the mainstream media to at least tip their hats to the truth the Vets have brought to us.
John F'n should mount a jackass and ride off into the sunset.
Run John F'n Run!
You've got a point!
I guess Kerry got permission from Teresa to run again.
Who the hell is John Kerry? Never heard of him.
I keep wondering who has the worst timing in politics?
Gore or Kerry
Each one is always striving to beat each other in this category.

"Where's the Barf Alert?"
The words "John Kerry" are in the headline. Do you need more?
"I am a GREAT Patriot!"

Another accomplishment is that he appeared on the television show "Cheers". I can't think of any other notable things that he has done.
