An important detail...

In 1995, Kerry had some votes that prove he is willing to risk American Soldiers for the sake of sinking a Republican President.

Here we have a bill that says,

HR 2606: Bosnia Troop Deployment

Vote to pass a bill to prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for the ground deployment of U.S. forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of any peacekeeping operation or implementation force, unless funds for such deployment have been specifically appropriated by a law enacted after the date of enactment of this Act.

Kerry voted 'No', meaning that he gave a blank check to the military to use Department of Defense funds to fund the war in Bosnia. Bosnia, as I've mentioned had a certain company working in it. This company is called Halliburton.

So, on a much smaller scale of troops and involvement, Kerry though it OK for the experts to run the war as they saw fit with all the assets they may need.

When we are in Iraq and he himself complains about troop equipment and supply needs, blames the President for not giving it to them, and talks of how everything is a quagmire, he still votes 'No' to give authority to fund the war effort.

The difference: He will support Clinton (Democrat), but he will let troops be underfunded under a Bush (Republican).

So then a question must be asked: What would you consider to be a bigger threat to American security: Bosnia, or Iraq?

I guess we know where Kerry stands and why.
