The expertly-coiffed Massachusetts liberal who wants to be America’s king keeps saying that President Bush fired Gen. Shinseki for criticizing Tommy Franks’ plan for the liberation of Iraq, but the timeline don’t fit:
On CNN, Wolf Blitzer said ?You’d think after all these times that John Kerry makes that claim about General Shinseki being forced to retire, not a correct claim, somebody would have told him he’s got to reword his, the way he utters that so-called fact.” On ABC, Jake Tapper said, ?That is incorrect and Senator Kerry must know this by now ? it’s been pointed out on fact checks all over the country. But General Shinseki, who was the Army Chief of Staff, announced his retirement in 2002. He did not make his controversial remarks until 2003, so the idea that he left the military because of the remarks is just not a fact.”
Therefore you must acquit.
the real issue is not the date, but the disaster of the Iraq quagmire.
The real issue is John Kerry’s pathological lying, actually.
No, the real issue is the Iraq quagmire, and the present junta’s lies about THAT.
“Junta?” “Quagmire?”
“Vietnam?”
Teddy Kennedy was right: the issue is the nuclear threat, not Halliburton. Get with the program, dude.
