Kerry is Soft On Defense, Even For The New York Times
"When U.S. military spending was being driven by the agendas of defense contractors and right-wing ideologues, I stood up to oppose their excesses," Mr. Kerry said in a written statement to The New York Times. "But I have always fought to ensure America has the strongest military in the world."
Of course, the Times can't get through the article without reminding us that John Kerry, "returned from the Vietnam War with a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts." As if that excuses everything he's done since.
In 1990 he ran for re-election on the slogan "Once you've seen war, you never stop fighting for peace,"
It's interesting to watch the Times squirm, coming up with lame excuses for Kerry's opposition to defense and military spending. The Times discomfort is obvious though.
