>>Retired Gen. Tommy Franks launched a four-state campaign swing for President Bush by criticizing Sen. John Kerry's anti-Vietnam War activities and voting record on the military.

Franks, former commander of forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, faulted Kerry's votes on major weapons systems and intelligence issues, and against the 1991 Gulf War.

"If his voting record ruled the day, Saddam Hussein would not only be running Iraq but Kuwait," Franks told about 200 people Sunday at a Reno rally.

"The choice is very, very clear. We need decisive, strong, no-backing-down and no-equivocating leadership," he said.

Franks praised the Democratic challenger's military service during the Vietnam War, but said Kerry's later anti-war activities upset him.

"The men I served with in Vietnam weren't war criminals and I'm proud I served with them," Franks said.<<

Kerry spokesman accused him of reading Karl Rove's talking points.

"Kerry never branded any U.S. troops in Vietnam as war criminals, Smith added." This guy drank a gallon of kool-aide.

Kerry and camp sure are going all out to insult people and make fun of them.... I heard on tv today (had to be tv.... unless my dogs told me) that someone (female) at the - get this- church service Kerry was at today made them all laugh by imitating (her version) of W's 'swagger' - I'm waiting to see that rementioned - replayed on CNN and Msnbc.... got my tape ready to roll.... I 've also heard kerry imitating (trying to) W's voice... or was it cheney's? doesn't matter..... aren't they just what you want as an example for your children..... just what you'd want to represent our country?????

And you know, I have never believed that it was because of Bush that people around the world dislike him/us.... it's the nasty mouthed senators, reps, celebrities etc - downgrading us etc..... if they do it, why shouldn't people of other countries???? I've never in all my years heard such nastiness out of the mouths of adult people in high positions.... (high - right)

Gen. Franks did a dynamite interview on Hannity's radio program. He stated that he was told personally by several foreign leaders that Sadaam did have WMDs.

Their strategy is deny, deny, deny. They know most people will not check out what the surrogates say. This morning I heard a woman say that it is not true that Kerry did not sign the release papers, that all his papers have been released and that Bush has not released all of his. Totally wrong but there is a group of people that will believe it on the basis of deny.

The next time they deny that someone should just start reading the testimony Kerry gave. That shouls shut the idiots up.

I was watching Fox news when the Kerry supporter said it. The Fox news guy did not challange her. She said it and he was not prepared or was not allowed to disprove what she said.

Tommy Franks is an integral part of destroying a large part of Kerry's criticism of both wars. Kerry ran his mouth off about the Tora Bora campaign, Franks should clearly state the reasons we used Afghan militia. Also Franks should hammer at the Kerry criticism of the diverting resources away from the OBL search. Finally, Franks should bust him for the criticism given to Bush over the "mission accomplished" thing. Kerry is a distorter of the truth--Franks is widely trusted as an honest soldier with uncommon valor and integrity the American people can relate to.

Kerry & Edwards are rear-view mirror thinkers. They wanted us to have fought a war in Afghanistan in the same manner the Soviets (unsuccessfully) did it.
