No, you listed 6 statements that are either untrue, misconstrued, taken out of context, or emotionally deriven.
Successful commanders fight a sensitive war by being cognizant of what's happening on the battle field. They don't simply "stay the course" when it's obvious the course isn't working. Binny wouldn't like someone that's sensitive to the battlefield.
Kerry said he'd work with other nations to
replace our troops, (and it was more like 8 months) thus putting more of the burden on our allies. I'm guessing Binny would rather have American targets.
Kerry told Congress during his testimony that he was relating interviews of atrocities by other veterans. He never claimed to witness them first hand. No one can prove that his testimony demoralized the entire nation. However, it can be better argued that his testimony resulted in America pulling its troops from Vietnam and saving the lives of thousands of Americans. It was the current administration's policies and lack of leadership that caused the Armed Forces demoralization during that period. bin Laden doesn't care about that stuff anyway.
Kerry and McCain went as an envoy to reestablish diplomatic relations in order to repatriate MIA remains. You should probably let some of the families whose loved one's remains have been returned how disgusted you are about that. Not to mention the many vets that have since returned as a form of mental therapy and closure. Why have all that when we can simply continue to hate an entire country? :rolleyes: I doubt bin Laden cares about that issue either.
Kerry voted against outdated weapons systems in favor of new ones. He actually voted for some of the largest defesne and intelligence budgets in US history. Cheney voted to slash defense spending more than Kerry. Bush I slashed the intelligence budget. Bouche II has cut funding for veterans. Now that's something Binny is interested in.
So it still looks to me like bin Laden will be casting his vote for Bouche & Co. - if he could.
