Kerry's Voting Record on Defense....

Kerry has voted for at least SEVEN major reductions in Defense and
Military spending, necessary for our national security:


1) In 1996 - Introduced Bill to slash Defense Department Funding by $6.5
Billion.


2) In 1995 - Voted to freeze Defense spending for 7 years, slashing over
$34 billion from Defense.

3) Fiscal 1996 Budget Resolution - Defense Freeze. "Harkin, D-Iowa,
amendment to freeze defense spending for the next seven years and
transfer the $34.8 billion in savings to education and job training."

4) In 1993 - Introduced plan to cut numerous Defense programs, including:

* Cut the number of Navy submarines and their crews
* Reduce the number of light infantry units in the Army down to one
* Reduce tactical fighter wings in the Air Force
* Terminate the Navy's coastal mine-hunting ship program
* Force the retirement of no less than 60,000 members of the Armed
Forces in one year.

5) Has voted repeatedly to cut Defense spending, including:

* In 1993, voted against increased Defense spending for Military
Pay Raise. Kerry voted to kill an increase in military pay over five years.
* In 1992, voted to cut $6 billion from Defense.
* In 1991, voted to slash over $3 Billion from Defense. Shift money
to social programs.
* In 1991, voted to cut defense spending by 2%
* Voted repeatedly to cut or eliminate funding for B-2 Stealth Bomber
* Voted repeatedly against Missile Defense - Weapons Kerry sought
to phase out were VITAL in Iraq. "[K]erry supported cancellation of a
host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military
might-the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the
world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of
weeks." (Brian C. Mooney, "Taking One Prize, Then A Bigger One," The
Boston Globe, 6/19/03)

* Military hardware he felt we no longer need since the "cold war"
is past. The money would be better spent on "social" programs. These
weapons are now the core of our military might.
o F-16 Fighting Falcons.
o B-1Bs B-2As F-15 And F-16s
o M1 Abrams
o Patriot Missile
o AH-64 Apache Helicopter
o Tomahawk Cruise Missile
o Aegis Air-Defense Cruiser


6) During 1980s Kerry And Michael Dukakis joined forces with liberal
group dedicated to slashing Defense. Kerry sat on the board of "Jobs
With Peace Campaign," which sought to "develop public support for
cutting the defense budget..."("Pentagon Demonstrators Call For
Home-Building, Not Bombs," The Associated Press, 6/3/88)


7) While running for Congress in 1972, Kerry promised to cut Defense
Spending. "On what he'll do if he's elected to Congress," Kerry said he
would 'bring a different kind of message to the president." He said he
would, "Vote against military appropriations." ("Candidate's For
Congress Capture Campus In Andover," Lawrence [MA] Eagle-Tribune, 4/21/72)


"So you can look at all the potential threats of the world, and when you
add the expenditures of all of our allies to the United States of
America, you have to stop and say to yourself, 'What is it that we are
really preparing for in a post-cold-war world?'"
(Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 5/15/96, p. S5061)

Kerry's "cuts" were an offense toward the Military of the United States
and show his incompetence in supporting the defense of this country.
Iraq was definitely a defensive move to keep the Terriorist Muderers at
bay in their own enviornment.

What was the connection between Iraq and terror? The war has created more
terror. Rand Beers the top National Security Council official in the war on
terror resigned in March 2003 stating looming war with Iraq was hurting the
fight against terrorism.

The Aluminium Tube Story was a myth there were no terrorist camps in the
Saddam controlled part of Iraq. The American economy has had terror slapped
on it by unnecessary expenditures.

Yes, that _would_ be a dilemma, wouldn't it?
Anyhow, as I see it now, sooner or later an international peace force will
have to step in. I think it would be much better if Arab states took over.

I'll have to look at these sources, Sinclair. I do, of course,
know about Agent Orange, and the research is also no surprise, but
I haven't heard of germ-filled bomblets or the use of POWs as

No Baba I was not arguing that premis. I was arguing that throughout history
countries have done barbaric things in the name of 'the regime'. Sinclair
listed the crimes the USA has perpetuated. I stated that if he wishes to
look at barbaric behavior around the world. Britain has a lot to answer for.

You link G.W.Bush in peculiar company there Baba. What America has tried to
do will be written in the sands of time and, no doubt, historians will still
argue over it hundreds of years later.

As Stalin said, I probably misquote him, " One man's death is a tragedy. A
million deaths are a statistic.

When you link Bush, or any other American president, with Stalin, Saddam or
Pol Pot you have blown it.

It probably will _never_ be found--the coverup potential on all sides is too
easy. It is then futile to keep debating whether it was a pre-emtive war.
It has begun and is a really big mess--now it is time to do proceed to some
decent end. I don't believe we will be able to train the Iraqis
sufficiently, so at some point we will have to do the best we can to reach
the best point we can, and move on out. THEN the real job of them taking
over will begin. Insha'Allah, they will succeed somehow, someway... The
problem is theirs, as it always has been. At least "maybe" there is a
better chance they will reach some satisfactory level from which to begin.

More than 3,000 have been killed on British street by the IRA and what did

Don't know where you intend to run with this either Baba. There are many
Americans who value democracy and freedom etc but of their own
interpretation. I can certainly, as you can, call any country I like. Why
however pound away at it?

To me the that people are responsible for their government and their
governments actions don't wash. It is correct that they govern in 'our name'
but, apart from elections, there is not a lot we can do about it.

Why should I tell a Spaniard how to vote or what is wrong with his country?

Saddam paid money, ($25,000) to the families of suicide bombers in
Palestine. Al-Quida met with Saddamk's Secret Police chief. Iraq was a
great resource for WMD when the sanctions were lifted, as France,
Russia, and others hoped. Go on all you like, but you can't make
arguements from bumpersticker one-liners, and that's all you people
have.

It's pretty hard to see someone as a friend when he accuses you
personally of committing atrocities. He persists in saying "You" have
done all these things. That is not the attitude of a friend.

Explain Rodney King to me. And why it is double jeopardy. You are all
fucked up on that one. Tell me where in the Patriot Act I've lost
rights.
The prisoners in Gitmo could rot there for all I care. If you're so
concerned, why don't you go there and dab their foreheard with a
dampened flannel?
Only Congress declare war? They did, when they authorized the 'use of
force' against Iraq.

Yes, let's speculate. After 9/11 I want to speculate all the way to

first. If you don't like it, why not figure out where it is, and go be a
human barrier, or whatever they call themselves.

Most Communists in the USA were loyal, law-abiding, citizens who

No, he did not. Party membership was devastated on release of
Khruschev's speech. McCarthy did extensive harm while doing no good.
Many of us around then are still suffering from his legacy.

If authorizing the use of force and declaring war are the same, then you
are correct. I don't think they are, though. I was only a teen when we
were fighting with Korea. It was referred to as a "police action." I
believe that was because Congress did not declare war. Our sojourn in Nam?
Well, It was called by the sobriquet "war."
I'm afraid Congress would rather not declare war because then we would
have to win at all costs. We no longer have the moxie to do that.


We have the ability, though.
