In what way was Kerry's quote taken out of context. He accused the troops of terrorising women and children. In what context was that missunderstood. ...


I pointed this out on page one with G-man.

You've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis. And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night,
terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not...Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all of the talk of 210,000 people trained, there just is no excuse for not transferring more of that authority.


What Kerry was speaking about is pretty well documented, I've seen news footage myself of our troops going into homes looking for hiding insurgents. Our troops after being fired upon understandably don't enter these homes under the best circumstances. How do you think a family feels with their home flooded with foriegn armed troops...happy? Kerry is just saying it would be better that it was Iraqis doing that.

Fair play!
