Daniel McKivergan pounds the drum I've been beating for months: Kerry's ineffable ability to be consistently wrong on the major security and defense issues that have arisen during his time in the Senate. Most disturbing is this excerpt from McKivergan's article:
Kerry sponsored the Comprehensive Nuclear Freeze and Arms Reduction Act of 1985, saying, "It is time that we accept the idea that the Soviet Union is not going to bargain with the United States from a position in which we have grabbed the upper hand through the development of some new technology."
WOW. That statement is amazing for its stupidity and its appeasement. Kerry wanted the US to bargain from a position of weakness, not strength! Grovel, beg, bootlick, appease, but don't develop new technologies that will force your enemy's concessions. And of course, Kerry was proven dead wrong when Reagan forced Gorbachev to sign the INF treaty without giving up SDI. And the Soviet fear of SDI forced the Soviets to overspend on defense, neglect the rest of their economy, and ultimately helped the USSR fail.
In another development, Kerry's press lackey Stephanie Cutler made this amazingly asinine statement: "There was no terrorism in Iraq before we went to war. There is now terrorism there now." As Stephen Hayes shows, only the Kerry campaign seems to believe that, the Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee (which Kerry sits on in the 24% of the time he deigns to do so), the CIA, and the 9-11 Commission all disagree.
