Kerry: U.S. deaths justified if on U.N. mission
In 1994, senator said troops die in vain if it's
part of unilateral effort
10-21-04

Ten years ago, Sen. John Kerry said the deaths of U.S.
military personnel are justified if they are engaged in
a United Nations effort, but not if they die while
fighting in a unilateral operation.

The comment was made while discussing the possibility of
U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, the Washington Post
reported today:

"If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations
effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American
troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption
that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally
no."

It's been ten years, he's probably changed his mind a couple hundred times
since then.

Sheesh, give a guy a break!

Is there any way you could possibly misinterpret that any more? You would
have been better off just giving the quote, rather than opening your mouth
about it and revealing how stupid you are.
