He was a company grade officer. That alone doesn't make him
qualified.
What is
his political record? Why does he slam Bush instead of telling us
about
his OWN
glowing achievemnts?

Why is he unqualified to defend the US?

Show me where I said kerry is unqualified.

So is Mr Kerry qualified or not? Doesn't mean your going to vote for him,
just is he qualified to be CINC?

Give you a hint, Gen Franks says he is even if he is going to vote for
bush.

So you can't back up your assertion I said kerry is unqualified?

Where did I say that you said kerry is unqualified?

And why are you so afraid to go on record and say if Kerry is qualified or
not" Shrub has certainly shown over the last 4 years he is unqualified.
I'm not afraid to say Shrub is unqualified. He has committed numerous
firing offenses for a president. Lets replace him and his team with someone
else.

Look above and see where you wrote "Why is he unqualified to defend the US?"
which implies I said he was unqualified.

Actually, Bush has shown that he is qualified. Kerry is an unknown to some
degree. As a Senator he opposed adequately defending the US.



He has committed numerous firing offenses for a president.


Such as?



Lets replace him and his team with someone else.


On defense matters the Bush team has done an excellent job. It's his
domestic agenda that is troublesome.

Find me a vote where it was his vote that was critical.

Such as?

Invading Iraq not only needlessly but diverting assets away from are real
enemy al-queda.

Not being prepared for the occupation of Iraq. These guys have been
planning this since 1998.

Tora Bora: Using Afghan troops. You think maybe someone who had been to
Vietnam might have known better?

Invading Afghanistan was done very well. The iraq diversion was were he fell
apart.

It's his
domestic agenda that is troublesome.

Irrelevant.

There was no needless invasion of Iraq, the war on terror was never limited
to al Queda.



Not being prepared for the occupation of Iraq.


Not everything in war goes according to plan.



These guys have been planning this since 1998.


Bush has been president since only 2001.

Iraq was not a diversion and nothing has fallen apart.

No wmd and no constructive links to al-queda. For that matter they can't
even show any terror attack was planned by Iraq agasinst the US.





Not being prepared for the occupation of Iraq.

Lame excuse


They've wanted this war since 1998, they've had contol since 2001, they
didn't plan ahead




These guys have been planning this since 1998.


Bush has been president since only 2001.

No, it's that it's irrelevant. A vote against is a vote against whether or
not it's a deciding vote.

At the time of the invasion every nation with intelligence capability agreed
that Iraq had WMD. Even those that opposed the invasion. Had there been no
invasion the world would still believe Iraq had WMD.
