hypocritical... agreed.
but it isn't as if President Bush recommended the Apache be killed, someone in his administration did. if kerry were running against cheney, i could see how this would be a huge deal. since he's not... it is just another run-of-the-mill example of campaign spin (however unfortunate that may be).
but i'm going to stick you on this one...
you criticized me for saying that kerry killed the apache and voted against body armor were true. both are true. what isn't provided is the context in which those actions were taken. underhanded political attacks, but not erroneous as you contended.
even with the real situation of kerry's support of these programs brought to light, i still maintain that he has not provided the support to the intelligence/military necessary to our defense.
