'Cheap and shameful'
What to make of the latest from John Kerry? The junior senator is surely right that it's 'cheap and shameful' to accuse retired generals of treason and laying the groundwork for a future coup when all they're doing is exercising their 1st Amendment rights. But Kerry is still milking Vietnam for all it's worth -- and actually thinks his anti-war testimony at a Senate hearing 35 years ago is somehow historic and worthy of commemoration. Incredible. ... But I'm not going to count the guy out. Kerry has that will-to-power gene that won't let him stop. ... Kerry should try to keep this in mind: Most of the ex-generals now criticizing the administration say we should stick it out in Iraq until the job is done. Junior officers are saying the same thing. Where did Kerry get his magical pull-out date?
