Kerry: Shameless Pandering
This is pretty rich, coming from a Senator who has voted against nearly every major military spending bill that ever crossed his desk: Kerry: Bush Shortchanges Troops on Gear.
WASHINGTON - John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting, challenged the Bush administration Saturday to reimburse the families of U.S. troops “who had to buy the body armor” needed for protection in Iraq.
“If I am president, I will be prepared to use military force to protect our security, our people and our vital interests,” the Massachusetts senator said in the Democrats’ weekly radio address.
“But I will never send our troops into harm’s way without enough firepower and support.”
