In Arkansas, Kerry Finds Key Word to Be 'Clinton'
2004-05-14
Edited for just the "key" quote:

On Wednesday evening, he stood in the humid Arkansas air on the same airport tarmac where Gov. Clinton held his last rally on election day in 1992, hoping to soak up some of the same magic. It was Kerry's first trip to the state since he effectively secured the Democratic nomination in early March.
"Thank you for being part of a great Democratic Party in the state of Arkansas that gave this country leadership over eight years that put America to work, grew our nation, made us stronger," he told several hundred people who greeted his campaign plane. "When Bill Clinton left office, not one young American in uniform was dying in a war anywhere in this world."
Oh, really?
Khobar Towers - 19 dead
Somalia - 18 dead
USS Cole - 17 dead
Don't they count, Senator Kerry? Or is fighting terrorists not really a war to you? They are still just as dead.

#6  Does he also have, on his campaign staff, a certain portly pepperpot named Monica?

(couldn't resist that one, either)

#2  Hanoi John is an anti-war candidate, don't kid yourself. He will sell out the WOT to the UN to help garner Nader votes. His past actions in 1971 and his voting record confrirm that. Cake on the icing were his nominations DOD to replace Rumsefeld. He is trying the centrist move but his heart is anti-waar left.

#1  This is the man the Democrats want to lead the U. S. military? I guess what he said was technically true. In January of 2001 no American in unifor was dying. It all happened before that and what was the Clinton Administration's response? Diddly.
