Reply #110: What a feeble load of evasive, equivocating double-speak [View All]

I must still have a naive bone, because when I saw the headline I hoped for something better.

What noble cause? “This is an artsy question that is hard to answer. However I can tell you that a war based on lies is not noble, but a war based on bringing freedom to people is noble.”

Other posters here have pointed out the ludicrousness of using the phrase "bringing freedom to people" in relation to the Iraq War. That Kerry used the phrase in response to a question about the Iraq War should alert anyone that he is still seeking a way to avoid taking a stance against the continued Occupation and exploitation of Iraq and that he is willing to sacrifice Iraqi civilians as well as US lives to avoid being painted as anti-Iraq war.

How many more lives? “If we can not achieve the goal of bring freedom, I do not want to see any more lives lost in this war.”


Translation: as long as I can say "if" I can avoid a definate stance.

How many lives are you personally willing to risk? “I will say the same thing. If this war will not bring freedom to the Iraqi people I am not willing to personally risk any lives.”

See #2 and note the "if" again.

What are you doing to bring our troops home? “I believe that we are in a critical two month stage right now. The Iraqi people are supposed to have an election in December.”

What about this is any different than the murderous regime's continual "turning the corner" or whatever the catch phrase is? Havn't we heard similar "markers" over and over again from the WH?

And what's this "artsy" question? Can this be an accurate quote? I would have thought Kerry had a better command of the English language.
