How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?
#48651 John Kerry
We feel we have been used in the worst fashion by the administration of this country. ... And we cannot consider ourselves America's best men when we are ashamed of and hated what we were called on to do in Southeast Asia.
#48653 John Kerry
We must recognize that there is no indication thathas any intention of relenting. So we have an obligation of enormous consequence, an obligation to guarantee that Saddam Hussein cannot ignore the United Nations. He cannot be permitted to go unobserved and unimpeded toward his horrific objective of amassing a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.
#48654 John Kerry
If Saddam Hussein is unwilling to bend to the international community's already existing order, then he will have invited enforcement, even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act.
#48655 John Kerry
If you don't believe...Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me.
#48656 John Kerry
I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him.
#48657 John Kerry
I voted to hold Saddam Hussein accountable. I knew we had to hold him accountable. There's never been a doubt about that. But I also know that if we had done this with a sufficient number of troops, if we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner. We might have had less loss of life. We would be in a stronger position today with respect to what we're doing.

We're going to keep pounding. These guys [Bush Administration] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary.
#48659 John Kerry
I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it. …and I brought an amendment to the $87 billion, and we said, `This should be paid for now, not adding to the deficit'…. The president said no; the Republicans voted no.
#48660 John Kerry
America must always be the world's paramount military power, but we can magnify our power through alliances.
#48662 John Kerry
It's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.
#48663 John Kerry
There is some schedule showing what you (need) to do to get Iraqis standing up and defending themselves which is now suddenly beginning to happen, so there are some signs of progress.
#48664 John Kerry
We're here to talk about education. But I want to say something before that....You know, education, if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
#48665 John Kerry
I'm sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did. I'm not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Recently? KERRY: Yes, recently. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How recent? KERRY: That‘s not your business. It‘s mine. Are you a Democrat, a Republican? What are you?

#48668 John Kerry
We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or truth or what's happening.
#48669 John Kerry
Aftersaid it would be naive to go into Pakistan to pursue the terrorists, it took , against the advice of many, to give that order and finally rid this earth of . Ask Osama bin Laden if he is better off now than he was four years ago!
#48670 John Kerry
What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world. It defies any code of morality. Make no mistake, President Obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people.
