Amos, are you actually going to deny that Kerry is pro-Iraq war? Pro war on terror? Where are you getting your information from Amos? Pinocchio? You sure are one duplicitous, talk out of two sides of yer yap trap hypocrite. You are against Bush because he is a war mongerer, but for Kerry even though he is every bit the hawk that Bush is?

Here is Reuters summation of Kerry's position

Or maybe we should have a look at the way the major peace and anti-war organizations are summing up Kerry's positions on war and militarism, shall we?

Here is what the Buddhist Peace Fellowship has to say about your man Kerry:

"Supported decision to go to war...On Middle East: Sees the Bush Administration's road map as an acceptable approach for reinvigorating the peace process"

How about the War Resisters League? They're throwing a little anti-war rally on November 3rd, and here is what they have to say about your war boy toy Amos:

"All the promises, rhetoric and window dressing aside, the real story of the Bush/Kerry race is that neither candidate has listened to the millions of Americans who say:

Bring the Troops Home Now

End the War in Iraq and Afghanistan

The terror of missiles, bombs and occupation
will only create more terrorists. "

Or how about the anti-war organizations? Here is a little excerpt from anti-war.com (a group involved in organizing against the Iraq war):

"John Kerry will make his adoring anti-war groupies look like fools

Of course many people support John Kerry for the next president of the United States for a variety of reasons - he is credible when he promises to cut the Federal deficit, for example. But to support him in the hope that he would make American military policy more doveish is absurd. All the evidence is that he will do the exact opposite.

He has declared that he wants to increase the US Army by two divisions, more than the total of Continental Europe's intervention troops. That too is a credible promise, in part because Iraq has exposed an acute shortage of ground forces and an excess of navy and air force personnel. But beyond any specific policy positions, there is Kerry, the very combative man."

Sorry Amos, but your 60s warrior turned peacenik has reverted to warrior mode, BIG TIME.

But then, you were only being disingenuous when you said you couldn't vote for a hawk, right?
