Help of Allies Among Three Key Themes (washingtonpost.com):
"Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, he said, 'If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no.'"I believe that this quote is very self explanitory. It's obvious that this is the way John Kerry thinks and that his "Global Test" comment wasn't just a slip of the tongue.
But I want you to notice a part of the quote that has been passed over by most pundits. Quote "some false presumption that we can affect the outcome". Do you see the inherent distrust of the military to solve anything? This sounds like the Kerry of 30 years ago(Vietnam) when anything military was evil and wicked. And I guess he's right war hasn't solved anything....unless you count Slavery, Socialism, Nazism, or Totalitarianism. This man truly is clueless when it comes to the Foreign Policy of this country. I wouldn't trust this man to run a multinational Bubble Gum Convention.
