Boston Globe: Kerry's Apologist

The Boston Globe editorial page today does its best to defend its hometown Jane Fonda, John Kerry. The whole piece is simply anti-war, pro-Kerry propoganda, but here is one obvious example:

Kerry has said that he may have used a poor choice of words when he cited other veterans' reports of atrocities as being ''in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan." But his basic analysis was sound: Vietnamese and Americans were dying needlessly because the war was a mistake, and US policymakers allowed it to continue even though they were aware that their strategy for victory was failing.

Kerry's basic analysis was not accurate and it was not just a "poor choice of words:" Kerry accused his colleagues of war crimes while we were still at war. It was not that "Americans were needlessly dying."

His statements are similar to someone today telling the Arab world that we torture and kill all our prisoners, which puts Americans in great danger if they are captured....wait, according to the media, that's patriotic. Never mind; I guess John Kerry was really patriotic.
