Kerry Vs. Strong U.S. Defense

By all accounts, Navy Lt. John Kerry was an admirable and heroic officer as a Mekong Delta riverboat combat commander for four months during the Vietnam War … No one should denigrate that record.

But in selecting a president of the United States, one of the most important attributes for a commander in chief of our armed forces should be his dedication to a strong national defense to maintain the security of the United States and the American people in a challenging world.

In that respect, it is important to examine the record of Sen. Kerry as illustrated by his comments and his votes in Congress.

* For example, he has said: "I'd like to see our troops dispersed throughout the world only at the directive of the United Nations."

* And he has said he'd like "to almost eliminate CIA activity."

* Sen. Kerry supported cancellation of many weapons systems essential to a strong U.S. defense -- the kind that were so effective in quick victories in Bosnia, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. …

But we shudder to think of the potential danger to the United States, the American people and freedom throughout the world if Sen. Kerry's long record of voting to weaken the American military forces and deny them sufficient modern weapons were allowed to express itself with the power of the president as commander in chief of the armed forces of the United States.
