Kerry Raps GOP , Bush's Iraq troop surge (radio address)

[cal04]

Sen. John Kerry on Saturday blamed Republicans for squelching Senate debate on the Iraq war and warned that President Bush's plan for more troops in Iraq is a mistake.

"Another 21,000 troops sent into Iraq, with no visible end or strategy, ignores the best advice from our own generals and isn't the best way to keep faith with the courage and commitment of our soldiers," the Massachusetts Democrat said in his party's weekly radio address.

Kerry branded Bush's proposal for additional forces as "nothing more than the escalation of a misguided war."

The veterans who traveled to Capitol Hill this week had the courage to step up and voice their doubts, even as some people attacked them as unpatriotic. It takes a strong heart to stand for something even when it’s unpopular. These veterans remind all of us that patriotism does not belong to those who take the easy road. It belongs to those who defend their country. Sometimes loving your country demands you tell the truth in the face of authority. This is one of those times. Let’s stand with the troops, not just in words but in action.
