I didn't know Kerry was also a soldier in Afghanistan!

He apparently understands the situation in Afghanistan better than General Tommy Franks, which means that since Gen. Franks was there, then Kerry must have been there, too! Wow! You'd think Kerry would have pointed to that service instead of his service 35 years ago.

What am I talking about? According to Reuters:

---------->
The former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan on Tuesday disputed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's charge that the Bush administration let Osama bin Laden escape Afghanistan in 2001.

"I was responsible for the operation at Tora Bora, and I can tell you that the senator's understanding of events doesn't square with reality," retired Army Gen. Tommy Franks wrote in a commentary published by The New York Times.

The Kerry campaign took issue with the retired general's comments. "Franks is a patriot. But in his attempt to campaign for President (George W.) Bush, he's letting political spin get in the way of the facts," said campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson.

So either (a) Franks is an incompetent boob; (b) Franks is lying; or (c) Kerry doesn't know jack about the goings-on in Afghanistan. General Franks says that Kerry doesn't understand reality, so I'll take his honorable word over that of the Poodle.

BTW, "The Poodle" is what Neal Boortz calls Kerry. Why? Because he's French and he's a rich woman's toy.
