These are the american military forces that were eliminated during
the administration of bill clinton and al gore.
John kerry on defense -- "i hadn't seen this list printed before. It
would make one heck of a mailer if it were sent to voters."
he voted to kill:
the bradley fighting vehicle
the m-1 abrams tank
every aircraft carrier laid down from 1988.
The aegis anti aircraft system
the f-15 strike eagle
the block 60 f-16
the p-3 orion upgrade
the b-1
the b-2
the patriot anti missile system
the fa-18
the b-2
the f117
in short, he voted to kill every military appropriation for the
development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to
include the battle armor for our troops. With kerry as president our
army will be made up of naked men running around with sticks and
clubs.
Kerry also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of
the us government and to cut the funding of the fbi by 60%, to cut
the funding for the cia by 80%, and cut the funding for the nsa by
80%.
But then he voted to increase our funding for u.N operations by
800%!!!
Is this a president you want?
