The AP is running a story about Franks this morning [1]
“Franks, former commander of forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, faulted Kerry’s votes on major weapons systems and intelligence issues, and against the 1991 Gulf War.
“If his voting record ruled the day, Saddam Hussein would not only be running Iraq but Kuwait,” Franks told about 200 people Sunday at a Reno rally.
“The choice is very, very clear. We need decisive, strong, no-backing-down and no-equivocating leadership,” he said.
Franks praised the Democratic challenger’s military service during the Vietnam War, but said Kerry’s later anti-war activities upset him.
“The men I served with in Vietnam weren’t war criminals and I’m proud I served with them,” Franks said.
Nice to have you in the fight, General.
