"…at times [American soldiers] had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam…" John Kerry, testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, April 22, 1971

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women…" John Kerry, Face the Nation, December 4, 2005

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq." John Kerry, during a campaign rally for California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides, October 30, 2006

"If anyone thinks that a veteran, someone like me who’s been fighting my entire career to provide for veterans, to fight for their benefits, to help honor what their service is – if anybody thinks that a veteran would somehow criticize more than 140,000 troops serving in Iraq and not the President and his people who put them there, they’re crazy." John Kerry, Press Statement, October 31, 2006

Call me crazy.
