John Kerry actually said...

"Well, I'm a Navy man first of all and, secondly, I'm a veteran of a war."

"Kerry also accused President Bush of undermining U.S. security with what he called blustery arrogant foreign policy."

"the war in Iraq has weakened security in the U.S."

"we deserve a president of the United States who doesn't make Homeland Security a photo opportunity and the rhetoric of a campaign. We deserve a president who makes America safer."
