Dennis Kucinich actually said...
I think this whole issue about president's records during the Vietnam War, I think, is a red herring. You know what the real issue is? One hundred and thirty thousand troops in Iraq right now. It was wrong to go in there, it's wrong to stay in. I am keeping this campaign focused on getting out of Iraq.
Context
Kucinich emphasizes the importance of focusing on current issues, specifically the presence of troops in Iraq, rather than past military records.
