Leader of the Free World?
Press Conference, 9/23/2004
QUESTION: Senator, how would you as president stop the kidnappings and the beheadings?

SEN. KERRY: You have to provide security, and the only way to provide security adequately is to rapidly train the forces. This administration has not done that. I mean, we've -- look, if you're serious about this, folks, put some people on a 747.

You know, I remember how we got plenty of troops into Vietnam on chartered airliners. Why don't we put some people on airplanes and fly them to countries and train them there, if their troops are unwilling to go into the country? There are plenty of ways to do more rapid training. You could do more rapid training in nearby countries.
Oh, geez, that's brilliant! We should be putting people on 747s! Now I finally understand why there are so many kidnappings in Iraq. We don't have enough 747s!
