Finally

John Kerry figured out how to respond to charges regarding his vote on the $87 billion dollars that's either being totally mismanaged or mostly mismanaged as the downpayment for Operation Go Fuck Ourselves. Remember when the war was going to cost "only" a billion dollars or so? I'd be amusing, what, all these so-called conservatives bragging about how much money they've spent, if it wasn't so goddamned tragic (the 900th US soldier was recently killed in Iraq, while the civilian deaths are nearing the 15,000 mark). Here's his response to the Army Times, which interviewed him last month:

"I didn't vote against body armor for troops. I voted to pay for the $87 billion, and when they weren't willing to pay for it, I voted against it because that was a protest against their unwillingness to be responsible."

Indeed.
