Debate: Kerry Lies Part 1

The Great Pretender's statements during this Debate perpetuate the same lies and in many cases completely contradict his statements prior to the Debate. Because they are so numerous and extensive, I am taking them on one by one.

"The president made the judgment to divert forces from under General Tommy Franks from Afghanistan before the Congress even approved it to begin to prepare to go to war in Iraq." -- John Kerry, Presidential Debate, September 30, 2004

Kerry has made this claim before:

September 21, 2004: During a press conference in Jacksonville Florida, Kerry suggested that Bush had taken needed troops out of Afghanistan.

September 21, 2004: In response to Kerry suggestion, Gen. Franks said in an ABC radio interview with Sean Hannity: "That's absolutely incorrect."

Despite direct, clear and unequivocal denial by Gen. Tommy Franks, Kerry still continued to lie about this to the American public before the Debate:

September 24, 2004: In his Philadelphia speech Sept. 24, Kerry declared: "All you have to do is ask Gen. Tommy Franks how surprised he was that those troops moved out of there (Afghanistan) when he was trying to do the job he was doing."

And Kerry continued to lie to the American people during the Debate:

September 30, 2004: "The president made the judgment to divert forces from under General Tommy Franks from Afghanistan before the Congress even approved it to begin to prepare to go to war in Iraq." -- John Kerry, Presidential Debate

At the risk of being repetitive: there is no denying the fact that the Great Pretender completely ignored the truth and deliberately lied to America and the rest of world both before and during the Debate.
