Kerry claims he backed the Grenada invasion as a senator, but there's a problem or two

"I'm going to finish, Congressman. I am going to finish," said Kerry. "When I was in the United States Senate, I supported military action in any number of occasions, including Grenada, Panama--I can run a list of them. And I am not going to sit here and be told by you that I don't have a sense of what the judgment is with respect to this," he said angrily.

The Grenada invasion occurred in 1983. Kerry became a senator in 1985.

Quote
"The invasion of Grenada represents the Reagan policy of substituting public relations for diplomatic relations . . . no substantial threat to US interests existed and American lives were not endangered . . . The invasion represented a bully's show of force against a weak Third World nation. The invasion only served to heighten world tensions and further strain brittle US/Soviet and North/South relations."

That's what he told the Cape Codder at the time, and even the liberal Globe couldn't help but point out Kerry was trying to "rewrite that history."

So at the same time Kerry is still tossing out the phony claim that he supported the Grenada invasion, we find ourselves considering the claim of Vladimir Putin that Kerry flatly lied about the presence of Al Qaeda in Syria. Now of course, this is Vladimir Putin, no friend of ours, no friend of freedom, no nice guy. So you can't help but be skeptical when he says:

"They lie beautifully, of course. I saw debates in Congress. A congressman asks Mr Kerry: 'Is al Qaeda there?' He says: 'No, I am telling you responsibly that it is not. Al Qaeda units are the main military echelon, and they know this. It was unpleasant and surprising for me - we talk to them, we proceed from the assumption that they are decent people. But he is lying and knows he is lying. It's sad."

 The Democrats put Kerry in as SOS to make Hillary look like a saint! This guy is a pathological liar!

Why am I believing Putin over my own government? Something is very wrong here.

I have two used to be democrat cousins that happened to be there when the U.S. military showed up....they were damn glad to see U.S. forces.
