TV reporter: Senator Kerry! Aren't you misunderestimating the president? Mike: And so it begins... Reporter: Senator Kerry, Why do you think the American people seem to trust Republicans more on military issues? John Kerry: Beats me! Who led us into World War I? Democrats! WWII? Korea? Vietnam? Democrats! Who used the bomb in Japan? Democrats! Republicans only start nasty, little bully wars, picking exclusively on nations easily defeated... ...Three-day wonders like Panama or Grenada, or a few weeks here and there fighting Muslims! You call those wars? Please! Democratic wars are robust, protracted affairs, involving big shakes of the dice and enormous sacrifices of blood and treasure - wars for the history books! Reporters: So if Democrats were in charge? Kerry: We'd re-take the Pacific! Or invade France again! We'd raise the bar!
