Kerry Backed Korea, Europe Troop Reductions Three Weeks Ago
Sen. John Kerry is blasting President Bush for his plan to withdraw 70,000 troops from South Korea and Germany. But less than three weeks ago the top Democrat said he thought such troop reductions were a good idea, specifically naming Europe and Korea.

"I think we can significantly change the deployment of troops [in Iraq], not just there but elsewhere in the world. In the Korean peninsula perhaps, in Europe perhaps. There are great possibilities open to us. But this administration has very little imagination."
Addressing a VFW convention on Wednesday, however, Kerry bashed Bush for taking his advice, charging that cutting our forces in Korea "is clearly the wrong signal to send" at this time.
As noted by the Weekly Standard, which unearthed the Aug. 1 Kerry quotes on its Web site Thursday, "Who knows what Sen. Kerry believes? Does Sen. Kerry even know?"
