the Kerry advocates frequently complain about distortions and lies and out of context excerpts ... the link to the interview is cited in the OP ... whether it's available in full in writing i have no idea ...

my clear statement is that i listened to the NPR interview and i think have i've fairly drawn the conclusion that Kerry's response to the question on a "surge" was CONDITIONAL ...

if you would like to extract and post the surrounding quotes i'd be happy to discuss it ... Kerry clearly did NOT rule out the possibility of sending more troops ... his statements that he totally opposes troop increases in a vacuum are fine but he still left the door open to increases ...
