A ha. He said he wanted to bring the troops home, but they deduced that he wanted to leave them in Iraq for years -- nay, decades -- longer.
eta: On this score, I obviously don't give a flying fuck at this point what Kerry specifically said or whether the conservative press treated him fairly. The election is over. We're still at war. The war is going badly. I'm just wishing that conservatives would notice that, and apply the impressive forensic skills that they deployed against Kerry. 'Cause we all know that if Kerry had promised to bring the troops home in four years, you'd be all over him for showing weakness.
