Not a Single Soldier?

Somalia?

That is a completely false claim.  It probably was impromtu ingorance if I had to guesse.

I think it was irgnorance because it was too blatant.  Why intentionally tell a lie that no one will believe?  Especially with the ubiquitous media and the opposing party watching his every move.

Maybe he was just thinking of the Balkan conflict.  It was a stupid thing to say.

For instance, the Dems keep saying that we are in a reccession even though we obviously aren't.

Sure, but that is opinion.  I agree with you, but telling this "lie" means they can get away with it.  You can't get away by saying 2 + 2 = 5 or not a single soldier died under Clinton.

I know whatever Kerry and the Democratic Party do is lying and coniving, unlike any Republicans who never smudge the truth for political gain, but is it possible to believe he just screwed up?
