Lie and Die

Kerry called into Imus on the morning his proposal (along with Barbara Boxer and Russ Feingold) is to be introduced in the Senate.

The transcript isn't up yet, but here's Kerry's response to "cut and run":

LIE AND DIE.

Repeat as often as possible.

[UPDATE]: Transcript here. Exact quote:

"Stay the course" is not a plan. And what this administration wants is to have a fake debate, as usual. They're -- you hear the drum beat on every television show from every commentator, "cut and run, cut and run, cut and run, cut and run." That's their phrase. They found their three words. They love to do that. And they're going to try to make the elections in November a choice between "cut and run" and "stay the course". That's not the choice. My plan is not "cut and run." Their plan is "lie and die." And that's what they are doing. They lie to America, what's happening on the ground. They lie about why we're there.
