"SORRY, SENATOR: YOU DON'T PICK THE SECDEF [KJL]
John Kerry sends out a pre-inaugural e-mail: From: John Kerry Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 5:19 PM> To: Kathryn Lopez Subject: Hold Bush and Rumsfeld Accountable!
Dear Kathryn,
I have just come back from Iraq. After several months consumed by the campaign trail, I wanted to make contact with our soldiers on the ground there. The first thing I want you to know is that, in very difficult circumstances, our brave soldiers are serving America with enormous skill and great courage.
In the Senate, we have a duty during times like these to hold our Defense Department accountable for the well-being of our troops. It's one of the ways that our democracy makes our military the strongest in the world. And I can't tell you how comforting it is as a soldier to know even if you don't have a say over your own situation, the folks back home do.
I knew our soldiers were still facing hold ups getting the equipment they need, but I wanted to see it for myself. American troops deserve the best gear and equipment we can provide. But adequate vehicle armor remains in short supply.
A soldier who spoke up about these problems was told by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, "you have to go to war with the army you have, not the army you want."1 Well, it's been over two years since Rumsfeld planned this war. And whether he has the army he wants or not, he should at least have basic armor for army vehicles.
I'll say this in the Senate, but I'm asking you to add your voice to mine:
"President Bush, for the sake of our troops, replace Rumsfeld now." "

It's a question of competence. Poor planning at the Pentagon is letting American soldiers down. According to the National Intelligence Council, the CIA director's think tank, Iraq is now providing the next generation of "professionalized" terrorists with "a training ground, a recruitment ground, [and] the opportunity for enhancing technical skills."2 Our troops need a capable Secretary of Defense. At the very least, they absolutely need that.
I believe that together, the three million of us who worked together on the campaign can help the troops. We not only have a right to speak out against failed Bush policies: we have a duty to defend this country from a President who refuses to recognize the total inadequacy of his own Defense Secretary. That's how democracy works. And that's why America has worked all these years.
The campaign season is over, but our citizenship continues. I know from personal experience that citizens and Senators standing up for the truth can be a powerful combination. Now, with email and the Web as citizenship tools, we can make ourselves heard even more clearly. And I can't tell you how inspired I am that you and I are using these tools to fight side-by-side for the things we believe in.
One more time: please join me in my call for President Bush to fire Donald Rumsfeld. He's the man responsible for the well-being of our troops. He's neglected his duty. He's made excuses. It's time for him to go.
Add your voice to mine in the Senate in calling for President Bush to replace Rumsfeld today.

did in the past and what he has done
in January 2005

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."

Hanoi Kerry STILL goes unpunished.
U.S. Constitution Amendment XIV
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Hang your heads in shame!
You remain silent while Hanoi Kerry betrays our troops to our enemies.
So when you wake up in the morning,
and look in the mirror,
before you go to the US Senate,
or to the TV or Radio studios,
know that you did nothing to remove this traitor.
Well REAL Americans know what you did NOT do!

"Former U.S. presidential candidate Senator John Kerry (D-MA), an election observer,
leaves the office of Mahmoud Abbas, in the West Bank city of Ramallah in this
January 10, 2005 file photo. Middle East countries are frustrated by U.S. policy in
Iraq and feel too little is being done to end violence there, U.S. Senator John Kerry
said on January 12, 2005 on a visit to the region. Kerry repeatedly criticized the
Bush administration's Iraq policy during his failed bid to win the U.S. presidency
from George W. Bush, who led the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein."
Hanoi Kerry is NOT a legitimate US Senator.
Never has been!
The traitor is doing the same thing he has always done.
Aiding the enemy!

kerry needs to be arrested, tried, convicted then shot for treason.
aftyerwards I may listen to his opinion on hell.
Dear John,
Apologize to the United States Armed forces, give back your phony medals, if you can find them, and Apologize to George W Bush your commander and chief, for aiding and abbeding enemies of the United States.
Ops4 God Bless America!
Thank goodness President Bush got relected, or we would have Sandy Berger in place of Donald Rumsfield..
"But adequate vehicle armor remains in short supply."
That statement is a lie - plain and simple. He assumes we're too stupid to know the truth. I guess the DUers are.
you SAID IT!!!
I am BOILING MAD!!!
I'll give my reason why Rummy has to go. He has to go over and kick John Kerry's butt because he's a traitor, a demagogue and just begs for it.
...and it seems that Sandy isn't in the clear yet. Wouldn't it be a hoot if he was prosecuted.
Oh, how I'd love to hear Kerry say that to Rummy in private man to "mouse" setting.
I'm sure Kerry would need a change of undies before it was over with.
I voted for the 87 billion (arm the troops) befor I voted against it (screw the troops like I did in 'Nam).
This man makes me physically ill!! I wish to God he would just STHU and go away!
'check my math.' this is so infuriating, could it be a "parody"?????
http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/05_01_16_corner-archive.asp
If you get that out of order, the dims would probably consider it a "threat". This way in order - it's a promise!
brilliant, but you forgot "and resign from the Senate and retire"
