Kerry should make up

.....'Both now want to reject the war without penalty. It shows a surprising lack of seriousness about war from two decorated combat veterans of Vietnam.

One can flip-flop on many things.

But war is not like voting on whether toilets shall be limited to 1.6 gallons per flush. (There really is such a law.) War is final.

Fortunately, both men are wrong about being wrong. Our young men and women have not died in vain.

Establishing a democracy in the Middle East and freeing Iraqis from an Idi Amin-level dictator will go a long way toward shortening the War on Terrorism. The death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi should help.

Had the military heeded Murtha's call last November to immediate redeploy its troops out of Iraq within six months, al-Zarqawi would be alive and well and Iraq would look like Somalia, another nation where Murtha requested a U.S. redeployment.'..........

snip

'Unfortunately for Somalia, President Clinton did just that. President Bush visited Baghdad this week as Iraq's first duly elected government in 59 years launched an effort to stabilize the nation.

Both Kerry and Murtha want a timetable for leaving Iraq. That's simple: When hell freezes over or when Iraq asks us to leave.

We still have troops in Germany, Japan, Italy and England as the result of World War II.

In April 1971, testifying before the Senate, Kerry asked: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"

Now that he is in the Senate, he seems to have no problem asking men and women to do just that. He says his vote was a "mistake," but he offers nothing to make up for his "mistake."

How hollow.

Fortunately, Kerry did not become the commander-in-chief. The Iraq war is not a mistake. The American people need to stand by the people of Iraq against a terrorism that threatens them both. '

LT Ping...

just warming up...

Like the fact that it is from this paper...

yah.. We want to know what Kerry knows, and when did he know it? We musty hold him accountable.. flip-flopping on death and life decisions is not something lightly brushed aside with an apology.

Here! Here! A noble suggestion! Let these sanctimonious b*st*rds take responsibility for their past judgments and do the honorable thing: RESIGN!

But war is not like voting on whether toilets shall be limited to 1.6 gallons per flush. (There really is such a law.) War is final.

Actually, I don't think there was ever a vote on that. I think it was a regulation created during the Clinton administration.

"John Kerry [rumor has it he was in Vietnam] Now And Then"

June 15, 2006 - Washington, DC - PipeLineNews.org - As the House debates winning the Global War on Terror, deep divisions continue to splinter House and Senate Democrat efforts to unite behind one cohesive message. While some Democrats understand the challenges it takes to combat terrorism in a post-9/11 world, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has been working overtime denouncing those efforts and proposing America relent and retreat.

Honorable and Democrat, two words with opposite meaning.

'On Fox, radio host Mark Williams claimed Kerry has "got to be on crack" for recent Iraq comments

Summary: On Fox News' Your World, radio host Mark Williams claimed that Sen. John Kerry -- who recently stated that his vote in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq was a mistake -- has "got to be on crack" and that weapons of mass destruction were found in the form of "300,000 people in mass graves."
On the June 13 edition of Fox News' Your World, radio host Mark Williams claimed that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has "got to be on crack," after host Neil Cavuto played a portion of a speech Kerry made at the "Take Back America" conference in which Kerry said, "I was wrong to vote for that Iraqi war resolution."

Later in the interview, which also involved radio host Nancy Skinner, Williams said that "we have eliminated the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction program." When Skinner challenged Williams's remark by noting that "we found no weapons of mass destruction," Williams replied: "Yes, the 300,000 people in mass graves found them for you, Nancy."'

Absolutely right. Great article.

Kerry is such a disgusting sack I can't even stand it. He has NO business having ANYTHING to do with this nation's future, it's bad enough he's had a hand in our past and present.

Sepuku... is his only salvation.

If Kerry and Murtha are this irrational they certainly do no need to be in any position of authority. Can you imagine the problem we would have if our country were attacked and we had to depend on either of them?

That man turns my stomach!

"It is the duty of any president, in the final analysis, to defend this nation and dispel the security threat. Saddam Hussein has brought military action upon himself by refusing for 12 years to comply with the mandates of the United Nations. The brave and capable men and women of our armed forces and those who are with us will quickly, I know, remove him once and for all as a threat to his neighbors, to the world, and to his own people, and I support their doing so."

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. He miscalculated an eight-year war with Iran. He miscalculated the invasion of Kuwait. He miscalculated America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength. He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm.

So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War.

In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing."

'Suicides, Club Gitmo, sorrow on the left'

Don't cry for us Pinch, Kofi and John Kerry
By John Burtis
Tuesday, June 13, 2006

The announcement of the three carefully orchestrated suicides of the terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay arrived in that packet of news briefs on Fox with little accompanying fanfare.

Just a how do you do and an update out of that small bit of democratic America on that great big island of oppression where the liberals grow teary eyed about Fidel’s marvelous health care system, where a toothy Jimmy Carter’s photo also hangs on the murderous Mr. Castro’s wall, and where Mr. Chavez often calls.

Sadly, like so many deaths which had preceded these, they were choreographed to maximize their attention by their number and simultaneity. And they succeeded to some little extent. The death dealers are smart and the New York Times is a preferred lapdog, who’ll jump at the sound of the mailman or the death of a torture monger with equal aplomb.

And the Times — the home of Mr. Pinch Sulzberger’s personal playground, anemic cash cow, board of approval, personal elevator, valet, hod carriers, sounding brass, distorted lenses and mirrors which make him seem taller, scrambled telephones, large private bathroom, larger office, plans for the new executive office building, bins of fading stock values, future earnings warnings — went to the mat and wept for their passage into a honeyed and virgin populated Paradise at the collective drop of their Keffiyehs.

Not content to merely mourn their abrupt departure from the vale of tears they were enduring for merely being captured on the field of battle when they could’ve been shot, while operating as irregularly dressed terrorists well outside the bounds of the oft applied Geneva Convention, which in the liberal mind set applies to combatants of every evil stripe except American soldiers, the Times literally bemoaned their upscale housing and treatment.

And then, far from being finished in their vindictive sleights, the Times went on to explain that the UN, that Solomon-like arbiter of all things evil, had previously deemed our treatment of these poor wretches, these downtrodden suffering murderers, as unconscionable. After all, their world renowned absentee rapporteurs had said so.

Yes, Kofi Annan and his court have deemed our treatment of our prisoners as dreadful, while they remain silent about that meted out to those in the docks in Zimbabwe, the Congo, North Korea, and Cuba — and all the other garden spots of humanity the UN is so loath to judge for fear of upsetting the anti-democratic moguls they hustle with such alacrity and provide a handy forum for. But mum’s the word at the UN, especially about their own criminal behavior, a topic the New York Times sheds little light or ink on.

Of course in their unquestioned zeal, the Times, with only the goodness and mercy they always have at their total command, had forgotten that the UN had never visited the well-lit and airy dungeons at Guantanamo Bay, despite the offers of the US military, where the three squares of food are said to be quite good and the Koran is treated with all the dignity that can be mustered, after all the appropriate courses on its treatment are absorbed. And this on top of the routine humiliations the Bible endures at the hands of the same brigands and of the Times themselves.

Yes, the terrorists have killed themselves, the Times has and will continue to sob, as they have for Mr. Zarqawi, and soon the usual liberal politicians will again demand a full redress of the horrid conditions which reign there. And they will conveniently forget those visited on Nicholas Berg and our valiant dead, nor will the loudest detractors visit, before rendering their decisions. For, like Honest John Murtha, the facts would only serve to cloud their verdicts, which must be swift, deadly, and prearranged, and they are required by MoveOn.Org to find the military wanting in every regard. It is, after all, far better and easier to damn the soldier in the field from the safety of the congressional office, than to praise him while standing in the dangers of the combat zone.

Soon John Kerry and his anti-war ilk, will be calling for a further retreat and a further abnegation of our goals in the war on terror. And this bugling will come from a man who chased a guerilla down himself, he claims, and shot him to pieces in a way that should disturb the New York Times every bit as much as the courageous acts shown by our troops.

But with Mr. Kerry being liberal, his actions have become laudable, while our troops, being Americans fighting terrorists who threaten us all, are not - it therefore stands to reason, somehow, that the Times will vilify those abroad today and sanctify those who aren’t.

The suiciders have gone to meet their maker and have left the New York Times, the UN and Mr. Kerry to sing their song. And Pinch is doing the best he can with the staff he has to work with as he goes about maligning his country, belittling the war we are fighting for his personal protection and for the protection of his freedom to publish his ever more hopeless, fact thin and propaganda rich, riotous rag of a newspaper.

That Mr. Kerry and the other buffoons at the UN will soon pipe up is without question.' ..........more
