**Do we want to elect a Chief Executive who has consistently disaplayed a lack of understanding of Communism and Terrorism, the last two great ideological enemies of the United States?**

In short: NO!

Hanoi John Effin Kerry should be quite the authority on the subject of EXAGGERATED claims. Afterall, he's a true and honest legend in his own mind. Just ask him and he'll tell you just how danged lucky we all are to have him running for the Office of President.

I'll go and hurl, now.

I think it is bogus, totally artificial. There is no threat. The Communists are not about to take over our McDonald hamburger stands.

Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap


Born: 1912
Place of Birth: An Xa, Vietnam
Military University: none
Wars Fought:
-World War II
-First Indochina War(French-Indochina War 1946-1954)
-Second Indochina War(Vietnam War 1965-1972)
-Third Indochina War 1979-81
Vietnam War:
Gen. Giap planned and directed the military operations against the French that culminated in their defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. During the 1960's Giap controlled guerrilla operations against South Vietnam and the United States and planned the Tet Offensive of 1968.

In his book, Giap clearly indicated that NVA troops were without sufficient supplies, and had been continually defeated time and again.

By 1968, NVA morale was at it's lowest point ever. The plans for "Tet" '68 was their last desperate attempt to achieve a success, in an effort to boost the NVA morale. When it was over, General Giap and the NVA viewed the Tet '68 offensive as a failure, they were on their knees and had prepared to negotiate a surrender.

At that time, there were fewer than 10,000 U.S. casualties, the Vietnam War was about to end, as the NVA was prepared to accept their defeat. Then, they heard Walter Cronkite (former CBS News anchor and correspondent) on TV proclaiming the success of the Tet '68 offensive by the communist NVA. They were completely and totally amazed at hearing that the US Embassy had been overrun. In reality, The NVA had not gained access to the Embassy--there were some VC who had been killed on the grassy lawn, but they hadn't gained access. Further reports indicated the riots and protesting on the streets of America.

According to Giap, these distorted reports were inspirational to the NVA. They changed their plans from a negotiated surrender and decided instead, they only needed to persevere for one more hour, day, week, month, eventually the protesters in American would help them to achieve a victory they knew they could not win on the battlefield. Remember, this decision was made at a time when the U.S. casualties were fewer than 10,000, at the end of 1967, beginning of 1968.

Communism was an unsustainable, government-directed plan-based economic system without any potential for innovation because it lacked a proper incentive structure. Given that communism collapsed generally out of its inability to transition from a simple heavy-industrial economy (coal and steel) which it was VERY good at (witness the trouncing of the Germans) to a an economic system based on complex high-tech manufacturing and later information technology (which the US managed in the 1970's and 80's-witness the decline of the rust belt and the rise of Silicon Valley), I hardly think Kerry was wrong to claim that communism was vastly over-rated! IT WAS! The domino theory was a load of bunk, so was the 'monolithic communist bloc nonsense of the 50's. Sure it might have spread to a few economic backwaters but it was eventually doomed. We just needed to wait it out!

Sure... and to the French looking (and thinking) Jean F. Cheri, Al Qaeda is not yet ready to detonate a nuclear warhead in an American city. After all, the threat of Islamofascist terrorism is greatly exagerrated.

In Mr Henry Kissinger's new book, Ending The Vietnam War, he points out that the US could not simply abandon South Vietnam after four presidents of both political parties had declared that its survival was crucial to American national security. When America did leave, the international climate was affected. As Mr Kissinger notes, within six months of Saigon's fall, a Cuban expeditionary force appeared in Angola. Soviet and Cuban adventurism across the Third World picked up substantially. Three years later, the Shah of Iran was toppled. Then US diplomats were taken hostage in Teheran. Of course, local politics contributed, but Mr Kissinger wonders how much these developments were influenced by the fact that America's enemies were increasingly convinced 'that the wave of history was on their side'. - "US must use its sword, or else..., " by FAREED ZAKARIA, Straights Times (Singapore) , 2-10-03

“I’m an internationalist,” Kerry told The Crimson in 1970. “I’d like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.”

"Kerry said he wanted “to almost eliminate CIA activity. "

from his interview with the Harvard Crimson.

The factor which should be the real killer, is that Kerry is taking Chinese money for his campaign...just like Clinton.
