I pulled my copy of B.G.'s book out (personally autographed in 1999 when I spent most of the day with him) and B.G. says that "Kerry, a Kennedy protege with white-hot political aspirations, ascended center stage as both a war hero and as an anti-war hero throwing away his combat decorations. His speech, apparently off the cuff, was eloquent, impassioned. This is referring to Kerry's speech before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
B.G. goes on to tell the story about Kerry's medals being on his Capitol Hill office wall. B.G. goes on to say "And Kerry's emotional, from-the-heart speech had been carefully crafted by a speechwriter for Robert Kennedy named Adam Walinsky, who also tutored him on how to present it."
Kerry looks more and more like a very dangerous oddball. Unfit to be a U.S. Senator much less president of the United States of America.
Not only that, but also the blood of Vietnamese civilian non-combatants, according to a Zumwalt conversation with W. Scott Thompson. His claims that everyone was committing atrocities in Vietnam was apparently to help justify his own actions.
Perjury bump...
I'm also looking for an article which stated JFKerry had taken BACK what he testified to. I know I read it right here on FR...
"... they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country..."
