Some Viet Nam "hero." Some patriot. Some prototypical Democrat!
I wrote this just this morning.
Kerry
I thank you for your service,
Way back in Viet Nam.
But that is no free ticket,
To let you pull this scam.
You spit upon our nation,
Betrayed our young brave men.
You called them baby killers,
It’s not true now, nor then.
You sir are just low life scum,
You prey upon rich chicks.
I hope Teresa sees the light,
And dumps your bag of tricks.
I’ll vote for Bush this coming fall,
And pray that you don’t win.
For if you win, we all will lose,
Our freedom will cave in.

Editor’s note: This is part one in a series that will reveal the Democrat
front-runner’s track record on the important issues of the day.
Putative presidential nominee Sen. John Forbes Kerry, D-Mass., began
his involvement with the nation’s painful POW/MIA drama long before
entering the hallowed halls of American political power.
In April 1971, when as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, he
gave his infamous war-bashing testimony before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Kerry did not stop at declaring that he and many
other veterans of that conflict were war criminals.
Pointedly, Kerry also insisted that the United States had a definite
obligation to make extensive economic reparations to the people of
Vietnam.
Specifically, the newly discharged Navy veteran was an advocate of the
so-called “People’s Peace Treaty,” a tome reportedly drafted up in
communist East Germany. Its nine points closely followed the enemy Viet
Cong’s proposals being touted at the Paris peace talks as a quid pro quo
for ending the fighting.
What rankles many Vietnam veterans today is that Kerry’s blatant
advocacy of the enemy's position occurred while hundreds of captured
American fighting men suffered and languished as prisoners of war in
North Vietnamese prisons.
Keep the POWs Hostage
Until the Communists Get Their Way
A key provision of the enemy platform supported by Kerry:
“The Vietnamese pledge that as soon as the U.S. government publicly
sets a date for total withdrawal [from Vietnam], they will enter discussion
to secure the release of all American prisoners, including pilots captured
while bombing North Vietnam.”
In the end, of course, the American leadership wanted nothing to do with
a sham proposition that called for the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from
Vietnam first, followed later by negotiations for the release of prisoners.
Some observers suggest that the perfidy of the youthful Kerry had not
much tempered by the time, when as a U.S. senator, he was frocked as
chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs in 1992.
To many Kerry's agenda as chairman appeared to be more about racing
to the normalization of relations with Vietnam than ending the miseries of
POW/MIA survivors thirsting for definitive answers as to what happened to
their men.
Visiting Vietnam, Kerry repeatedly angered the homefolk by praising his
former enemy for being open and reporting he was convinced they were
not holding American POWs.
In the end, Kerry and his committee determined in a 500-page final report
that American POWs were left alive in Vietnam after the war but felt none
were still alive. It made no attempt to identify those left behind, how they
died, who killed them or where their remains might be located.
Many POW/MIA families simply didn’t believe him, and they were soon
given more to ruminate on as to what could have driven Kerry to such
unsatisfying and incomplete conclusions.
Multimillion-Dollar Incentive to 'Reward Vietnam'
Shortly after Kerry declared to the world, “President Bush should reward
Vietnam within a month for its increased cooperation in accounting for
American MIAs,” Vietnam announced it had granted Colliers International,
based in Boston, a contract worth millions.
Designating Colliers International as the exclusive real estate agent
representing Vietnam, the communist regime positioned the company to
rake in tens of millions of dollars in future contracts to upgrade Vietnam’s
ports, railroads and other infrastructure.
C. Stewart Forbes, chief executive officer of Colliers International, is John
Forbes Kerry’s cousin.
The saga, however, does not end there. There remains the nettlesome
matter of the document shredding.
John F. McCreary, a Defense Intelligence Agency analyst assigned to
Kerry’s committee, is a member of the Virginia State Bar and
consequently saw an obligation to report what he suspected was
misconduct by Kerry, also an attorney governed by the lawyers’ ethic
code.
McCreary felt duty-bound to report knowledge of Kerry’s document
shredding – specifically, the intelligence briefing text - to Vice Chairman
Bob Smith.
Kerry: Destroy All Copies
A memorandum by McCreary: “Sen. John Kerry ... told the Select
Committee members that ‘all copies’ would be destroyed. This statement
was made in the presence of the undersigned and of the Staff Chief
Counsel who offered no protest.”
On April 9, 1992, McCreary verified that the original document was
destroyed, as well as 14 copies.
The McCreary memo continued: “On 15 April 1992, the Staff Chief
Counsel, J. William Codinha ... ridiculed the Staff members for expressing
their concerns; and replied, in response to questions about the potential
consequences, ‘Who’s the injured party,’ and ‘How are they going to find
out because its classified.’”
To defuse the growing crisis, on April 16 Kerry stated that the original
documents had remained in the Office of Senate Security all along, so
nothing wrong had been done.
But according to McCreary: “The Staff Director had deposited a copy of
the intelligence briefing text in the Office of Senate Security at 1307 on 16
April.”
Kerry had, according to McCreary, ordered a non-original copy of the
document entered into the Office of Senate Security, but only after
protests from staff caused him to rethink complete destruction of the
documents.
Cover-up
As McCreary stated at the time, this “constituted an act to cover up the
destruction.”
Ironically, the Kerry campaign's Web site states: “When John Kerry
returned home from Vietnam, he joined his fellow veterans in vowing
never to abandon future veterans of America’s wars. Kerry’s commitment
to veterans has never wavered and stands strong to this day.
Well the lefties sure bit off their liberal noses to spite their faces this time. GWB has come out of this Viet Nam era controversy smelling like a rose. While Kerry has been revealed to the entire world as the the treasonous traitor to the Viet Nam veterans and the rest America. Talk about poetic justice. That rope around Kerry's neck is getting tighter by the day. Lenin had it right. They are "useful idiots!" Semper Fi, Kelly
While your work is clever and pleasing to the eye, it probably would not be effective because very few Americans know that flag. Different generation.
What is JFKerry's Vietnam Record. What do his records show?
Do they still exist?
Interesting that JFKerry has not said, "here are my records".
One can only imagine what he is hiding.
That is the one major problem with all this trashing a sitting President to discredit him.
JFKerry has made darn sure we won't forget. Not that we had anyway.
