(Where's The Outrage)Kerry's Group Helped Hanoi Defeat U.S. Say's North Vietnamese General

Where's the outrage??? The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.

In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S.

That's why, Oliver North has said the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face." "People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't for these guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost," North told radio host Sean Hannity.

"The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged people to mutiny - some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers," noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts in Vietnam.

"John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands," North said. Source: USAAttacked.com

The left is only outraged by moral behavior, true patriotism, capitalism, and Christianity.

Remember, most of the left was FOR the North Vietnamese, they WANTED THE NORTH TO WIN !!! Thus, it is a good thing that Kerry helped the righteous North win their war of liberation. I heard this repeated by a Dem apologist only last week. I think it was on MS-NBC. He said something like "the Vietnam War was an illegitimate war, it was an illegal war, and America was wrong to be there and wrong to fight it".

THE QUESTION FOR KERRY: "Are you glad the North Vietnamese won the war?"

Absolutely true! The greatest weapon North Vietnam had during the war was the communist led antiwar protests here at home. They gave the enemy moral support and the strength to continue the war. Not only is the blood of dead American soldiers on Kerry's hand, but because of useful idiots like him, so is the death of millions of south Vietnamese, and millions of Cambodians. They were slaughtered by the communists after we pulled out of Vietnam. What is sad is that close to half this country will probably vote for that pro socialist, anti-military Marxist.

McCain: Testimony by Kerry and others before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was "the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us."

I rather doubt that the General actually suggested that Hanoi "was going to surrender". He may have said that the Anti-War movement was a major factor in the NV victory...that much sounds pretty much like other statements that I have heard from Hanoi apparatchiks.

The demonrats don't care at all about the million or so South Vietnamese killed by the communists after their takeover of the south.

Of course not -- they're just a statistic. Besides, there are no 'pictures'.
