Tell NBC To Release The John Kerry "War Crimes" Tape NBC Has Suppressed

".......Geneva Conventions.....".

It was The Hague Conventions that established the rules for 'civilized warfare' after WWI. The Geneva Conventions deal with the human handling of prisoners, among other issues.

Thanx.....I'm trying to make heads or tails out of Kerry's statement in the interview.

[BurbankKarl]

I don't think you need the tape from NBC....there are plenty of places in Hollywood and NYC that tape everything that goes out over the air.

Wouldn't the RNC make or keep copies of all the news shows if they had half a brain, I know this is expecting a lot, but this show is less than 3 years ago.

[BurbankKarl]

Burrelles or Video Monitoring Service...

Do it!

This is similar to the case of Bush's National Guard service. If he had the evidence of his innocence, why did he not nip the accusation in the bud, years ago, instead of letting it get legs.

There are roughly 40% of America's voters who are going to believe everything they are told by the DNC and their enablers. If the actual voice of God declared Bush to be innocent, these people would be complaining about dirty tricks from the religious right.

If this video from Meet The Press was released, it would be extremely damaging for the Kerry campaign.

I'm asking this question sincerely: WHY? It is a matter of documented public record that the US government did employ the tactics described by Kerry, so the truth of that portion of the statement isn't an issue. I suppose it's debateable now whether or not those tactics did, in fact, violate international law at the time, but is that the issue you think the public should be debating? "Were the free fire zones in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War violations of the Geneva convention?" I seriously don't see conservatives winning that argument as a political tactic to weaken Kerry. I could be wrong.

BUMP!!!!

[DeaconRed]

Any Idea who that is with Scary?
I wonder if he is a "REAL" vet.
Some who were in the VVAW were not even Vets.

[DeaconRed]

"We shouldn't "shoot our wad" too soon, eh?"

My feelings exactly! ! !

Could it POSSIBLY be that NBC is part of a corrupt cover-up? (/bitter sacrasm)

Wrong interview. It wasn't Meet the Press he was on when he made the ORIGINAL comments in 1971. He was being interviewed by Crosby Noyes of the "Star".

Tim Russert, in 2001, PLAYED the 1971 tape for Kerry on MTP.

Now is the proper time to unleash this particular piece of info. People are just starting to form their impressions of Kerry as a person. The longer he is allowed to cast himself as a "war hero" (without being challenged), the harder it will be to convince people otherwise later (people will have a firm impression of him by October). Thus, it would not work as an October Surprise because, by that time, it would backfire as a "dirty trick".

Thus, the time to introduce this particular issue is NOW. Believe me... there is plenty of stuff left for an "October Surprise." I've seen a lot of info on Kerry that I'm sitting on. . .

I hate to say this, but I think Kerry is the RNC's secret favorite to win the primary.

With Kerry as the nominee, there is no going back to the center.

With Edwards as the nominee, there is no 6500 votes, no Jane Fonda, no Viet Nam hy-jinx, just his history as a tort attorney.

I wish we were wrecking the guy in May instead of Feb.

[jmstein7]

This issues does not a good October Surprise make.

It is a FOUNDATIONAL issue; a formative issue. Voting records , arrests, affairs, etc. make good "Surprise" issues.

This is a different issue. Via the "Goebbels" method, if he repeats (and the media repeats) "I'm a war hero" from now until October (or even until May, as people are beginning to pay attention), this piece of info will have no impact (or will be dismissed as a dirty trick) when it is released.

It is not enough to knock him out of the primaries, but it is enough to make "Vietnam" less of an issue for the general voting public. If we let him keep running with this, the incidentals (like "Bands of Brothers" will provide imagery too overwhelming.

Now is the time to run with this.

[FreeInWV]

Oops, sorry. I thought I had the right interview.

I wonder what is on the one I found? Judging from the time period, I'll bet he is saying alot of the same trash.
