I was in the middle of my workout this morning, running on the treadmill, flipping through the FM stations on my MP3 player, when what do I hear coming through the headphones?

Why it's John Kerry's voice From 25 some odd years ago testifying before congress saying if Calley is a war criminal then everybody in a position of leadership was a war criminal because, among other reasons, we had our recruits doing four count squats and shouting Kill on count 4 and we had posters in out barracks with the phrase "kill all gooks", etc. etc..

And this was on NPR.

If NPR can dig up audio of him saying we were war criminals than how come CNNCBSNBCABC and all the other pukes can't do it?

Kerry's so far ahead of Edwards at this point he'll get the nomination no matter what. He has the dempcrap base locked up. They don't care about his anti-war escapades.

Has Kerry visited a Navy base or ship, recently?
If so, how was he received?

Kerry and the Democrats wanted to make Vietnam a center issue of the campaign by portraying Kerry as the war hero, but to their great misfortune, this issue of Vietnam will destroy John Kerry. People will know his dark anti Vietnam war record and they will deeply detest him for betraying his fellow soldiers.

"...Sherman notes Kerry's work with Vietnam Veterans against the War. He writes: "Mr. Kerry became a leader in the VVAW and even testified before Congress on the findings of the [VVAW Winter Soldier] Investigation, which he accepted at face value. In his book 'Stolen Valor,' B.G. Burkett points out that Mr. Kerry liberally used phony veterans to testify to atrocities they could not possibly have committed. Mr. Kerry later threw what he represented as his awards at the Capitol in protest. But as the war diminished as a political issue, he left the VVAW, which was a bit too radical for his political future, and was ultimately elected to the Senate. After his awards were seen framed on his office wall, he claimed to have thrown away someone else's medals--so now he can reclaim his gallantry in Vietnam."

(Kerry)

WINTER SOLDIER INVESTIGATION
I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.... They told the stories at times 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. We call this investigation the "Winter Soldier Investigation." The term "Winter Soldier" is a play on words of Thomas Paine in 1776 when he spoke of the Sunshine Patriot and summertime soldiers who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough.

It was later proved these stories were out and out lies from VVAW who were not even there or veterans. Congress appeared to buy to lies just to appease a divided America; divided because of people like John Kerry. Mr. Kerry, you cannot have it both ways - this is what duplicitous people get - the gong!

... I've always fought for the soldiers," he said......and when your anti-war testimony and writing is linked with statements from former POW's about how your efforts were used to shatter their hope and morale, and with statements from former NVN leaders about how your efforts encouraged them to keep fighting and killing those soldiers you claim to have been fighting for - maybe then you'll finally understand what you really accomplished, though of course you still won't be man enough to acknowledge it to the American people......

All it will take to destroy Kerry is a televised interview with a former 'Nam POW who saw fellow POWs tortured or killed while Jane Kerry and John Fonda were aiding and abetting the enemy.

"That's all that came out of his mouths for weeks and then DNC and the RAT Trolls went after Pres Bush for his ANG Duty."

The McAwful man was on FNC this evening spouting the same ole garbage. Even when he was confronted with Kerry's admonition to stop it, he said they will continue.

I say, "Bring it on!!!"

JFK supports the U.N.
He would clearly be in support of allowing U.S. citizens to be tried for war crimes. There is no statute of limitations for war crimes.
Then the predicament arises that by signing such an act, Kerry would subject numerous Vets, including himself, to imprisonment by the U.N. - BASED ON HIS OWN TESTIMONY.

In the Washington Monument picture, look above and slightly to the right of the guy in the wheelchair. The guy without the shirt on, could it be Jan Michael Vincent after starring in Tribes?

Possibly, but the *Dewey Canyon II* Demonstrations in Washington weren't until April, 1971, in response to the then-ongoing *Dewey Canyon II* incursion into Laos. Jan Michael Vincent's made-for-TV anti-war/USMC production Tribes [with Darren McGavin as the Marine Drill Instructor] aired in the US on 10 November 1970.

That's a long time to go without a shirt, even for Janny-Mike.

Oh, Squantos... Have I got the accessory for you...:

Company sells AK47 Magazine MP3 Players

Posted 2/14/2004 from Ananova printer friendly version

"A British-based company is selling MP3 players which can be attached to an assault rifle.

The 'AK-MP3' player is built into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov. It can be swapped with the real magazine carrying bullets and inserted into the weapon.

The device is being advertised on the internet by a Buckinghamshire-based company set up by a group of Russian businessmen.

It comes with enough storage space to hold 9,000 songs. Former Russian rock star Andrey Koltakov, a partner in the dotcom company offering the AK-MP3 for sale, said: 'This is our bit for world peace - hopefully, from now on many militants and terrorists will use their AK-47s to listen to music and audio books.'

The accessory costs just over 200 pounds. According to those marketing it the stainless steel body makes it 'uniquely suitable for outdoors'."
