JOHN KERRY: 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. These were not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit--the emotions in the room, and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told stories that, 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 Ghengis 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's in 1776, when he spoke of the "sunshine patriots," and "summertime soldiers" who deserted at Valley Forge because the going was rough.

We who have come here to Washington have come here because we feel we have to be winter soldiers now. We could come back to this country, we could be quiet, we could hold our silence, we could not tell what went on in Vietnam, but we feel, because of what threatens this country, not the reds, but the crimes which we are committing that threaten it, that we have to speak out.

Linkin' Lizards!!

There's a great FRONT PAGE article in Sunday's Chicago Tribune about how Kerry soiled the image of Vietnam Vets more than anyone.

I think the writer of the plagiarized my tag line!! ....I forgive him.

Here are some clips from the show, for your enjoyment & downloading...

The Winter Soldiers listing in lurid detail the atrocities of US soldiers.

John Kerry comparing the US in Vietnam to Ghengis Khan.

John Kerry asks "how do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake" - that is, the mistake of "fighting communism all over the world".

John Kerry says we're all to blame for My Lai.

We need that CNN/Judy Woodruff video &/or audiotape of Kerry "denying" his 1971 authentic undisputed audiotapes!

Put the URLs on the same page

If I had 'short' .wav or .mp3 format 'clips' like Matt Drudge and Carl Limbacher/NewsMax have posted on their websites I could put them on this:

EXAMPLES:

http://pro.lookingat.us/ClintonOBL.mp3

http://pro.lookingat.us/Tears.gif

http://pro.lookingat.us/AF1.gif


[please allow time for all audio and graphics to load on each of the 9 pages (so far!) and for my <META "Refresh" Tags to advance you to the next page; on page #9 it will zip you right back here to FR]

NO LONG DOWNLOADING TIMES:

NO SOFTWARE PROBLEMS FOR AUDIO / VIDEO:

[I use a "dinky" WebTV Plus 56K dialup w/SatTVfeed/VCR; my webpages must be 'low-tek' to load and play on my WebTV; so most can access, see, hear; NO PROBLEMO!]


FEEDBACK INVITED!

http://00access.tripod.com/Kerry.html

(always being 'edited' & updated)

Under a 30 second "clip" is 100% legal "fair use" to post or rebroadcast without any copyright permissions from CNN

Please try to keep a VCR/DVD recorder or radio/tape recorder handy for quick tape archiving; you can make the vital difference!

Why? I listened to the first 10 minutes of the presentation, which was all I could take, but I did hear the part you refer to. I think he was referring to the Vietnam War, not the USA. I was in college during the Vietnam War protests. I knew a lot of the radicals and SDS types. They may have harbored the same hatred toward our country as the radicals do today, but that hatred was not vocalized as openly. I think it's highly unlikely that Kerry would have so viciously denigrated the US in such a public forum at that time.

Interesting that in your reply to jwalburg, who makes the same point I did, you admit that he could be right. Oddly enough, you treat him with civility but somehow think it's appropriate to call me names and insult me, although I merely disagreed with you and was not rude or insulting to you.

Please do not reply to this
