John Kerry: The mission I found in Vietnam

It appears Candidate Kerry is going to refight, and lose, that war, having no ideas how to fight the one we're currently engaged in.

Hippy pinko commie fag. He's toast.

[JennysCool]

Hold on here! John Kerry was in Vietnam? Who knew?

[Jeff Chandler]

Stuck in the sixties.

I made a mess of the formating the first time, thinking of what Kerry would do to the country I guess.

[TigersEye]

Thank you. I was getting a little paranoid. =8-O

It is time to start calling people stuck in the '60s what they are: old fogies.

John Kerry has a mission:

John Kerry’s Treaty - Outsourcing sovereignty (to the UN)

On Wednesday, Sen. Kerry voted by proxy (since he can't take time off from running for president to do his day job in person) for a resolution of ratification that would make the U.S. a party to the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar brought the treaty to a unanimous favorable vote and promises to try to get the Senate to act on it "as soon as possible."

That is precisely what Sen. Lugar is trying to do. He has: prevented critics from testifying before his own committee; kept other committees from being briefed on the treaty; and is seeking to get it to the Senate floor before effective opposition can be organized and expressed.

U.S. adherence to this treaty would entail history's biggest and most unwarranted voluntary transfer of wealth and surrender of sovereignty.

These include the power to: regulate seven-tenths of the world's surface area, levy international taxes, impose production quotas (for deep-sea mining, oil production, etc.), govern ocean research and exploration, and create a multinational court to render and enforce its judgments.

The treaty effectively prohibits two functions vital to American security: collecting intelligence in, and submerged transit of, territorial waters.

Too many allies were corrupt.

So? Kerry likes corrupt allies. His foreign policy is essentially based upon appeasing them.

[abner]

This is too much!

You mean like the guys with the receding foreheads and gray ponytails?

[Free ThinkerNY]

I'd compare FrankenKerry to a snake, but I don't want to insult snakes.

At times it seemed that we were the only ones who really understood that the faults in Vietnam were those of the war, not the warriors.

Lying sack of <bleep> -- read his 'testimony at Winter Soldier.

[Shermy]

And there was the anger I felt toward body-counting, face-saving leaders sitting safely in Washington sending to the killing fields troops who were often poor, black or brown.

Recycling the Vietnam race myth for the elite liberal ignorati.

[SJackson]

Odd this isn't on the NY Times website, since the Intl Herald Tribune credits them.

Only if they're liberals!

Why couldn't he look at the telegram? Because he didn't get one. Who got a telegram on a ship? And since he wasn't the man's family, why would he get a telegram?

Washington in flames? You mean like in 1814? Gimme a break!

Kerry thinks he is at the center of history. That events revolve around him. That he is the only participant that matters.

Kerry doesn't write with a pen.

He writes with a shovel.

[SJackson]

This is too much!

Think so? He's picking up endorsements!

John Kerry - the Candidate [Pravda loves him!]

You're right, missed that. And he wrote this nonsense himself.
