Actually, this guy's profile appears right below the one in my post 58, and is a USNA grad. Imagine, both John and Jack O'Neill, born one year apart, both at the same firm.
JOHN E. O'NEILL
Born San Diego, California, February 19, 1946; admitted to bar, 1974, Texas. Education: United States Naval Academy (B.S., cum laude, 1967); University of Texas (J.D., summa cum laude, 1973). Order of the Coif. Member, Chancellors (Grand Chancellor, 1972-1973). Member, Texas Law Review, 1972-1973. Member, President's National Advisory Counsel on Supplemental Services and Centers, 1973-1974. Member, Federal Regulation of Securities Committee, Section of Corporation, Banking and Business Law, American Bar Association, 1978. Law Clerk to Justice William H. Rehnquist, U.S. Supreme Court, 1974-1975.

By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff, 6/17/2003
...excerpt
O'Neill for years has declined to talk about the experience, partly because he says he became disillusioned with politics and government after the fall of Saigon in 1975.
But in a telephone interview from Texas, where he is a trial attorney, O'Neill made it clear he still harbors resentment at the way Kerry accused veterans of atrocities.
"The primary reason I got involved was I thought the charges of war crimes were irresponsible and wrong," O'Neill said. "I thought they did a real disservice to all the people that were there. I thought they were immoral."
The bitterness remains. Asked whether he agrees with the view of some observers that Kerry was forever altered by the war, O'Neill responded: "The war didn't change [Kerry]. I think he was a guy driven tremendously by ambition. I think he was that way before he went and is that way today."

Kerry is satanic, He just acted as if the debate was personal rather than issue oriented. What bs!!
The debate was very substantive. Kerry is total scum.
C-Span is showing this to further advance the "Iraq is Vietnam" line. I really don't like Kerry.

Check out my #60. I wish the firm would post pictures.

Hanoi John French Kerry was perfectly willing and accepting that the communists in Vietnam take over the country ... in fact he argues, here, that he expects the people in the south to welcome it (minus a thousand assasinations or two) and dismissed all the killing by North Vietnamese in Laos. In the 80's he supported despot regimes like Daniel Orgtega and was more than willing for the Soviets to use Nicaragua as a pacific coast base for submarines and the dredging of their port for aircraft carriers just south along the west coast of the United States. He opposed the effort to remove Saddam from Kuwait, even with UN approval and now decries the liberation of Iraq though he previously found it politically desirable to vote for it. This Cavett debate further confirms this man of pure political ambition has no conscience, no soul, no judgment and is an outright clear and present danger to the future of the United States.
Excellent analysis.

Also, did you notice that Kerry said that "the Vietnamese communists should be involved in any govvernment" in South Vietnam after the assumed withdrawal of US troops? As always, Kerry was interested in selling out US interests.

" Kerry would've been fragged by his own troops for sure if he'd been in the infantry."
Maybe he left Vietnam early because he was afraid that would happen.

Is this the same John O'Neill who got killed on 9/11?...O'Neill was on before the tape began by phone - now a Texas lawyer - did not remain politically active, but mentioned he recently donated a kidney to his wife - "what a decent man" opined the condescending Cavett, also by phone.....

It's the accent that I can't get over.
"cahn't" . .. "a lahsting peace" . . .
Lieutenant Kerry sounds like another wartime Boston Brahmin: MASH's Major Charles Emerson Winchester!!!
To: William Creel
He was a Green Beret, which I believe is army, so he couldn't have been an Anapolis graduate...actually during the interview O'Neill said that he was a graduate of the Naval Acadmy and that he served eighteen months in the same unit and at the same time as Kerry, which gave his assertions that there were no atrocities committed by those in the area, as Kerry had claimed, considerable credibility.........

Most ironic part of the whole program IMO was Kerry's pathetic mock concern for the tribe in Laos which he claimed had been reduced by fifty percent by our bombing - O'Neill rightfully corrected him by pointing out that the tribe had been fighting with us, and had been decimated by the North Vietnamese - but most importantly, I believe this is the same group which has now been reduced even further by continued persecution by the communists after the war - but Kerry himself played a major role in blocking recent attempts in the Senate to introduce resolutions which would call on those denying their rights and safety to cease and desist, because he thought it would offend the Vietnamese......

RE post 28: he sounds like, looks like, IS one. With every hideous photo of JFK that's posted, I pledge all over again to do my part to get GWB reelected.

I will do the same and hope there are many who feel as we do.

" He's using his fake Kennedy accent again."
A friend called and told me to put on C Span and I tried, I really tried to watch this phony dirtbag with his fake accent-but, I couldn't stand it.
Here's what Joe Klein wrote in the New Yorker magazine piece about Kerry and his Senate testimony :
"...there was something uneasy, and perhaps even faintly risible, about it, too, particularly the ill-disguised Kennedy playacting."
" Even as Kerry delivered his Senate testimony, he distorted his natural speech to sound more like that earlier J.F.K.; for example, he occasionally "ahsked" questions."
"This sort of thing had been a source of merriment for his classmates ever since prep school, where the joke was that his initials really stood for "Just For Kerry."

That's why I think this tape is so relevant today. The Bush people should be using this... and calling him to account for what he said then... because it's in line with everything he's said and done since... all the way up to now.
