TRANSCRIPT: John O'Neill's Remarks Regarding John Kerry on Wolf Blitzer's Show Today

CNN: Wolf Blizter ^ | April 20, 2004

[Howlin]

BLITZER: Under pressure from Republicans and the news media, John Kerry's campaign today said it's working to release the Democratic presidential candidate's Vietnam-era military records and put them on his campaign Web site.

Kerry's long public career has been linked to Vietnam since the very beginning. He first rose to public prominence as an opponent of the war.

Will CNN replay it later?

[Freedom2specul8]

[Howlin]

I hope you saw this guy; he was INTENSE! And dead serious.

I was listening to Michael Savage. He said Kerry announced his new policy on terrorism today. I guess I missed any news of it.

Anyway, Kerry apparently said terrorists should be treated like perpetrators of crimes. Their apprehension should be more of a law enforcement than WoT issue. Kerry would have the terrorists served with subpoenas and require them to appear in court.

[I haven't seen any news wire reports of this. If it is true, the WoT will effectively end if Kerry is elected. And the WoT battlefield will move from Afghanistan and Iraq to Omaha, Cleveland, Denver and other parts of the US.]

Thanks, Howlin!

BLITZER: John O'Neill, thanks very much for joining us on this very, very sensitive subject.

Not just a sensitive, but a *very, very* sensitive subject.

So, back to the good old days?

BLITZER: Do you know anything about this book...

Never got an answer on the question of the alleged book, did you, Wolf? Wonder you would find if you researched that one?

And he did join the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. It was a group of thoughtful people, moderate people who wanted to end the war.

They only wanted to assassinate the five or six most hawkish US Senators, not all of them.

O'Neill: ~ "Why are we coming forward? Because we were there. We know the truth and we know that this guy (Kerry) is unfit to be the commander in chief."

O'Neill is a true American hero.

BLITZER: Do you know anything about this book that Mr. O'Neill referred to in which he says that Kerry basically humiliated or debased the U.S. military? MEEHAN: Well, I think there are a lot of charges that went back and forth. This was a very difficult time for this country in Vietnam, the time around Vietnam, continuing the war for year after year. And John Kerry had seen a lot in his time over there, four years in the Navy. And he earned the right to come back and say, we've got to come and stop this war. And he did join the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. It was a group of thoughtful people, moderate people who wanted to end the war. It's people who have gone on to fight for Agent Orange relief, to go on and fight for veterans' benefits. It's been 30 years that these people have gone and worked to help restore the honor to our veterans now that they are back. And Kerry is quite proud of his time that he served in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

Uhh..the book, sir? The question was, Do you know anything about this book that Mr. O'Neill referred to??

BTW, I'm reading a book called Fraud of the Century, about the 1876 campaign and election. The Republicans were well-know to "wave the bloody shirt" during that time, and I'm sure everyone hear can figger out what that means - and who's waving the bloody thing now...

How do you run simultaneously on platform planks of "The terror threat is overrated," and "Bush didn't do enough to stop 9-11?"

Look Here for the book: The New Soldier
