John Kerry burned the midnight oil on the phone with Democrat members of the Senate Armed Services Committee last night. He pleaded with them to go lightly on Donald Rumsfeld when the Secretary of Defense appears before them today at around noon. Rumsfeld is scheduled to answer their questions about allegations of abuse by US soldiers against Iraqi prisoners and the ensuing investigation.
The photos of those alleged cases of abuse have enraged the Arab world. And Democrat bigs on the Armed Services Committee have called for Rumsfleds head.
But according to our source inside the Kerry campaign, John Kerry badly wants the issue to go away. Kerry fears the longer the issue stays in the news, the greater the likelihood his controversial accusations of war crimes committed by US soldiers in Vietnam including his own will become an ancillary issue in the campaign for President. The 9-11 Commission is already going to discredit Bush in their report. If we push things too far, there is bound to be a backlash, our source told us. Tonights cable news talk shows were proof. Virtually every one of them ran footage of John Kerry in 1971 trashing his fellow veterans and admitting atrocities.
Our source told us that the Democrat Senate Caucus had originally planned to rake Rumsfeld over the coals at todays hearing, but that Kerry wanted them to tone it down. Kerry had heated phone conversations with at least two key Democrats on the Armed Services Committee, demanding to know of one, Why are you trying to fk me on this?
No word yet on whether Kerry was successful in persuading his fellow Democrats to go easy on Rumsfeld or not. I guess well just have to stay tuned to the hearings.

The photos of those alleged cases of abuse have enraged the Arab world. Is the Arab world enraged again?!? Every day there is something in the news about how enraged the Arab world is. It seems they are going to burst a collective blood vessel, they are getting so enraged. How much more enraged can they get? The only time it seems that they are happy is when events like 9/11 occur. At some point, you would think the press would realize that it is no longer news that the Arab world is enraged. Something that happens every day is not news.

Who is this "source" in the KErry campaign, and why would he talk to a website called "crushkerry.com"?

You would think someone is writing this scriptTerry McAWFULiffe and The Entire Clinton Machine are writing this RAT script. Nancy Pelosi said yesterday "...Mr. Rumsfeld MUST resign..." She didn't think of that herself which I'm sure you are aware. Because the Democrats stand for nothing, the only way they can get back the power they believe they deserve, is to consistently use the Saul Alinsky model of practicing intense and confrontational politics.The Clinton White House adhered to Alinsky's rule that "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon" for 8 long years and Hillary is teaching Nancy Pelosi some of his other advice, such as to "let nothing get you off your target." Again, they stand for nothing, so what else can they possibly do,except like Saul taught her, "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." This is all what the Democratic Party stands for, obtaining Power through any means necessary.

To: Zack Nguyen
Well if we told you who it was they wouldn't be a "source" now would they? And the reasons for talking are entirely that person's.
And it does look like the source was right for the most part.

I suggest you put some ice on it Mr. Kerry.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Baghdad Jim McDermott's name was there." McDermott's isn't.
But the guy who escorted him to Baghdad is. al-Khafaji was also a heavy hitter on McDermott's list of campaign contributors.
Hmmmmmm...

You would think someone is writing this scriptDaniel 2:
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

I wouldn't vote for him either, but I am still shocked that he stated on the record, his disgust for the media and risking soldiers lives... I never expected him to "slam dunk" his idiotic party... it just came across as it was ridiculous to even slam our country. There is evil out there that makes these pics PALE in comparison...
