Gen. Giap: Kerry's Group Helped Hanoi Defeat U.S.
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. - according to Fox News Channel war historian Oliver North.
That's why, he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face."
"People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't for these guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost," North told radio host Sean Hannity.
"The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged people to mutiny - some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers," noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts in Vietnam.
"John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands," North said.

It's probably not good enough for the crowd that requires a videotape of Saddam driving Atta to the airport on Sept 11, 2001. Kerry met with the Communists in Paris--by his own admission to Congress in 1971.
Kerry worked with Jane Fonda to slander our troops.
Kerry led Vietnam Veterans Against the War in a grotesque show trial peopled by frauds and liars.
All to the end of victory for the Communists.
Only New Soviet Men still defend him--propagandists posing as "media", "documentary film makers", or trolls.
