This is absolutely true.

I am glad Bush is coming right out and pointing it out.

Kerry is doing, what he did before during his anti-war days: giving aid and comfort to the enemy.


A quote from an excellent article posted by FireTrack:

"Retired Maj. Gen. George S. Patton III, who had commanded combat troops in Vietnam, said that, medals or no medals, by the nature of his wartime protests Kerry gave "aid and comfort to the enemy" in the style of Ramsey Clark and Jane Fonda. "Mr. Kerry probably caused some of my guys to get killed," Patton said, even as he self-deprecatingly acknowledged shortcomings of his own as a commander. "And I don't like that. There is no soap ever invented that can wash that blood off his hands."

Responding to controversy over his remarks, Patton wrote in the Worcester Evening Gazette, "The dissent against our efforts in that unhappy war, as exemplified by Mr. Kerry, and of course others, made the soldier's duties even more difficult. ... These incidents caused our opponent, already highly motivated, to fight harder against us and our Vietnamese allies. Hence the comment made by me which included the provision of 'aid and comfort to the enemy' by Mr. Kerry."

Based on what I have read about Kerry, I'm convinced that he will do anything or say anything to further his cause without regard to damages to America.

Thats exactly right. Bush needs to tell it like is and Kerry should be ashamed of himself saying this stuff while the country is at war. He is doing nothing but emboldening the terrorists. This guy has serious issues and needs to be put in his place fast before he gets our guys killed.

Kerry is doing exactly the same thing he did in 1971 against the troops in Vietnam.

Every day America sees that the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth are telling the truth.

Kerry will get hundreds of Americans killed, in Iraq and here, in America!

"We all want the mission to be completed as quickly as possible, but we want the mission to be complete," Bush told an "Ask President Bush" event here.

"The mission is not going to be completed as quickly as possible if the enemy thinks we're going to removing a substantial number of troops in six months," he said.

Tell it like it is W and if they don't like it, tough crap.

Let us hope that Kerry's message here doesn't embolden Al-Queda to try to assist him in becoming the next President. I'm not sure if Kerry wouldn't appreciate the assist I'm sad to say.

CBS news at the top of the hour reported Bush saying, "Never give your war plan to the enemy." Kerry has now telegraphed his war plan for Iraq (we're leaving) and Iran (we're going to call your bluff and give you nuclear material). I wonder what he's going to tell North Korea?

THIS IS AMAZING!
Let the press try to spin this!

C'mon now. You're distorting Kerry's words.

Kerry clearly said he will be sending additional troops to Iraq while at the same time bringing troops home.

There now. Get it!!

So stop distorting the facts.

Sheez! Some people just don't understand English.

(psyche)

Bush sought to undercut Kerry's war-leadership credentials, accusing the Democratic presidential candidate of sending mixed signals over Iraq.

President Bush hasn't "accused" the Democrat presidential candidate of anything....he's simply restated Miss Kerry's multiple positions.

Good for you. Not much difference between a spy or
Traitor, so, you won't be missing that target at all.

Just that Kerry in his 'bunny suit' in the middle of all those Burkas looks like a spy!

<< Kerry will get hundreds of Americans killed, in Iraq and here, in America! >>

Kerry is with and of the enemy -- has always been so -- and could care less about adding more dead and maimed Americans to the the many thousands already on his hands -- and the millions of Cambodians and Vietnamese.

Take a good look at Kerry while you have the chance. [And, come to that the entire modern "DemocRAT" pack]

He [And it] will soon be swirled down history's drain -- and meanwhile it is not often that one gets to gaze upon pure and unadulterated evil.

swirled down historys drain.

will the water rotate the waste clockwise or counter clockwise? im guessing counter clockwise because the pos will be hiding out below the equaitor probably down there with one of his forgien leaders in venizualia that supports him.

I do think the onion is pealing quite well. Kerry is self-destructing....just enough rope to hang his campaign, and the rats as well!!!

Nothing like a good hanging to put the fear of the Republic back into the hearts of the narsarsistic oligarchy we've allowed to fester in Washington.
