The question that lingers is why did O'Neill vote for algore?
thanks.. TONK :))
and delivered one with a sharply skeptical political tone. He criticized the Johnson administration for a military venture that did not advance the nation's vital interests and that effectively isolated the United States from the international community.
JF'n early support for the UN huh? The UN has become so effective that they get to oversea our elections now. Such a powerful and formidable agency(Sarcasm)
I take it there was a blood bath. I wasn't born yet when this was happening and I don't remember hearing alot about Vietnam in history class.
He criticized the ****BUSH***** administration for a military venture that did not advance the nation's vital interests and that effectively isolated the United States from the international community.
Kerry uses Peter Arnett as proof:
"PULITZER PRIZE WINNING REPORTER..."
BWAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!
Fast forward to the twenty-first century, where Jerry Springer is welcomed at the Democratic National Convention and thought to have a decent chance at being elected to Congress in Ohio.
" I wish we could get into the issues"- Kerry
"I hope you'll certainly appear with me on the large number of shows that have offered.."- O'Neil
I think the swiftvets should challenge, O/Neill specifically, to meet to debate him again using this last segment.
The question that lingers is why did O'Neill vote for algore?
If this is so, then his criticism of JF'n should carry even more weight.
It's still a good question tho.
Over a million died FRiend. Thousands upon thousands fled.
I just posted a thread on that; I'll ping ya!
I would like to know if this is true as well. Does anyone know if the "man above him" was relieved of duty and if they were rotating people in as Kerry alleged because there was near mutiny and refusal to follow orders?
On another note, Kerry's final slap, "I wish we could get into the issues," says a lot about him. He seems to believe he can tell any lie or push any propaganda without being called on it. His issue was to get out of Viet Nam and any lie to put that on the agenda could be so told in his mind. It's exactly what the left continues to do today.
'Kerry is classically drawn as How a Senator Should Look: He is 6 feet 4 and slim with a helmet of brownish-silver hair, high and knobby cheekbones and a surgically enhanced chin -- not cosmetic surgery, contrary to speculation. (The operation, says Kerry press secretary David Wade, was to correct "a malocclusion," a bad bite that caused a clicking in his jaw.)'
Wow, I'd take the day off to watch that one! Great idea.
Scarry how relevant the 1971 debate is today .... just change the country names!!!!!!
to meet to debate him again using this last segment.
Did he? That's a bit odd.
Sounds like Jimmy Carter critizing Reagan's ideal of defeating communism (which Kerry was no doubt against)...or Bush #1's ideal of liberating Kuwait (which Kerry was against)...or W's ideal of liberating Iraq (which Kerry was against, then for, then against, then for...kind of).
