KERRY-TALE NO. 1 - John O'Neill is a Republican operative

===================================================

Quote from John Kerry's testimony before Congress:

I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people.

That is an interesting quote. Unfortunately, it is a lie.

Kerry claims that his first Purple Heart was earned during a nighttime patrol, when his group was attempting to stop the Vietcong from transporting contraband. In Douglas Brinkley's biography of Kerry, "Tour of Duty", Kerry describes reaching into the boat to pick up another gun after his M-16 jammed. "...

==================================

Can anyone find of photo of him with an M-16?

A shotgun slug

that clears things up - i generally think of shotguns for fowl hunting, which WOULD make a mess of things. That also explains the ability to tracka nd shoot at ground level. Here, it is usually tree stands to assure that a miss results in a "grounded" shot.

This guy is a pathological liar! He cant help himself.
Can you imagine him having the power of the Presidency in his hands.
Anyway, make no mistake about it this election is about the US Supreme Court and the Democrats control of America through the court system. Look at what they have already been able to accomplish with them not in power.
This election could quite well spell the doom of a Constitutional Republic and turn us in a Communist country or if you will they would probably want to call it Socialist which sounds better to them!

Many use a sabot - a single slug - as their load. It's quite effective against man, too. Many states won't allow anything except shotguns for deer hunting.

What's funny about his movies are that they could have been shot on Phu Quoc island, where CD11 had it's base at An Thoi. This way you could shot your movies and not have to use a boat, or expose yourself to enemy fire. There was really no location in the Cau Mau that was really safe from VC. Phu Quoc on the other hand was pretty secure.

Thanks! Things have changed a bit since I last hunted deer. I might give a shotgun a try for deer.
