The worm has turned.
Wow! It is really the Washington Post???
Good article. Good post.
The only thing ever seared into Kerry's memory was the first time he saw the bottom figure in Theresa checkbook.
I bet he can tell you that figure with accuracy.
Is this an editorial or a news article? Have not logged-in to the Post.
Joshua Muravchik is the author of "Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism". In it he discusses various socialist societies and how each on of them has failed. It's an excellent book.
"I SMELL SMOKE! PULL THAT TURKEY OUT OF THE OVEN, IT's BURNING!"
BWHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAH!
John Fuggin sKerry, loser, Election 2004.
Dim-o-wit Party crumbles.
America rejoices.
Unbelieveable coming from the WP.
If -- as seems almost surely the case -- Kerry himself has lied about what he did in Vietnam, and has done so not merely to spice his biography but to influence national policy, then he is surely not the kind of man we want as our president.
Truly amazing, considering the source!
"The banks of the [Rach Giang Thanh River] whistled by as we churned out mile after mile at full speed. On my left were occasional open fields that allowed us a clear view into Cambodia. At some points, the border was only fifty yards away and it then would meander out to several hundred or even as much as a thousand yards away, always making one wonder what lay on the other side." His curiosity was never satisfied, because this entry was from Kerry's final mission.
Precisely. And that is why this is no small fabrication to be laughed off with a wink and a nudge. It was a wholesale indictment of American military policy... based on an incursion that never happened. That is damnable and damning.
This was no 'fog of war' incident, no mental lapse, no confusion, no slip of the memory. This was a deliberately concocted story, repeated on many occasions over the course of many years.
There are, unfortunately, many Vietnam vets who embellish their experience there. Some to make their lives sound more exciting and some, like Kerry, to gain false glory.
The difference between the others and Kerry is that most don't run for president and have their tales vetted by a thousand journalists. Kerry's story is false, wholly made up. He should admit to it rather than keep on insulting our intelligence.
The a-holes have figured out that the Vietnam Veteran's Against the War HERO is a loser. Time to jump overboard, so to speak.
Strange that this appeared in the Washington Post. Are the rats fleeing the sinking Swift Boat?
Where is the DNC cover up machine? Why are they not cleaning up after Kerry, and silencing the witnesses?
The other charges always had an element of he said/she said, but the Cambodia thing always seemed like a crock.
"...telling the American people that I was not there..."
Because you WEREN'T, Johnny...
Only page A17 though. I'll be more shocked when this makes A2 or A1. Burying it just guarantees fewer will read it, but lets the WaPo put up a remote appearance of balance.
I've heard the clintoons' are behind trashing Kerry.
Well that youthfulness and fever that the WP and Kerry were all caught up in cost AMERICAN LIVES.
This was not a game. This was a war against the growth of Communism in Southeast Asia. Millions died at hands of the butchers that took over after we, with the help of John Friggin Kerry and the Washington Post" walked away from a war that could have been and should have been won.
Here is my message to the youthful and feverish Washington Post. Time to grow up.
