I just watched the rerun of O'Reilly's 2001 interview with Kerry discussing the need to invade Iraq. In that interview, Kerry said the following: "I mean, I was in Safwan. I went there when the signing of the armistice took place at the end of the war." I've watched the video of the cease-fire signing at Safwan. It was still in a combat zone. I don't remember seeing anyone but military officers. Can anyone provide additional insight, or has Kerry lied again.
Did Kerry Lie? Were his lips moving?
I think he meant to say that he started packing to go to Safwan when the cease-fire was signed.
the signing of the armistice
Why can't this jerk talk right. Everybody else called it a cease-fire, including his beloved UN. Macadamia....
Kerry Frenchi:
Funny stuff:
The liberal American politician is cousin to a French politician (former Minister of Environment and candidate in 1981 presidential election), Brice Lalonde of Génération Ecologie, a small right-wing ecology movement. Their mothers (Rosemary for J. Kerry, Fiona for B. Lalonde) were sisters.
Does anyone know if John Kerry had a CAT scan this past summer when he was surfing in Nantucket?
Kerry underwent surgery for a cancerous prostate in February, but he returned to the campaign trail within weeks with a clean bill of health from his doctors.
Does anyone know if Kerry has shrapnel in his body?
See where I'm going?

If this were DU, we would all be banned.
Yeah, but he was for it... then for threatening to do it... then against actually doing it... then (currently/retrospectively) for it. ("Nuance" deleted.)
I wasn't even going to bother paying the lousy $2.95 to get the copy from the Globe, but I wanted to see if Kerry was named in it and the extent of the article. I couldn't believe he had to bring up Vietnam. What a dolt! I'd also like to know if the creep ever bothered to help the soldiers with their mail delivery problem. Somehow I doubt it.
We all know why he went there. It was to bask in the glory of the victory. He's like the critters in the Little Red Hen story. Everybody refuses to help her make her bread, but then when it's baked, they're the first ones in line for finished product.
You know, this started out as only mildly embarrassing -- an exaggeration of his participation in the signing of the armistice -- but now it looks like another ultimate flip-flop. He voted against the war, but hen just had to be their to take credit for the victory.
But there is a much darker side. Kerry's faction was responsibility for the decision not to protect the Shiites, a decision that cost tens of thousands of lives.
Shrapnel?
On the Bob Grant radio show on WOR in NY, I heard that Kerry passes through airport metal detectors without setting off the alarm.
Can anyone confirm?
One of the main problems Liberals have with running campaigns, let alone Wars and Presidencies; is they are incapable of delegating. They have been programed to believe that the Centralized Planning Model is the only way to organize. This is why they believe that the Gummit is better at spending our money than we are. When they become Candidates for a national office like President they cannot take advice and have their hands on everything. The reports of Yaaaawn writing his own boring run-on speeches is proof of that weakness.
No political advisor equipped with two firing brain cells would have told Yaaaaawn to go out and attack the Prime Minister of Iraq. This is a truly historic disgrace of epic proportions. Kerry went out on his own because the PM gave him a minor shot about Yaaaawn always downplaying our successes and turning them into failures to the benefit of our enemies. In response Kerry goes nuts and accuses the Leader of a newly born Country a liar...Monumental!! Nobody on that Rubber Bus would have suggested anybody do this. Only the knee-jerk; heavy on the jerk, main Candidate.
Prime Minister Allawi is a man of integrity and bravery that can is matched by very few men in World History. This man defied Saddamn and received an axe to the head. He is number 1 on the Terrorist hit parade in a country filled with terrorist scum attracted like moths to a zapper. His death will bring a month long celebration in this turd century pit, and Kerry has the nerve to degrade and disrespect this hero? This amounts to calling Lech Walesa or the Pope lying cowards in Poland during the Soviet crackdown.
How can he do this utterly despicable action. Easy, he hates America and it’s closest allies! During Vietnam, which is his entirety; he called the South Vietnamese Govt a puppet of the United States. He vilified and degraded that Govt when we were winning the war while he professed the Communists in N. Vietnam the liberators and freedom fighters. The liberators ended up murdering over 10 million civilians after Kerry coerced "Peace with Honor". So attacking Iraq’s new Govt is his first step. His strategy is to disgrace the bravery of the country’s interim officials who are being murdered for taking their stand for Freedom.
His next step in Vietnam was to attack our soldiers after he declared the newly formed Govt illegitimate. He declared the war illegal and “the wrong war, at the wrong time in the wrong place”. If the war is wrong than it follows that our soldiers are fighting the wrong war. This is his seditious strategy and why he was called a traitor then, and is a traitor now. And yes Yaaaawn we are questioning your patriotism, which is what you do to people who are betraying their country for their own benefit.
If this man will not stand shoulder to shoulder to a statuesque MAN like Allawi than who will he stand with. Allawi is the George Washington of Iraq. The only difference was Washington had to fight the British and Benedict Arnold, while Allawi has to fight barbaric terrorists from a dozen neighboring scorpion nests. Kerry doesn’t understand the honor and history of freeing 25 million people from a tyrant who had already killed nearly a half million people, and he will never will. The leaders John Kerry has stood shoulder to shoulder were Ho Chi Min 10 million murders, Lenin-Gorbachev 50 million murders, Mao Tse Tung 70 million murders, Fidel Castro 1 million murders, Daniel Ortega 20,000 murders, Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge 5 million murders, Yasser Arafat 1000s of murders. John Kerry’s respected leaders do have a pattern which helps explain his admiration for Saddamn’s killing fields.
Prime Minister Allawi just doesn’t have the numbers it takes for Yaaaawn Cut and Run Kerry’s respect.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Safwan Airport was under Saddam Hussein's control
Swartz & his officers were there with Saudia Arabian Gulf-Coalition officers and troops
I do not believe under and circumstances would Gen. Swartz or his men have allowed and dingbat politicians into a chopper or convoy for a cheap photo op or "fact-finding" BS
I'd say Swartz and his men need to be contacted by Vets groups and some Republican politicians pronto -
"B-1 Bob" Dornan has a way of getting military info - Ollie North, Gary Aldrich, our FReepers that are SwiftVets and Vets, a number of FReeper PI's, etc. -
John "V" Kerry is a crazy man as we see once more a fabricated story involving the military again and how big a deal he is -
Dangerous is putting it lightly - Kerry just talks and good people die! -
35+ years of traitorous egotistical self-serving activities -
The media bought it in 2001 as Bill O'Reilly also must have -
Kerry depends like the Clintons on stalling, a whoring radical leftie media for PR and protection from exposure and a public that forgets over time -
Recall in 1991 Kerry sent two "form letters" to one Massacussetts voter
#1 - Backing President George HW Bush and the Gulf War after voting against it!
#2 - Opposing President George HW Bush and the Gulf War after voting against it!
Kerry then blamed his staff and probably his computer program, a Secret Service man, President Nixon, and of course, GW Bush and all the Vets that were in Nam except his bribed swiftboat crew.
(They were all transferred to safe non-combat area duty when he Cut & Ran I understand!)
This needs to be investigated and verified quickly and put on Bill O'Reilly, Hannity & Colmes, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Matt Drudge, Newsmax, Hugh Hewitt, Laura Ingraham, Monica Crowley, G Gordon Liddy and more
Washington Times; ABC and Washington Post after Rathergate will go with it -
In about 40 days John Kerry will not be able to call his Secret Service agents SOBs!
Then John can tell me his old war stories -
1. Determine the date on whcih the cease fire was signed.
2. Use any computerized calendar to go back to that year and check to see if it was an ordinary week day.
3. If it was, then go to the Congressional website and research any legislation and/or senate votes that day. If Kerry was present in the senate, he would have recorded votes, or perhaps might have made a speech from the floor, and that would be in the Congressional Record.
This reasearch would take a bit of time and patience, but it could reveal what you are looking for -- proof positive that Kerry was in Washington. On the other hand, if the day the cease fire was a holiday, weekend, or a day when congress was not in session for some other reason, then it would be far more difficult to determine where Kerry was on that day. We'd need access to his schedule for that day. If it still exists, it would be among his personal/office papers somewhere.
Not to defend Kerry, but to open up all possibilities that may explain this statement: was there a second signing where representatives of Hussein's Government signed the United Nation Accords that placed sanctions on Iraq and limitations on oil exports, military movements etc.? I believe the ceremony in question involved military matters alone, and that further conventions needed to be agreed to before Coalition troops departed Iraq. As a Senator in the majority party Kerry may have been at such a signing.
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who
scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some
grains of wheat. She called her neighbours and said,
"If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat.
Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will", said the little red hen, and she did.
The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain.
"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red
hen.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the
goose.
"Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help
me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.
"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learnt how," said the pig.
"If I'm the only helper, that's discrimination," said
the goose.
"Then I will," said the little red hen. She baked five
loaves and held them up for her neighbours to see.
They all wanted - in fact demanded a share. But the
little red hen said, "No, I can eat the loaves by
myself."
"Excess profits!" yelled the cow.
"Capitalist leech!" yelled the duck.
"I demand equal rights!" shouted the goose.
The pig just grunted. Then they hurriedly painted
"unfair" picket signs and marched around, shouting
obscenities. The government agent came and said to the
little red hen: "You must not be greedy." "But I
earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly,"
said the agent. That is the wonderful free-enterprise
system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he
wants. But under government regulations, the
productive workers must divide their product with the
idle."
They all lived happily ever after. But the little red
hen's neighbours wondered why she never again baked
bread.
