Powerlineblog.org: We Just Got A Tip (Breaking Story on Kerry?)
Powerline ^ | 10/23/04

Posted on 10/23/2004 9:53:20 AM PDT by freespirited

We just got a tip......that a major newspaper will break a front-page story Monday morning that could create a serious problem for the Kerry campaign. We don't yet have any details, but it relates to a foreign policy issue, and it will call into question--amazingly enough--John Kerry's truthfulness.

We'll watch for the story Sunday night and post it as soon as it becomes available.

I wouldn't put any stock in that. It's pretty obvious it's a parody.

That has to be a parody. I don't know that releasing such a report as "bin laden is dead" would fly. The democrats would counter that the WMD issue has already shown that you can't trust intelligence reports.

Yeah I keep wondering - is the RNC holding onto it for this week and why the Swift Boat Vets and POWS for truth never mentioned it yet.....

after all the guy who broke the story Sydney Schanberg won the Pullitzer Prize, was a Vietnam war correspondent, definitely not a pro Bushie, he thought Kerry was a great choice but then was completely disillusioned - he accuses Kerry of a coverup and shredding classified documents and basically abandoning his band of brothers who remained in Vietnam

and I haven't heard a single peep about Kerry suing Schanberg, whose written at least two articles on the subject matter in full detail

go the Village Voice website and look under Schanberg's name or When John Kerry's Courage Went MIA

the only reasons I can think of was Cheney was Secretary of Defence at the time and John McCain was a member of that Committee but everyone knows the Chairman sets the pace

whoever said WaPo would be the source of any October Surprise vs Kerry, are you kidding me, they just endorsed Kerry for President

Washington Times is much more likely to be the source. Several blogs saying it's the Times, although the original Powerline article does not say which paper, only that it is a "major" paper.

Early voting is the reason to drop the bomb on Monday.

but this is part of a pattern of Kerry's,
start with Paris, another post here on freep today noted that Kerry had gone to Nicaguara without authority to talk to Ortega during the Iran Contra affair and that he was in fact left off a subsequent committee on the issue because Kerry had pissed others off....

Bush says bin Laden likely dead; A stunned John Kerry replies: "Oh, f***. Really?"

This is from a political satire site.

According to C-Span, interview w/ Burkett, there's going to be a report about Kerry's military service.....

If this is true...

This could be the October Surprise that kills John Kerry by a margin of 50 states.

John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate, is being given money by an Albanian terrorist organization known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA or UCK in Albanian).

The KLA is currently smuggling weapons into Kosovo as part of a plot to attack American and other UN peacekeepers, should the UN Security Counsel refuse their demand for Kosovo's secession from Serbia and Montenegro.

In order to fully understand the significance of John Kerry's involvement with the KLA it is first necessary to understand what sort of an organization the KLA is. The KLA is a terrorist organization with ties to Osama bin Laden and the Iranian government. The KLA's main objective is to break Kosovo, which has been an integral part of Serbia for centuries, away from Serbia.
KLA have prior links to the Democrats and extensive links to terrorism - they invited the KLA leader to attend the DNC. KLA's terrorist activities and one of its members going to a John Kerry fundraiser can be seen through a Dutch documentary that can be seen here. The US Government has labelled KLA a terrorist organisation, and some of their members are facing charges for war crimes. A Washington Times article from 1999 (deleted, but also linked here) outlined the relationship of KLA and Al-Qaeda, plus Clinton's support of the KLA. More articles on the KLA's radical ideology and workings can be found here.

But back to the documentary - 11:08 into the video, we see KLA recruiter and illegal immigrant Florin Krasniqi at a John Kerry fundraiser with a few other KLA members. Then the defining moment - the KLA terrorists are shown, on video, financially contributing to the John Kerry campaign. Shortly afterwards, the video shows Democrats Wesley Clark and Richard Holbrooke having a nice laugh with the terrorists.

A quick check of Fundrace.org found that Florin Krasniqi has donated to the Kerry campaign, and that Florin Krasniqi has raised 30 million for KLA, who we have already established is a terrorist organisation.

This could be devastating to the Kerry campaign, so if you're reading this, I'm begging you - e-mail your favourite blogs, with this information - send them the link to this page and ask them to research it for themselves. And if it breaks in the bigger blogs - LGF, Powerline, Right Wing News, National Review's The Corner, Blogs For Bush and Instapundit come to mind - then we need to get this to people like Drudge, Sean Hannity, Brit Hume etc.

UPDATE: Welcome all Captain's Quarters readers. Captain Ed from that site makes a great point, that should be mentioned: "Does that mean that Kerry actively seeks the support of terrorists and their cash? I highly doubt it, although if true the Kosovars' access to Kerry shows a complete lack of vetting by his foreign-policy staff. Richard Holbrooke should know better than to be taking money from people connected to organizations designated as possible terror groups by the DHS." This is very true - it's not Kerry's fault they donated to support him, but this cannot look good no matter how you spin it. '...

Thank you for posting this. It explains what I was trying to say about the video. If this isn't the subject of the Wa Times article, it should be. This is much more important than Kerry claims that he met with the members of the security council. Besides, Kerry might have had Holbrooke and Clarke meet with them, just like they met with the KLA.

If true then expect something to come out of the campaign Wedneday to help kick start it.

I think Bush should appeal to the blue collar and older tradtional democratic voters by telling them it is ok not to vote democratic. Tell them GOP is a big tent and we want everyone under it. Tell them he knows how hard it is to switch sides but they have to for the war on terror.

Some of the democratic voters feel guilty about not voting for kerry so we to give them some moral support to switch sides. Zell Miller has been doing this to the "down home" southern vote but we President Bush to do it to all across the country.

I was told a few months ago that the veterans have a full copy of Kerry's file and that it would be used when the time was right. I never knew whether to believe it or not.

Do you think it could be a video of Kerry pissing on and burning the flag from the Vietnam era?
