In the campaign’s final days, Kerry continues to claim that Bush “outsourced” the job of going after bin Laden in Tora Bora (search) to Afghan warlords. But the Democrat’s charge rankles not only retired Gen. Tommy Franks, a strong Bush supporter on the campaign trail, but also Army special forces soldiers who say they searched for bin Laden in Tora Bora’s treacherous mountains.

I have a family member serving and I'm insulted for him.
Kerry hates the military just like most of the other Rats. Look at all the self-loathing he did when he got back from Vietnam.
Don't get me started...
According to Kerry, they aren't even over there in an honorable fashion, since they aren't under the command of Kofi Onan.
That whole Tora Bora comment has enraged me from the start. I do have a question from earlier. What is DU???
I am new here
Oh yeah, I forgot:
It's okay to die under a U.N. flag but not under a lone American flag.
Gee, as long as France says it's ok, I don't mind sending my son to war.
God, what would these people have said in the run-up to WWII? After Pearl Harbor? They have no convictions, no strength of soul.
I'm new, too, and was wondering the same thing.
Dummies?
Democratic Union?
Kerry's accusation is shameless and repulsive. It was Bill Clinton who vetoed a CIA plan to bomb Osama because the camp where the satellite spotted him included Yemeni diplomats. Nevermind the fact that they were training as terrorists. Clinton, Albright, Berger, and just about everyone who held a position during the Eight Years' Tyranny ought to be tried for treason.

I think this is something the Bush campaign hasn't said nearly enough. The soldiers are for Bush by almost a 3-1 margin according to some polls I've seen. What's going to happen to the war effort and morale if ol' anti-war John Kerry, who has been backhandedly bashing our troops for 6 months, get in office?
Of course they should.
But the case is even stronger for Kerry, who met secretly with the VietCong twice in Paris.
Can you even being to imagine the field day the press would be having with Bush right now if he and Kerry's records were switched? It would be cataclysmal.
Thanks
DU is short for DemocraticUnderground.org. Basically it's Free Republic for the Left, and the quality of the website is almost as bankrupt as the ideas expressed.
Okay, got it, DU.com
Thanks!
I think the Bushies are afraid to exploit the soldiers, 9/11 or anything else Iraq-related (including latest OBL video) out of fear the MSM will go on a rampage and make Bush like an opportunist.
I'm not necessarily happy about it, but I can see how careful they must be with their words.
Sorry if this wasn't clear--
My point is that the MSM would be nailing Bush to a wall if he protested the war, threw away medals, accused fellow soldiers of war crimes, met secretly with ANYONE in Paris, etc.
Bush would've been accused, tried and convicted of treason already.
DU is Democratic Underground, a website that showcases ranting, frothing-at-the-mouth liberal extremists who mostly hate Bush and all those who have any use for him. Seems to be populated by folks who drink a steady diet of Kerry Kool-Aid. They regularly send trolls here to infiltrate and sometimes post taunting threads which are immediately Zotted by great bolts of lightening. Visit there at your own risk, makes you want to go "DUh....."
The Clintons loathed the military and they occupied the White House for eight years. Nothing would surprise me in today's USA.
I agree with you--Kerry will get too involved with the military.
He will make them "PAY" for Vietnam. He'll re-create the fantasy all those hippies from the '60's and '70's have, basically getting revenge on all the military officers and Pentagon officials by demeaning them, controlling them, berating them and stripping them of their independence and honor (as well as bravado and confidence in their training and skills, which the lefties think is arrogance and barbarianism).
This Tora Bora story has really resonated with the ignorant. My son just left after bringing my granddaughter over to Trick-or-treat. He is the general manager of a Flight School. He is a very "smart" person but he was echoing the Dem talking points about Bin Ladin, Tora Bora, Bush being stupid, being in cahoots with the Saudis, etc.
I love him dearly, but it frightens me that the Michael Moore's of the world have more respect from my son't generation than the President does. He is 26 so he isn't worried about the draft rumor, but he said "I respect the fact that one person (Moore) using his 1st Amendment rights can change the presidency of the US> I about cried. I told him he needs to go and study the l930's leading into WW11 --- he said "we are smarter now, we wouldn't let that happen".
I can't visit there. I'm stressed enough as it is.
Why fill myself with hate and drink a right-wing version of their Kool Aid? I'd rather be a rational, normal American who loves my country, not some hate-spewing freak.
Going to that site would turn me into one of THEM--just rooting for the other side.
