Hang your heads in shame!

You remain silent while Hanoi Kerry betrays our troops to our enemies.

So when you wake up in the morning,
and look in the mirror,
before you go to the US Senate,
or to the TV or Radio studios,
know that you did nothing to remove this traitor.

Well REAL Americans know what you did NOT do!

Kerry bashes US policy in meeting w/ leader of foreign group opposed to US

"Former U.S. presidential candidate Senator John Kerry (D-MA), an election observer,
leaves the office of Mahmoud Abbas, in the West Bank city of Ramallah in this
January 10, 2005 file photo. Middle East countries are frustrated by U.S. policy in
Iraq and feel too little is being done to end violence there, U.S. Senator John Kerry
said on January 12, 2005 on a visit to the region. Kerry repeatedly criticized the
Bush administration's Iraq policy during his failed bid to win the U.S. presidency
from George W. Bush, who led the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein."

Hanoi Kerry is NOT a legitimate US Senator.

Never has been!

The traitor is doing the same thing he has always done.

Aiding the enemy!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

And surely the opinions and frustrations felt by this officer are echoed throughout all our military branches participating in the current SASO in Iraq. Dan Rather and the likes of him have become the defacto standard in journalism. If the L/MSM wanted to, they could flood the TV news and newspapers with thousands of thousands of good news stories as what our troops have done in that land for the past two years. It is against their principals to do this. They have agendas that do not include promoting the United States of America, quite the otherwise.

Over and over again, it is reconfirmed to me just how wrong morons likc Chris Mathews are and the damage they are doing to our national security. May they all rot in Purgatory, or Teluride, or ... somewhere in Colorado. Nah, too good for them. Send them to Lebanon.

Worth repeating!

Of course, it would take courage to stand up to the media wh*res and actually accuse them and John Fraud Kerry of treason. Most of our politicians seem to have checked their courage at the door when they entered D.C.

This focus on the enemy's successes strengthens his resolve and aids and abets his cause. It's the American image abroad that suffers in the end.

Leftist papers like the Baltimore Sun and the Wash Post could headline a murder in their city almost every day. Of course they don't. Their visceral dislike of everything conservative has them in the aid and comfort to the enemy camp...right along with the 'rat leadership. Having Bush fail seems to trump everything for them.

I remember a couple of weeks ago when a building in Minnesota blew up [natural gas was suspected as cause]. The truly lame media had the following report about the incident:

Calls to the building did not go through.

If it is MSM, one of the M's has got to stand for Morons.

"Can't understand why this thread is not receiving more interest bump!."
Perhaps many are so saturated with so much info presented at this site they hardly know where to begin. And to converse,debate on five or six posts at the same time can get a bit weary at times.
Great article. Views have been expressed in many other articles written by our military folks, and by how should we say, conservative oriented journalist.

"GREAT ARTICLE, BUT IT DOESNT ANSWER THE BIG QUESTION- WHY?
that is the enduring mystery to me- why."

If your statement elucidates the question, why the L/MSM does not provide a balanced view of how many good things have happened in Iraq during the SASO phase. I think it is has a simple answer.
Answer: They are fearful that Americans may get the idea that what GWB started, may bear good fruit. They fear greatly that a strong Republican POTUS took the proper route, and that any good news counters what the slimmy liberal left politicians keep trying to do. That is. Make GWB look bad. Why? Because they have an agenda, and that is to deceive by whatever means Americans into wanting to elect liberal left wingers to the presidency. So why does the L/MSM constitute a body of deceiving often far left liberal social point of view? Tis a very long story.

It is easier to spot bias in articles than it is to measure bias in the absence of reporting.

So I always try to read this:

http://chrenkoff.blogspot.com/

Right side of the page carries the Good News from Iraq and Afghanistan updated biweekly.

God Bless our troops and Ryan.
