exactly so if Schanberg is dissing Kerry you'd think the lefties or liberal press if not the conservative press would have picked up on this, because then again not like the lefties would care if a bunch of POWs were abandoned...
I've just figured it out, the VC did manage to brainwash McCain, maybe they implanted a chip in his brain, LOL
they didn't even have to bother with a chip for Kerry
I was just re-reading the Dick Cavett debate between Kerry and O Neill, how anyone can think Kerry won especially in hindsight is amazing..

my fav exchange is when Cavett mentions if a US withdrawal will result in a bloodbath and O Neill says if it is premature and not done carefully there will indeed be a bloodbath and Kerry pooh poohs that assertion :
MR. KERRY: The true fact of the matter is, Dick, that there's absolutely no guarantee that there would be a bloodbath. There's no guarantee that there wouldn't. One has to, obviously, conjecture on this. However, I think the arguments clearly indicate that there probably wouldn't be.
First of all, if you read back historically, in 1950 the French made statements – there was a speech made by, I think it was General LeClerc, that if they pulled out, France pulled out, then there would be a bloodbath. That wasn't a bloodbath. The same for Algeria. There hasn't been.
I think that it's really kind of a baiting argument. There is no interest on the part of the North Vietnamese to try to massacre the people once people have agreed to withdraw. There's just no pur- –[purpose] wrong John boy, wrong!!!
in fact ironic given this thread, they are arguing about prisoners of war as well and you can see O Neill cares more than Kerry about the band of brothers, IMO
