Regarding Senator John Kerry's comments this morning (November 19, 2005) on Good Morning America's Weekend edition, where he said of President Bush and the War in Iraq, "What we need is a little more commander-in-chief, and a little less campaigner-in-chief,”...let's see, Mr. Kerry, President Bush took us to war in Iraq as the Commander in Chief. In the midst of that war, he defeated you in a presidential election where this very issue was the principle part of the deabte...and he defeated you with the largest voter turnout in the history of this country, by a clear majority. In that time and since, our military and diplomats, under his command and leadership, have:
No, Mr. Kerry, your lame attempts to paint this historical mission and tremendous victory in negative terms and throw that negativity on the very leader who had the foresight and the commitment, in the face of abject corrupt opposition abroad and here at home, do not "carry" (or should that be "Kerry") any weight of moral certitude whatsoever. These attempts by yourself and others to try and use your political position to influence us to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory and, "cut and run", are nothing Moore than odorous political gas passing in the wind.
- Completed the fastest, most effective military advance in military history.
- Defeated the 4th or 5th largest military in the world in quick fashion.
- Freed 30 million people from abject tyranny.
- Deposed one of the most ruthless tyrants of the last fifty years, along with his Ba'athist party.
- Destroyed all attempts by the remaining Ba'athists and their terrorist allies to regain the upper hand, killing the tyrant's two sons and capturing him in the process.
- Secured the vast majority of the nation and handed sovereignty back to the Iraqi people on schedule.
- Held the 2nd largest, freest vote in Iraqi history to vote on their own interim government, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
- Had the interim Iraqi government develop and introduce a republican constitution on schedule, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
- Held the largest free vote in Iraqi history to approve the constitution that the interim government proposed, with even the Sunni minority now participating in that vote, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
- Assisted the Iraqis themselves in putting the former tyrant on trial for his crimes.
- Are preparing for what will undoubtedly be the new largest vote in Iraqi history to elect their own government under their new constitution, again, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
- Trained an Iraqi military that is now actively taking major support and lead roles in fighting for their own free nation against their terrorist enemies, losing many more of their own lives, and spilling more of their own blood in that process than our own soldiers.
Time to say it like it is.
Good one bump
I'm sick of hearing these people using our military and cutting them down in this historic mission for their own political gain.
Excellent post.
We need billboards everywhere with this message so the windbag Dems will begin to stop the global warming from their hot air.
Kerry ought to take his own advice and stop campaigning. The election is over and he lost. (Btw, John, get word to your boytoy Edwards about that truth.)

Yep
Kudos! Buuuuuump!
A gem of a post!
I have no artistic talents, but I sure would like to see a cartoon of "The Acme Vote Bomb" blowing up these "Wylie Coyote" Democrats. But, unlike Wylie Coyote, I want them to stay dead.
and the Terror Alert Flag is still flying.
Then I read the top and saw the "ABC" ,,, I was shocked! Did ABC actually say something so true and patriotic?? Nope. Jeff Head wrote a very good repsonse to the idiotic remarks by John Kerry.
I was excited for a moment to think that the MSM would carry such a positive and patriotic message for a moment.
Good article Jeff Head, to bad ABC would never carry your message.
Bravo!! bump!!
May I email or fax your list to the liberal cabal and to the RINOs? I've started to take a liking to tweaking their collective noses. I'll quote you if you wish.
