Face the Nation ^ | 12/04/2005 | John Kerry

[KCRW]

Yes, indeed- John Kerry thinks it's 1972 all over again. Yesterday, on "Face the Nation" John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."

Here is the transcript for "Face the Nation"-

You will find this statement at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5.

PS--something that Kerry has NOT!!!!!

[eeriegeno]

Kerry needs to apologize to the American soldiers in Iraq immediately or resign from the United States Senate. We do not need a loose cannon like Kerry in the Senate.......

The US soldiers in Iraq ought to file an immediate class-action lawsuit against Kerry for slander and libel......

Words have meanings Mr Kerry! You do not have license to use them indiscriminately!!!!!!!!!!1

Tonk's done more on this board to get what Kerry did out to the public than ANYONE ELSE EVER will.

You could ask politely and you damn sure don't need to refer to what Tonk does, in that tone, and as any vendetta.

Tell your son I said

Thank You for your service to our country.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home
and to those who died at home from injuries and
from broken hearts.

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all.

I will not tire, I will not falter,
and I will not fail.

I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor
until I give my last breath on earth."

I spent 3yrs on a destroyer in the Navy from
'66-'69 as a Gunners Mate, GMG3.
USS CORRY DD 817 '68-'69 Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club Member.
USS CORRY DD 817
Home port was Norfolk Virginia
and sailed with her in the North Atlantic,
Caribbean,(dealt with Cuban gunboats off of Havana in Jan '68)
thru the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Viet Nam and back.

I was there the same time Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which sometime supplied PCF's and PBR's
and provided gunfire and gunfire support
in North AND South Viet Nam.

My ship may have even supplied
Kerry's boat in the Mekong Delta

Although there are many similarities between naval gunfire support
and Operation Sea Dragon (which ended Nov '68), they differ in two important areas:
naval gunfire support is normally fired at the request of troops ashore,
while Sea Dragon's mission is the interdiction of supplies and destruction
of military targets; and naval gunfire support is always conducted in South Vietnam,
while Sea Dragon missions are fired only above the demilitarized zone.

29 US Navy ships received gunfire from Viet Cong shore batteries.
My ship DID NOT get hit by the VC.

In Feb '69 my ship was part of Operation Bold Mariner
which was the largest amphibious assault since Korea.

This is EXACTLY what I used to do as a Gunner's Mate 3rd class.

Heard the Brian Sims Orchestra was outstanding! My mom said she heard them on the television from the other room and thought it was the Marine Corps Band.

[freema]

Thank you.

[freema]

You're a better man than me.

[FreeRep]

I agree, John F. Kerry was calling our soldiers terrorists, we were talking about this yesterday on another FR thread, right after he said it. Kerry was totally disgusting.

[freema]

Don't you go makin' me cry. I'm mad, and I ususally cry when I'm this mad, and then, I just get madder ; )
Thank YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY keeps me going.

terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."

I wonder when he will pull out the old "shock em on the pp" accusation he used on Vietnam Vets....

[cgk]

Disgusting. Not surprising.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Great poster!

Kerry is NOT gone. He is a snake and was only wounded in the last go around. And so....the head of the snake is still talking the same way about our military as he did in the Vietnam days.

Will ANYONE...Republican or other wise...CALL HIM ON THIS?!!!AND MAKE THE ANALOGY IN PUBLIC ???!!!

[wolfcreek]

TRAITOR! When will this idiot see his day in court?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Rush said on his show today that he feels Kerry has developed dementia.

[Arizona Carolyn]

No! They'll bring their liberal ideals with them.

[Jack Bull]

Rush nailed him on this good!

[KCRW]

Way to go Tonk! Fox News just showed Kerry's statement, Hannity is all over it, Rush is on it, American thinker is on it, Laura Ingraham is on it-

It is flying thru the blog world and talk radio right now.

Good job!

John Kerry is nothing more than an aging hippie. This is not Vietnam. He will not get with his remarks this time. He was lying then and he is lying now.

Our awesome troops at work:

[pollyannaish]

SCHIEFFER: Yeah.

Kerry is a dolt and has always been a dolt. His answer makes no sense if you look at it in total. No sense whatsoever, but then, I expect no better from him.

Shieffer's comment, on the other hand, is inexcusable. As a journalist, he was bound by ethics to remain neutral but did not. If he meant it as "yeah, and so?," his timing was horrible. Worse, to pretend that answer made sense is ridiculous. I bet if you asked Shieffer to dissect what Kerry had just said, he would not have been able to.
