John Kerry is at it again, smearing the honor of the US armed forces in Iraq by making outrageously inaccurate charges against the hard working men and women in Iraq doing their utmost to help the nation achieve victory there. Kerry said the following on Face the Nation on Sunday:
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the 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. Whether you like it or not...Iraqis should be doing that."
Kerry acts like when our soldiers make a search of a home they do so just for grins. The only time a home is raided is when there is solid intelligence that there are terrorist suspects in the home. No one is treated brutally or "terrorized," but yes the raids are quick and intrusive, using the cover of night to keep the element of surprise and to prevent terrorist suspects from having too much lead-time to act. I guess Kerry doesn't want to disturb the sleep of terrorists so they can be alert and rested when they carry out murder against our troops in the morning.
The fact is, Kerry owes our forces in Iraq an apology for using reasonable and prudent search tactics against them all for his own political benefit by looking like the most "anti-war" candidate in the Democratic primary field for 08. It is unconscienable Kerry would make these remarks knowing full well that our forces are not out to victimize innocent Iraqis, but to get at the bad guys, all at a time our troops are making great strides in beating the bad guys and bringing democracy to Iraq.
Kerry's ugly remarks attacking our military in Iraq becomes even more galling when you read Joe Lieberman's November 28th Wall Street Journal piece praising the professionalism and honor of our forces in Iraq and the tremendous strides they're making their to beat the jihadist monsters.
But then slandering our troops is nothing new for the traitor Kerry. Remember these absolutely appalling charges made against our troops in Vietnam, all based on nothing Kerry actually witnessed (he admitted it was nothing he ever saw) and later proven largely to be bunk? Kerry smeared the reputation of Vietnam veterans when he said the following in testimony before Congress in 1970:
"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan , shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country," Kerry testified.
Kerry's irresponsibility in continuing to accuse US troops of heinous acts all to serve his political ends have got to be called for what they are: enemy-emboldening sedition. This hack has no business in the US Senate making such incredibly intemperate and hyper-partisan remarks all in the service of his narrow political aims of attacking a president he's still frustrated he couldn't beat in 2004.
But then when you consider that Kerry seems to have a pattern of making false charges against the military, it begins to dawn on you that it's not so much Bush that Kerry hates, it's the US military he really despises--and this from a man who exploited his supposed military service as being his only real selling point to convince Americans to make him commander in chief of a military he clearly finds barbarous. Thank goodness Americans saw through his phoniness and sent him back to the Senate to do what he does best: being a trash-talking, bomb-throwing, back bencher, partisan extremist liar.
May these GD Clinton C*****ers roast in a special hell saved for traitors!!!
I am sorry for you....
I wouldn't work in Washington for nothing...not even a guarantee of living in heaven.... I understand your comments but strongly disagree with something you typed after "......there are so few from our media and our politicians who can qualify as good people..."
then you typed....
I don't think so, I think good people are subverted and perverted by the culture of career bureaucrats in Washington. I know a few of those very well, and Washington is a strange place, and strange things happen to people when they work there.
where I disagree is that good people are not subverted and perverted by the culture of career bureaucrats in Washington. I know the neighborhood is tough, but good people are never subverted and perverted by the culture of career bureaucrats.... if this is all it takes to be perverted and subverted....He!! will visit this nation for its lack of "good people" Good people make mistakes sometimes, just as I believe our President is making a terrible mistake concerning illegals...but the whole picture of DC reminds me of a swamp full of alligators and yes these alligators care not a whiff about you...they only like to lay in the water and when hungry eat ......
the situation for any citizen keeping up with what is actually taking place is distressing at best....and disheartning at worst...and then we have people who stomp on the best amongst us...those placing their lives on the line to hopefully keep us safe and then I and other citizens become even more dismayed..... I at this point know
I'll have to agree to disagree with you.... and maybe only the ruins await us.....Time will tell.
See my post #21. You had to see it to understand. We'll see tomorrow if others were as angry over it as I am.
Thank God, I have never worked in Washington, just had relatives that did. You speak a lot of truth, we aren't far apart actually, I'm just cutting some of them more slack than you are. It is a slime pit, no doubt about it. But, it's our slime pit, the cleanest slime pit around.
Something tells me you probably like my fellow Coloradan named Tancredo.
I wish they would too. I just don't understand how they can keep this guy in office?
You know, I watched that too......it infuriated me. I caught them on the early show, but caught it in the middle of the thing.
So, I looked again, and I was horrified at Commie Colmes. He went on and on, nearly popped a vein, telling our horrible our troops were. He wouldn't shut up and let John O'Neill finish a sentence.
I agree, the way Colmes attacked John O'Neill with veins bulging was over the line.
H&C will just continue to lose ratings if they keep that nutcase on the show.
Now that makes more sense........wait wait. Give me ZELL!! I want spitballs!
I don't want that nasty skeleton looking guy who will just sit there and lie, and distort the truth, not caring about the damage to our troops.
Heavy sigh....gotta fire off another letter.
