John Kerry Touts Al Qaida Successes

In quotes sure to bring delight to Osama bin Laden and his followers, Sen. John Kerry said Sunday that the reason the U.S. homeland hasn't been attacked by al Qaida since 9/11 is because the terror group is having so much success against U.S. forces in Iraq.

"Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven't been attacked here, is because they are being so successful at doing what they need to do to attack us in Iraq and elsewhere," the failed presidential candidate told ABC's "This Week."

Kerry was responding to comments Friday by chief White House advisor Karl Rove, who credited President Bush with "protecting America against attacks."

"He is winning the war against terrorism, promoting liberty in regions of the world that have never known it," Rove told a Republican gathering in Washington, D.C.

Rove complained that Democrats like Kerry still had "a pre-9/11 worldview."

On Thursday, bin Laden released an audiotaped message that seemed to echo comments by Bush administration critics, including Sen. Kerry.

Asked whether bin Laden had expressed "almost the same" sentiments that Kerry had in the past, "CBS Evening News" anchorman Bob Schieffer told WABC Radio's Mark Simone: "Well, he did. That's exactly right.

Kerry- "Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven't been attacked here, is because they are being so successful at doing what they need to do to attack us in Iraq and elsewhere,"

This actually should be the final nail in the coffin of any Presidential bid Kerry was planning.

This slap to the face of the US Military is a disgrace considering what a hard job in a tough terrain our Troops have, and how bravely they have been doing it.

Many Democrats are reported as not wanting Kerry back on their ticket. If we push hard enough with this, their media might skid and we could get some real traction against this treasonous jerk and put his story to a final ending (politically speaking).

Besides that there should be a group of Iraq Vets, just like the Swifties and do similar commercials against Kerry.

That is another way of saying we can either fight them over here or over there. I dispute that they are having a lot of success over there, but President's Bush's strategy is correct about taking the way to them on their soil to prevent them from fighting us here.

Not since W.W.II has the American left supported the United States of America in war.

More specifically, it was not until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union that the American Left supported US entry into that war.

Thats why Osama is offering a truce.....to save the USA the embrassment of defeat.
We have this Jerk on the run, and Kerry hates to admit we are winning.
maybe later, Kerry and Murtha will go to Arlingon and knock over Headstones of Iraqi War dead.

And the only reason they did that was cause Adolph attacked Unca Joe! Without the meth fueled insanity of his ego causing him to poke at the bear, west Europe could still be flying the swastika today. And the left still wouldnt care.....They didn't give a RR what Hitler did then, or NOW!
Well as long as it doesn't infringe on their socialist paradise, that is!

I'm still waiting for Senator Live Shot to release ALL of his military records and to offer an explanation as to why it was necessary for the Carter Administration's Navy Department to upgrade his discharge to "honorable".

Not that there is any question about "why".

The Republican Party should immediately hold Kerry, and the Democratic Party's, feet to the fire for these comments using every media outlet available - in newspaper, radio, and television interviews, and on the floor of the House and Senate. They should make sure that everyone in America is made aware of Kerry's comments. But they won't.

JOHN KERRY was on the side of our Communist terrorist enemy, North Vietnam Dicator HO CHI MINH, and against Freedom for South Vietnam during the entire Vietnam War.

Nothing has changed since, except JOHN KERRY would have the millions of Vietnamese he helped doom to untold suffering when Freedom fell in the South...

...be replaced with the suffering of a Free Iraqi people in this new Liberty Century.

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.

That is the same logic behind the Democratic Party's frenzied attacks on Bush now. Because they sucked so bad in 2004.

If Al Qaida is doing so well, that must mean our guys doing poorly. John Al Kerry is acting as the self appointed morale officer for the enemies of the United States.

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (Introduced in House)
HR 3352 IH

109th CONGRESS

1st Session

H. R. 3352

To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

July 19, 2005

Mr. SALAZAR introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to protections for the Medal of Honor, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Stolen Valor Act of 2005'.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--

(1) fraudulent claims surrounding receipt of the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished-Service Cross, the Air Force Cross, the Navy Cross, the Purple Heart, or any other medal or decoration awarded by Congress or the armed forces damage the reputation and meaning of these medals;

(2) Federal law enforcement officers are currently limited in their ability to prosecute fraudulent claims of receipt of military medals; and

(3) changes to the current statute are necessary to allow law enforcement personnel to protect the reputation and meaning of these medals.

SEC. 3. MILITARY MEDAL PROTECTIONS.

Section 704 of title 18, United States Code, is amended--

(1) in subsection (a)--

(A) by inserting `purchases, attempts to purchase, solicits for purchase, mails, ships, imports, exports, produces blank certificates of receipt,' after `wears'; and

(B) by inserting `attempts to sell, advertises for sale, trades, barters or exchanges for anything of value' after `sells';

(2) in subsection (b)(1), by inserting `or (b)' after `subsection (a)'

(3) by redesignating subsection (b) as subsection (c);

(4) by inserting after subsection (a) the following:

`(b) False Claims About Receipt of Military Medals- Whoever falsely represents himself or herself, verbally or in writing, to have been awarded any decoration or medal authorized by Congress for the armed forces of the United States, or any of the service medals or badges awarded to the members of such forces, or the ribbon, button, or rosette of any such badge, decoration or medal, or any colorable imitation thereof shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.'; and

(5) by adding at the end the following:

`(d) Other Medals- If a decoration or medal involved in an offense under subsection (a) or (b) is a Distinguished Service Cross awarded under Section 3742 of title 10, an Air Force Cross awarded under section 8742 of section 10, a Navy cross awarded under section 6242 of title 10, a silver star awarded under section 3746, 6244, or 8746 of title 10, or a Purple Heart awarded under section 1129 of title 10, or any replacement or duplicate medal as authorized by statute, in lieu of the punishment provided in that subsection, the offender shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.'.



"From Ray Funderburk, MOPH

The greatest threat to the sanctity and significance of the Purple Heart comes from the medal's easy availability. Anyone can buy one at flea markets, pawnshops or on the Internet, where Web sites offer the decoration, no questions asked, for as little as $35. An accompanying certificate on onion skin parchment and personalized with your name and any rank you choose costs about $25.

Such commerce in the symbols of American courage and sacrifice would be outlawed by a measure spearheaded last July by Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo.

His "Stolen Valor Act" would make it a federal crime to falsely wear the Purple Heart and other top military decorations, or to even list them on a resume if they were not officially earned.

But the proposed bill now sits in the House Judiciary Committee, and its fate remains unclear.
"We're waiting for the committee to act," said Salazar

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1560750/posts?page=2#2




Any Republican or Democrat politicians who don't get this bill passed is
as guilty as the phonies that this bill targets.

The Swift Boat Vets already proved, beyond a doubt,
that hanoi kerry's 1st Purple Heart is fraudulent.

A US Attorney General can get ALL of hanoi kerry's
records and once and for all prove that the
Swift Boat Vets were accurate and true.

All that has to be done is to get this bill passed and signed into law now, before the '06 election.

Since hanoi kerry will be under indictment he'll
have to sit out the '06 election for his illegal seat
in the US Senate.

AND the best part is that it is a Democrat sponsored
bill that will his downfall.
