Kerry smackdown
Thanks to Nixon
the lies of Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
are being told again.
And our military are being slandered in Gitmo, Iraq and Afghanistan
Hanoi Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam
Hanoi Kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971
to accuse the United States military
of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam.
Too bad that because Nixon failed to uphold the law,
we are still stuck with Hanoi Jane and Hanoi Kerry.
If Nixon hadn't caved into the minority anti-war crowd
and listened to the Silent Majority
Hanoi Jane AND Hanoi Kerry
would have been prosecuted for their treason in the 70's,
while Nixon was still President.
Keep in mind that Nixon was directly involved in Viet Nam,
as Vice President, going back to at least 1955.
26 Sep 1945 - The first death of an American serviceman in Vietnam occurred.

1953-61 Richard M. Nixon Vice President
1953 - The US is supporting the French in the amount of $1 billion per year--
33% of all US foreign aid--which is 80% of the total cost to the
. US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles (under Eisenhower) first voices the 'Domino Theory':
if one country in Southeast Asia falls to the Communists, they will all fall, one by one.
12 Feb 55 - President Eisenhower's administration sends 1st 350 U.S. advisers to South Vietnam
to train the South Vietnamese Army
8 Jun 56 - The first American of record to die in Vietnam

About Vietnam
The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
Hell, man, you block for him!
I'll wait and see what W says. I rather doubt it will be injurious to him or the Rs.
I'd laugh at that, but being a long-suffering Browns fan it isn't funny. Sucker rushed three on 3rd and 18 during Elway's drive twenty years ago -- and I was there -- and he wouldn't even admit it was a "prevent defense".
Ooooh. That's not someone he can just dismiss.
And if he won't apologize, he ought to resign.
Are they dumping CNN too ? I think I'd dump your cable company.
Too many of us have lost our drive to "block" for him. This should help us get it back.
Thanks Star!!! I knew something was missing!!
;-)
My offspring just informed me that we are 15 minutes away from going to their party. Sheesh! LOL!
I think people will remember John Kerry's press conference today as the moment we Democrats stopped once and forever accepting the disgraceful smears of Republicans. John Kerry showed our Party how to fight back with the truth…
John Kerry should apologize to no one for his criticism of the President and his broken policy in Iraq. George Bush is the one who owes our troops an apology. This is text book Republican campaign tactics.
And from a statement sent out by the Bob Corker campaign, becoming one of the first to try to hang Kerry around the neck of Democratic candidates:
The Corker for Senate campaign today called on Washington Congressman Harold Ford to either defend or denounce U.S. Senator John Kerry’s comment denigrating U.S. troops considering the fact he served as a National Co-Chair for the Massachusetts liberal’s 2004 presidential campaign, and because Ford just took $900,000 from the Democrat campaign committees – courtesy of a transfer from Kerry and his colleague, Senator Ted Kennedy.
“Bob Corker rejects John Kerry’s outrageous comments belittling the intelligence of our troops in Iraq, and Harold Ford’s silence on this matter leaves one to conclude he’s siding with Kerry,” charged Todd Womack, the Corker campaign Communications Director. “As one of Kerry’s strongest supporters in 2004, and having just taken Kerry’s campaign money to prop up his faltering candidacy, he has an obligation to speak out.”
President Bush is responding --- live with it ---
Our CIC cannot remain silent after an attack on our troops.
Do try to see clearly.
Can you imagine Tonk on today's news???!
Wishing him well!
No matter what the president does or says, nothing can be more damning than Kerry's asinine performance at his press conference today. That is the soundbite that needs to be played over and over. "I apologize for nothing, blah, blah, blah" It makes him look like the arrogant jerk he is, and nobody can do that better than him.
"Touchdown. Mark Jackson."
Well I hope so. Not only the despicable comments about the greatest military in the world, but the inflammatory personal remarks Kerry made about our President. Kerry had no idea Bush would actually make a response when he loud-mouthed this today. Kerry should be sweating about now. Wonder how many calls he has received?
