The Silence of Guilt (The Defacing of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall)
Focal Point USA ^ | September 11, 2007 | Rich Carroll

Posted on 09/11/2007 8:07:57 PM PDT by Paige

Sometime during the evening hours of September 8th, 2007, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. was defaced with a petroleum based acid liquid. The liberal media barely mentioned this outrageous vandalism. Most avoided the news completely. Not one Senator or Congressman has stood-up and demanded better security for the memory of these 58,249 killed during the Democrat war in Vietnam. Could it be guilt over their deaths, or guilt that a left-wing Democrat group organized this despicable act at yet another time in history when Democrats consider United States Military personnel little more than "Nazi storm troopers"? (quote Dick Durbin, Illinois)...

If a veteran observes someone doing this, what should he do?

This is a deeper question than you might think.

I know what I would do if I caught someone ... and I know what I would do if I sat on the jury

Liberals are children... and you can damn well bet that it wasn’t a conservative that defaced the monument.

The whole American liberal movement is drawing dangerously close to getting a gigantic, collective ass-kicking.

NBC is calling it a “spill”.

Oily Substance Spilled On Vietnam Memorial

http://www.nbc4.com/news/14092461/detail.html

The used the term “spill” 4 times ... which gives the impression that it was an accident. One of the comments is:

“Park Police are investigating but said it is unknown if the spill is a criminal act.”

Maybe NSA and FBI need to review incoming phone and e-mail messages to Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL), who pointedly referred to the Vietnam War Memorial in his berating of Gen. Petraeus. The use of oil to desecrate the memorial would be symbolic of the radical leftists trying to make the “no blood for oil” statement that Wexler so clumsily tried to make in his statement.

Maybe it was coincidental that he made reference to the Wall, but it’s the NSA’s job to sort out coincidences from conspiracies to commit Federal felonies, treason, espionage or acts of war.

YouTube Video: Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) ranted and raved about the surge in Iraq. General Petraeus calmly puts him back in his place.

Imagine if this had been the wall near the minaret on the big DC area Mosque, Dar al-Hijrah?

“If a veteran observes someone doing this, what should he do?”

Veterans oftentimes act first when the enemy takes some action, afterwards the Vet thinks about it. I do, in fact, know what I would do.

A pesticide perhaps? Could the park service have done this themselves?

From my understanding, no, the Park Service could not have done this....that is why they are investigating the incident.
