The chairman was John Kerry, not Bob Kerrey.
The vice chair, not co-chair was Bob Smith, not Bob Smiff.
Everyone had their own floor statement, as did the joint staffs.
Al Gore declined to be on the Committee.
And Jesse Helms did not browbeat the POW/MIA families and their leader like McCain did.
Now stop calling others “an idiot.”
With the Smiff, I was obviously poking fun of you truffers like you. Smiff, the
(A)Republican/Constitution/Republican/Libertarian/Republican nutball.
(B) None of the above today.
Psssst. Wanna buy some Florida real estate.
Of course everyone had floor statements, it was a Select Committee, and then everyone signed off on the final report. Except Bob Smiff tried to renege some months later when he was a
(A)Republican/Constitution/Republican/Libertarian/Republican nutball
(B) None of the above today.
Al Gore declined to be on the Committee.
Yep, dats what I said.
Bob Kerrey said "Nobody wanted to be on that committee" because it was such a loser. Robb and Brown and McCain and Kerry and Kerrey did it out of a sense of obligation. Smiff was already involved.
The Association of Families was smearing McCain daily as well as leaking confidential and classified information. McCain was pissed as I would be. It took Kerry to calm him down.
The League of Families was working closely with the dark and mysterious forces in the Government and Pentagon (Dick Cheney and Gates) and were generally satisfied with the investigations. Alford and that bunch would not be satisfied with anything.
Helms was a member in equal standing with McCain. If there was conclusive proof that even one serviceman was still in captivity he would have stood up and said so. He did not.
If you believe this garbage, you are an idiot.
