Kerry must have had guts to troll the Mekong Delta's spider web of rivers and narrow canals knowing that Viet Cong like himself were waiting to pick him off.

So John Kerry is a super-hero for serving in these waters. And what about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- many of whom spent even more time on this mission? Are they heroes who deserve to be heard? I guess not -- the article doesn't talk about them.

Just to clarify my own feelings, I have the utmost respect for ALL veterans (even Kerry -- whose service in Vietnam may be one of the few things he's done in his life that I really admire). I'm sick of the MSM who try to tell us which veterans to respect (libs) and which to ignore (everyone else).

Must be part of the new 527: "Viet Cong Veterans for Kerry"

[Tallguy]

This AP story has to be a 'plant'. You can't get the MSM interested in cross-checking the simplest facts of Kerry's service in Vietnam, yet they'll send their Saigon bureau chief on a boatride up some godforsaken river in the Delta.

If they have to go 10,000 miles to find a story to buttress Kerry's accounting of events, you know he's in real big trouble.

[meandog]

There's a Vietnamese phrase for this insane story: "Beau coup, number, 10 dinky-dow"...me thinks the story author ate a bit too much Vietnamese nook maum!

[68skylark]

Since the war ended in 1975, they have reveled in peace and more recently, economic growth.

And another thing pisses me off about this. Notice how the author says that once we pulled out, Vietnam has been a place of peace and growth? It's a horrible communist tyranny, fer cryin' out loud. Millions died from the rise of communism in this part of the world! It wasn't just sweetness and light one those evil Americans pulled out.

This whole article is pro-communist propaganda. No wonder the writer supports Kerry.

[WoodstockCat]

This article is unreal.
NY Slimes goes to their communist heros to get the real story.

``It's just a small thing, but they have made it into a big deal,'' said Lam The Hung

Gotta be the Onion.

"The 50-foot Swift boats were easy targets as they plowed through the waterways of the Mekong Delta in packs of three or four, making big waves and thunderous noise when approaching. Former Viet Cong soldier Duong Hoang Sinh remembers them well... "


So what - did Kerry's group run across the VC version of F Troop ?

Nobody and nothing hit ?

[bad company]

I've come back to this article three times and still can't believe this made it to print. Exactly what is the dem party paying for souls these days.

[Chieftain]

Next thing you know, these guys will be standing next to the Kerry Krew!

[Travis McGee]

So this old VC saw Kerry in action, personally? Amazing.

Last week the AP was saying that the other Swifties on the other boats couldn't know what was going on, because they were not on Kerry's very boat. Now it's good enough to have been in the jungle when unknown Swift boats came in range.

[Exton1]

Funny how they could not find one the Vietnamese that have fled to the USA and ask them their views on the war. No, they ask a Communist, a VC, for their opinion, who agrees and glorifies the Anti War movement. I have friends who are ex-Vietnamese fighters and they say the Communist lied to them about the atrocities the Americans were supposedly doing to the South Vietnamese people. They fought because they though the Americans were enslaving and starving the South. They realized the lies when they got to Saigon and found the prosperity there that could not be compared to the North.

Even today, the South is much more prosperous and capitalistic then the North.

The question we should ask is why does the NY Times and the press HATE America and what we did in Viet Nam? Why the liberal love Communism more than Freedom? And Why they never talk about LBJ and who he escalated and lied about the war?

Hey Sinh ...my little commie yellow brother....we slogged the same ground....

Sorry I me and my bros...missed you 35 yrs ago....

You likie missah Kerrry so muchie...you keep him....ok? no charge....

Don't bring him back.....if nothing else he will make some salt water croc velly happy...

He would also make a nice volunteer for the farm....you guys made out of Dong Tam

imo

[philman_36]

Does the sKerry campaign actually hope that a ringing endorsment from the VC is going to help?
Those people are insane!

[Legion]

This story wasn't done by just the AP/NYT today.... NPR had a nice little 5 or 6 minute segment on this story this morning, too. Looks like all the lefty news outlets are in collusion here.

The audio interviews were chock full of rousing praise for Kerry from ex-Viet Cong guerillas and the like.

Yeah, I know... you're shocked, right?

[browardchad]

Since Kerry is about to "shake up" his campaign....

What would be better than to fly this VC in to join Rassman and the other "Vets for Kerry" on the campaign trail -- better yet, go find him immediately, and take him along and let him warm up the American Legion crowd for Kerry tomorrow!

Yeah, that's the ticket!

[DustyMoment]

Man, the Slimes/AP must have dug deep to find this guy. Has all the credibility asKerry's accounts of his PH's.

[Capt. Jake]

If one wanted to spoof the MSM and Kerry, it would be difficult to top this.

[NavVet]

"Easy targets" I thought 4 or 5 50' swift boats could remain stationary in a 75 yard wide river for over an hour under constant fire and not sustain any damage.
