What our Commander in Chief has led us to in Iraq
ABC News ^ | 19, NOvember 2005 | Jeff Head

Regarding Senator John Kerry's comments this morning (November 19, 2005) on Good Morning America's Weekend edition, where he said of President Bush and the War in Iraq, "What we need is a little more commander-in-chief, and a little less campaigner-in-chief,”...let's see, Mr. Kerry, President Bush took us to war in Iraq as the Commander in Chief. In the midst of that war, he defeated you in a presidential election where this very issue was the principle part of the deabte...and he defeated you with the largest voter turnout in the history of this country, by a clear majority. In that time and since, our military and diplomats, under his command and leadership, have:

  1. Completed the fastest, most effective military advance in military history.
  2. Defeated the 4th or 5th largest military in the world in quick fashion.
  3. Freed 30 million people from abject tyranny.
  4. Deposed one of the most ruthless tyrants of the last fifty years, along with his Ba'athist party.
  5. Destroyed all attempts by the remaining Ba'athists and their terrorist allies to regain the upper hand, killing the tyrant's two sons and capturing him in the process.
  6. Secured the vast majority of the nation and handed sovereignty back to the Iraqi people on schedule.
  7. Held the 2nd largest, freest vote in Iraqi history to vote on their own interim government, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
  8. Had the interim Iraqi government develop and introduce a republican constitution on schedule, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
  9. Held the largest free vote in Iraqi history to approve the constitution that the interim government proposed, with even the Sunni minority now participating in that vote, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
  10. Assisted the Iraqis themselves in putting the former tyrant on trial for his crimes.
  11. Are preparing for what will undoubtedly be the new largest vote in Iraqi history to elect their own government under their new constitution, again, in the face of and despite terrorist attempts to thwart and disrupt that process.
  12. Trained an Iraqi military that is now actively taking major support and lead roles in fighting for their own free nation against their terrorist enemies, losing many more of their own lives, and spilling more of their own blood in that process than our own soldiers.
No, Mr. Kerry, your lame attempts to paint this historical mission and tremendous victory in negative terms and throw that negativity on the very leader who had the foresight and the commitment, in the face of abject corrupt opposition abroad and here at home, do not "carry" (or should that be "Kerry") any weight of moral certitude whatsoever. These attempts by yourself and others to try and use your political position to influence us to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory and, "cut and run", are nothing Moore than odorous political gas passing in the wind.

I've got two words, sedition, and treason. Both of which ought to strike considerable fear in the hearts of the domestic enemies. Note, I said ought to.

Off topic, but if I may suggest that we all send a thank you email to J.D. Hayworth and the other Congressmen who participated in last nights humiliation of the Dims. We need to encourage that sort of behavior on a consistent basis.

I agree. Except for the spelling, which I assume is a result of typing in haste. Use a spell checker next time.

.....so, in reality, it is nothing more than the start of that plan....

Yes, you are correct. My point is that we must take a very long view when we are adjusting history. We should speak of that long view and unlike the MSM not concentrate our thoughts and actions on the immediate present.

You are right on target.

Kerry Chides Bush For 'Fear And Smear' On Veterans Day
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1520730/posts

Shame on you, Senator Kerry
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1520737/posts

Honorable Viet Nam Vet's
ALWAYS do what's best for their country,
including calling for the outing a of traitor
in the US Senate.

Honorable Viet Nam Vet's
do what's needed to protect President Bush
from attacks from the traitor and his followers.

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

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

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.

Why are the "Move On FReepers" so careful NOT to attack hanoi kerry
head on and refuse to join in the demand to oust the traitor from the US Senate?




"Move On FReepers" "swore" klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".

John Kerry will never be President. His 48% was temepered by the rampant voter fraud in OH, WI, MI, and PA. I was attacked by a poster on this board for claiming that his margin of loss was much greater-Im convinced that he legally garnered only 44%. My favorite Kerry lament regarding the vote was, "If 60,000 people would have voted differently in Ohio, I would have won.." (paraphrasing)Yeah, Kerry, and if my aunt had testicles she would be my uncle! John Kerry-traitor, liar, dope..

"The Dem's are now the MoveOn.org... Daily Kos party. They sold out when Mikey Moore sat next to Neville Carter at the DNConvention.

"We are NOT facing Democrats anymore... we are in a fight with socialist-appeasers for the fate of our nation."

Actually the rats were bought out by George $oreA$$, basically the DNC, Moveon.org and most of the other lunatic lib organizations or web sites are funded by $oreA$$.

$oreA$$ is the most dangerous man to freedom and liberty since Adolph Hitler killed himself. Yet the rats sold their party out to him in the last 4+ years.

Well said! This is the sort of response that needs to be made whenever appeasers and traitors make stupidly incorrect generalizations such as "the war in Iraq is going badly". Keep hitting them with a recitation of specific accompishments and force them to answer with specifics. You won't persuade the rabid America-haters, of course, but you will influence any uncommitted and open-minded listeners and onlookers.</p>

Jeff was apparently responding to an interview by ABC of John Kerry.

Yeah, too bad, I thought maybe the MSM was getting sick of being "stuck on stupid".  Great post, though.

Good Posts.

My same thoughts about what ABC did.

If a person analyzes what Kerry is really saying , then thank God he is only leading misguided voters from Massachusetts.

Here's the truth about what is happening in Blue State American.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

It looks like to me that those areas and their leaders not supporting America are heavily influenced by a majority of homosexuals perverted views of what constitutes normalcy.

Democrats have taken up this perverted anti-American stance against Mainstream America in hopes of regaining power.

Democrats current slash and burn Republicans at all cost stance, can only demonetize America and its causes before the eyes of the world.

However, most Democrats do not see America as the shining light on the hill.


The Wimpy Republicans are starting to fight back.

Democrats no feel compelled that they must now justify their cut and run cowardly stance by tearing down with nothing more than constant negativity.

Apparently the President of the United States, George W. Bush, is getting in the way of John French Kerry's continuous campaign for President that began in 2001 1968?
