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.

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

And if the MSM told the truth, Kerry would have the lowest electoral votes since Mondale in '84.

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.

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.)

Thanks for the ping. Good compilation of successes.

I just heard Kerry's speech on tv. Seems like when you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, the one you hit yelps the most.

Anyway, to senator Kerry and his ilk: ya'all do France proud.

I HAD to correct their typo on the "Democrat" word:

Actually, I think "Democratic" would be correct. I think "Democrat" is kind of like slang. I could be wrong though.

Bump for Iraqi Freedom.

Conservatives are the defenders of freedom, not only abroad, but at home as well. Far too many Americans have forgotten or are unaware of how much freedom we have lost here in this country at the hands of Democrats and other socialists. Ronald Reagan said, "Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." And in yet another speech Reagan raised an important issue, "It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers."

The same Democrats that want to abandon the Iraqis when freedom is at last within their reach are the same socialists that would enslave us at home. Nikita Khrushchev: "We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."

The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to limit the Federal government's power to control our daily lives. The Constitution is the first line of defense for our own freedom. WE the people can restore the Constitution. Here is a link to the most recent article in a series of articles that detail how WE can restore the Constitution as the first step to recovering our lost freedoms and the most important step to ensure our continued strength to defend ourselves in the War on Terror.

Ensuring our own freedom is vital to the success of helping the Iraqis to secure their own. Please use your your ping lists to invite as many Freepers as possible to this effort. Will you take The Pledge.

Well-said, Jeff. Kermit Kerry just doesn't get it. He has no shame. I don't know what's worse. The muzzies trying to kill the country or the dems trying to capture it. Same thing, I guess.

Kerry can stand on both sides of any fence.

Where are your military records? Did you really receive a purple heart?

I just listened to an excerpt that the treasonous sob was saying yesterday and we all need to say it like it is.
I have never been in the service,being too young for Vietnam and graduating high school straight to the farm.
As such I often feel I have not served adequately the country that has allowed so much prosperity and opportunity.
As such anyone who has served,particularly in the time of war deserves respect.Our soldiers today deserve it and not to be told that they can`t win.
In Murthas case hopefully it is advancing years and finally succumbing to the indoctrination of the surrendering left.
In Kerry there is no honor left to be found and I am sure most of our soldiers past and current would spit on his shoes if given the chance.
I am sick of politicians that have displayed nothing but contempt for our military my entire life smugly parade a veteran around for the sake of political cover to advance an ideology of weakness,cowardice and appeasement that our soldiers must detest.

"What we need is a little more commander-in-chief, and a little less campaigner-in-chief"

That's very clever, Senator 'Purple Heart'. Did you stay awake all night thinking that one up? Maybe what we need is a little more 'A' student Senators and a little less 'C' student Senators.
