No troop photos with Kerry

Posted on 12/13/2006 11:56:38 AM PST by debbieargel

Senator Kerry is making a trip to Iraq. I just wanted everyone to know that I am emailing the troops I have addresses for, and asking them not to pose in photos with him. The sole purpose of the trip is to show the American public that everything is o.k. and to get photo ops to send to the AP. This is shameful.

I am so sorry for your loss, I have no idea what it is like to lose a child, but I do want you to know how grateful my family is to your son and to you his mother. Freedom is not free, it is paid with blood from wonderful Americans like your son.

If Skerry DOES get any photo ops with the troops, the pictures should be scrutinized VERY carefully re the troops to see what shenanigans they are up to during the actual picture.

Also, how do we make sure Skerry was actually there?
I mean, if we could fake a moon landing in '69 just think what someone could do today with digital photography. ;^)

I'm so sorry about your son. I didn't notice that the first time I read this. My heart hurts for you and other parents who have sacrificed their sons for America.

Love to see him get what Beelzeblubber got from vets at the Vietnam Memorial when he tried to address them during Memorial Day in his first year of office (booing and backs turned) but I'm fairly certain that the troops have been "briefed" on "conduct shown to a senator" by the brass (we were at least in Da Nang when Clinton mentor and anti-war activist, segregationist William Fulbright visited there in '67).

Who knows, he may fall on a grenade and really get his face in the news. Ya think?

And we all know how he loves to have his face splattered all over the place. =O

Even if it wasn't authentic, that is one HANDSOME man.

Sorry...can't help myself. LOL

Isn't there some story about him, Christmas and a magic hat? Maybe he's trying to recreate his moment of greatness? (Or maybe the magic hat only works in a war zone? Wait...was the magic hat ever IN a war zone??!)

Why did that SGT not snap the finger of that traitor?

Kerry, you are a scumbag.

I love that picture. Not just for it's obvious intent but this happily married gal also thinks that is one good-lookin soldier. :)

How dare you people insult a brave hero like John F. Kerry who left at least one of his fingernails on the field of battle.

Ok, so the fingernail loss was a re-enactment. But you still cannot doubt his bravery. He was forced to eat foie gras above a temperature of 85 degrees F. Do you realize how dangerous that is?

Better to be "stuck in Iraq" than stuck with Kerry in Iraq!

Keep up the good work, Deb.
