John Kerry first set foot in Vietnam 44 years ago, a young U.S. Navy officer fighting in a war that would come to profoundly influence his political career and foreign policy thinking.
He returned again Saturday, this time as Americas top diplomat, offering security assurances and working to promote democratic and economic reforms in the communist country.
In his 14th trip to the Southeast Asian nation since the wars end, the U.S. secretary of state was trying to bolster the remarkable rapprochement that he had encouraged and helped to engineer as a senator in the 1990s.

Is he sure it is not Cambodia?
We should start a pool - I’ve got “stubbed toe” and you’ve got “hangnail.” Who else is in on the “What Will Cause John Kerry’s New Purple Heart” Pool?
The VN should arrest him for murdering the teen in the diaper.
Why the long face, John?
‘Neigh!’
They should hold kerry for war crimes. See what his hero soetoro does about that.
Botox injection infection?
Sign your SF 180, John.
He did sigh the sf 180 but only Boston Globe got it. His records were later released though freedom of information act law suit but Jimmy Carter had whitewashed them so that not much was there.
Did you know that he’s a war hero?
Neither did algore

The criminal returns to the scene of the crime!
The second coming of Herman Munster...

Is this the “I was in Vietnam” John Effing Kerry the war hero? I don’t think the NVA recognize him with all of those botox injections.... maybe he could put on utilities and get his hair dyed and pontificate some more.
His passport photo is already on file there....
"...if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned."-J.F. Kerry
"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City.
VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.
