What Is it with Senator Kerry? When it comes to the war on terrorism, he has been wrong at every step along the road. And when Kerry is on that road he is usually traveling in reverse.
Part of the problem is that Kerry tends to look at terrorism as a crime rather than an act of war. In a 2004 appearance on Fox news, Kerry quoted what he wrote in the book The New War: He said, "In that book, I wrote about how we needed to strengthen our ability to be able to fight international criminal crime, including terror." In another selection of the book, which he did not cite on Fox, the senator claimed, "The damage done by international crime is rarely as specific and dramatic as that of a terrorist attack, but in fact it is greater." Thus when he said in his book that Yassir Arafat was a role model for other terrorists, (because he has made a transformation from outlaw to statesman) it was in the context of jurisprudence, prisoners being able to be rehabilitated.
Kerry recently came back from Afghan with the astonishing claim that General McChrystal "reaching too far, too fast," almost as if he felt that Afghanistan was a crime scene that need to be slowly combed for clues. The Fact is the General was sent over to the war zone and told to come up with a winning strategy. Now that McChrystal made his recommendation Kerry is looking for a way to cut and run. Sorry Senator, there is a reason why McCrystal has a chest filled with medals and you threw your one medal away, he knows what he is doing:

Did Kerry also mention his service in Vietnam?
Why do we have General McChrystal on the payroll when General Cary has been in the trenches ?
I should have that SEARED into my memory by now.
I simply want to use them to beat terrorists to death!
Not in the effort to bring down America.
"...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.

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

John Kerry and the VVAW--Hanoi's American Puppets?
"Two recently discovered documents captured from the Vietnamese communists during the Vietnam War strongly support the contention that a close link existed between the Hanoi regime and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) while John Kerry served as the group's leading national spokesman."

If you’re looking for a true leader to follow in a bold and decisive retreat, Kerry’s your man.
Yes. He also knows “surrender”.
gigolo
Are you talking about THE John Kerry?
General Kerry?
Previously know as Commodore Kerry, The sailing Kerry, at the RVN bloatclub and regatta?
Swiftie Kerry ..
It’s talking the same s*** as always
Retreat,, Hide, Run,
I believe the Boston Globe wrote an article about Kerry's Vietnam experiences and said that he was accused of shooting a very young fleeing suspect in the back. the young man died. Something like this could turn Kerry against war, as McCain has turned against terrorist POWs being treated 'harshly'. McCain has turned liberal as a result of his experiences, I believe. But Kerry is not a good man, imho, he's a loser who wants to shame his own country for placing him in Vietnam in the first place. He'll never admit that, but his every word and action seems to support it. How men like Kerry get elected to high public office is beyond my ability to comprehend. Guess they're just good liars.
Kerry in Vietnam? You're shi*ting me.
