[history]
April 23, 2004 -- Thirty-three years ago today, a young, unknown political activist named John F. Kerry sat down before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and unleashed a bitter verbal broadside against the war in Vietnam - and, with particularly harsh invective, against the young Americans who were fighting it. Kerry charged that U.S. soldiers routinely committed the most gruesome of atrocities - "not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."

The Post is writing what we have posted here and at Winter Soldier.com for months.Perhaps John O'Neill is helping get this attention.

This issue is big. This is a deal-breaker. As the story gets out --- and it will --- the American people will turn their back on this commie monster.

John F*ckin' should have asked to be courtmartialed and sentenced to death for war crimes. All hat and no cattle then just like he is today.

What is particularly galling is how Kerry feigns outrage that his patriotism is being impugned whenever his judgment or voting record is questioned, but that never stopped him from slandering as war criminals the thousands who fought in Vietnam.

Winter Soldier" was, in fact, a set-up organized by a JFK-conspiracy theorist, the fabulist Mark Lane. And it was quickly exposed as a lie by journalists James Reston and Neil Sheehan - themselves harsh critics of U.S. policy - who discovered that many of its supposed eyewitnesses never even served in Vietnam.
Reston and Sheehan found sloppy errors and fraud in Lane's book "Conversations with Americans".
They did not find any errors in the "Winter Soldier Investigation", that I know of.

John F. Kerry: "U.S. servicemen had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam."

John F*ckin' should have asked to be courtmartialed and sentenced to death for war crimes. Why isn't the NYTimes screaming about his war crimes? Can you imagine what would happen if GWB said he committed war crimes?

The Devil will ice skate in Hell before Three Bandaid Kerry apologizes.
