Unfit for Office
Wall Street Journal Editorial Page ^ | May 4, 2004 | John O'Neill

Posted on 08/15/2004 6:56:49 PM PDT by nicmarlo

I was on Mr. Kerry's boat in Vietnam. He doesn't deserve to be commander in chief.

I got the book from Hastings locally.
It was 16.77 tax 1.38 total 18.15
They have several copies and have ordered more.
They even had it in the correct area (new arrivals NON FICTION).

Squantos, I agree with you 110% but in these 'trial lawyer' days where the personal motto is, "If it feels good, do it" and where the political message is "Vote for John Edwards, he's a sexy SOB" or "Vote for John Kerry, he was a war hero, before he was a war protestor, before he again was a war hero", I don't think that Kerry will be removed from his current office by legal means. Think about it! The justice department is too afraid of indicting a crook who stuffed classified documents in his socks. Why would we expect the same DOJ to follow the law in John Kerry's case?

Again, I agree with you strongly but as the dude from the south would have said, "There's a whole lot of politics goin on out dere"....................................

"Vietnam was a long time ago. Why does it matter today? Since the days of the Roman Empire, the concept of military loyalty up and down the chain of command has been indispensable. The commander's loyalty to the troops is the price a commander pays for the loyalty of the troops in return. How can a man be commander in chief who for over 30 years has accused his "Band of Brothers," as well as himself, of being war criminals? On a practical basis, John Kerry's breach of loyalty is a prescription of disaster for our armed forces. "

No matter how you look at it, Kerry is UNFIT to be Commander in Chief, and President.,

It took awhile, but thanks to people like John O'Neill, the Universal Truth Police have taken the lying rat into custody.

Kerry went overboard tooting his own horn about his war record....his hubris has caused his own undoing: his excessive toots, which have been found out as mere FABRICATIONS, are going to sink him.

From the article:Neither I, nor any man I served with, ever committed any atrocity or war crime in Vietnam.

Same here (see tag line).

Given recent events, it would be nice to see the WSJ republish this, or allow O'Neill to 'revise and extend.'

Agree. These remarks bear reprinting.

Kerry slandered America's military by inventing or repeating grossly exaggerated claims of atrocities and war crimes in order to advance his own political career as an antiwar activist.

It's funny when Kerry is confronted with accounts like these -- which are a direct consequence of his constant touting of his military heroism -- HE'S THE ONE who acts as if he's being slandered.

One must truly be capable of Orwellian double-think in order to be a Leftist.

And absolutely devoid of ethics, morals, and ability to tell the truth.
