(get your barf bags - ready? GO!)

...made much of the plight of US pilots captured by the North Vietnamese -- and most were horribly treated by their captors. But these men languished in prison for years in part because the US government failed to follow Kerry's advice to end an unwinnable war.

snip...

O'Neill said he didn't think the election should have hinged on either candidate's war record, and he's right that Bush's choice was typical of many in his generation. It is Kerry's choice that was atypical.

The records Kerry allowed to be released this week show that his commanders in Vietnam called him ''one of the finest young officers with whom I have served," and ''the acknowledged leader of his peer group. " His stand against the war only confirmed these qualities.

Really offensive editorial from the Glob about Kerry:

he's vindicated and shouldn't be hated for trying to end the Vietnam war while George Bush 'supported it at Yale, but after graduation he chose reserve duty that kept him out of combat.'

"Vietnamese and Americans were dying needlessly because the war was a mistake"

As opposed to the vietnamese that died after the war was over, right?

Somehow liberals think that if a despotic government kills people, it didn't really happen. Just like they forget about all the mass graves in Iraq from Saddam.

DESPITE THE continuing gripes of his critics, records released this week show that Senator John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam.

Besides Kerry's college transcript, what was released? Or does his transcrips somehow prove kerry served honorably.

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Hanoi Kerry Timeline of a traitor
includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

or with any offense punishable by death,
may be tried at any time without limitation.

I wonder if the Glob even realizes that Kerry evidently did NOT release all of his military records...

They were shamefully used by the Kerry people. I wonder if they even care...

"served honorably in vietnam"? 3 months. everyone was there 12 or 13.

it's not his vietnam records he's hiding, it's his paris meetings afterwards, and his discharge that carter upgraded.

pure swill from the Globe. Kranish is behind this. He was the official Boston Globe Kerry butt wipe from the 2004 election. They keep repeating the same old war hero trash over and over.

The facts: kerry signed some of his records over to the globe and the rest of us will never see his records.

Kerry's wartime service and his equally honorable opposition to the war

Meeting with and advocating the enemy's conditions for peace in testimony before a U.S. Senate committee is honorable?!

Lies about our military before that same committee is honorable?!

I've still seen no explanation for Kerry's discharge being dated about 15 years after he supposedly got out, and his medals being reissued. Until someone can explain these things, all of his records have not been released

The records Kerry allowed to be released

This is deceptive.

Kerry has full access/control of every piece of his military record, and has but to personally request them.

But because he has had them released to the Navy, rather than to a non-governmental entity, he can seem to have the best of both worlds, because the Navy cannot release the entire record, only that which they receive from the Federal Records Center.

But in this case, Kerry is making the situation look like he has released it all, and the MSM enablers are helping.

Kerry did not release all of his records, from what I understood he released only part of them.

Wonder why Kerry didn't release these to the Boston Herald or the Wall Street Journal?
