“GWB promised them that he would read the book!”
well “reading” about the war is as close as he ever got.
what we need is some ACTION!
Viet Nam has normal trade relations with the United States thanks to GWB and congress...how ‘bout it?
Can we get an accounting of these men or what, President Bush!!!
“Kerry and McCain were instrumental in the POW coverup.”
whatever...I am trying to get public awareness of the issue of POW’s and MIA’s who have never been accounted for and an ACCOUNTING NOW!
I remember these hearings well. The title of this book perfectly describes what took place and continues to take place.
That is indeed a troubling read.
“you would think the MSM would be all over it.”
don’t forget that the “MSM” is full of draft dodgers and anti-war slime who couldn’t care less about POW’s...
Remember the Viet Nam war was lost in America not Viet Nam.
Semper Fi,

True, but these days they would do almost anything to embarrass the GOP leadership. I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet. Of course this is a new book, and the story just broke on "Coast to Coast" this weekend. We'll see.
Your point being? Contact our elected representatives?
Senator John McCain? Senator Kerry?
Should the public not be kept aware of the great damage and obstruction men like these have done to campaigns just like the one you are suggesting? Good Luck with your suggestion to rise above it all. Nothing much will happen until we get a better set of elected reps.
hey look, I didn’t post this thread to get in a pissing contest with you or anyone else, thank you...I posted it so folks would know that there is a very good possibility that there are STILL POW’S ALIVE in southeast! And raise awareness in hopes that people will contact their representatives and DEMAND an accounting!
gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....if you have a problem with what I have done here, then go elsewhere!
And as a SEA veteran and former intel type, I am well aware that POW’s/MIA have suffered and may continue to do so.
I feel like people need to be aware which elected reps in our govt have failed and betrayed these men, obstructed efforts like you are trying to spearhead, and virtually successfully buried these men alive.
So please no more spamming or hectoring.
Buh Bye.
good bye
Heard the Coast presentation. The link to Castro was surprising. Also, the news on the hour following the show was about the tourist resort being built at China Beach—world class. How long can they keep the POWs hidden with tourists all over the country?
“Heard the Coast presentation. The link to Castro was surprising?”
I didn’t hear the program. What was the Castro link?

Castro held some Bay of Pigs POWs back for negotiation purposes and suggested N Vietnam do the same. Nixon promised $4.75 billion to N Vietnam for reconstruction if they would turn over the POW hostages, but that fell through because of the impeachment—deal was broken (those who celebrated the impeachment probably don’t know about this part) and the hostage POWs sit wherever they are 30 years later.
Oh, okay. Thanks for the info.
I didn’t hear the radio program.
bttt
Umm, why would RR agree to cover up something like this?
vile Slander against our vice president.
Have you read the book, and examined all the evidence?
I am merely telling what the book and the radio interview included. If it turns out to be slander, the writers and publishers can be held accountable. Menwhile, why haven't our government leaders addressed these mountains of evidence? Why did they feel the need to shred documents that would have proven the whereabouts of the missing POWs?
I'm as patriotic as anyone else, but government officials should never lie to us, no matter what label of their party.
