IVAW's Winter Soldier A Bust! But Who Was Inside The Black Limousines?
Ronald Winter ^ | 17 March 2008 | Ronald Winter

"The most dramatic testimony out of the IVAW's Winter Soldier II hearings is that American troops are using bullets in Iraq!" Col. Harry Riley, US Army, Retired, at Eagles Muster, Washington, D.C., May 15, 2008.

There is a saying that sunlight is the strongest disinfectant. That was certainly the case this past weekend in the Washington, D.C., area when American veterans and troop supporters gathered to counter the Iraq Veterans Against the War's ill-conceived Winter Soldier II "hearings" at the National Labor College in Silver Springs, Maryland.

The original Winter Soldier "investigation" was a farce put together by John Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 1971 during which American troops who served in Vietnam were maligned and labeled murderers and baby killers by Kerry and his pro-communist cohorts.

The word behind the scenes this past weekend was that the IVAW was being coached by left-over relics from the VVAW's days of disgrace, and hoped through the use of innuendo, slander and outright lies, to have the same impact on this generation of warriors. This, by the way, is part of the communist playbook and game plan for its long-term goal of destroying democracy from within. It isn't working. /snip We had a class group at Silver Springs, including bloggers ranging from Concrete Bob the DC Protest Warrior, to Viper Ash, and many in between. We had veterans from all generations and organizations, supporters from across the country including the ladies from A Soldiers Wish List, plus the Eagles Up organizers, members of Gathering of Eagles, Rolling Thunder, and Move America Forward. We had characters, and our characters have character. Together we were successful. /snip

Judging by the makeup of Congress, the current slate of candidates, and the majority of the Sheep, it looks like it's pretty successful thus far...

Good men are defending America and veterans refuse to be maligned again. John F’ing Kerry was allowed, by a willing Congress, to lie and spit on the military and none of us will ever allow that to go on again unchellanged.
Hats off to my fellow veterans and patriotic Americans for defending our liberties and the brave men and women who sacrifice for our good.

That was amusing. I just googled the word “Kucanicha” and got this:


Did you mean: Kucinich

I had a nice talk with Ron Winter outside the Labor College on Friday. “Masters of the Art,” Ron’s fine book about his experiences as a Marine helicopter crewman and door gunner in Vietnam, is well worth reading.

THIS MATTER WAS PRAYED OVER!

Please add further prayers to the thread below.




Are You Called to Provide Worship & Prayer Cover For Those Who Support Our Troops & Our Military

Lord, I praise You that at FR we have a forum under Jim’s headship that recognizes Your headship and sovereignty, and that among Harry Riley, Larry Bailey, Melanie Morgan, Deborah Johns and many other leaders we have others who do likewise, in this One Nation Under God.

Let us stand firm on Your promises, let us know that the battle is not ours but the Lord’s, let us know that the WAR is won—though the fleshly battles continue for a season.

Let not our hearts be troubled, let us be bold and very couragoues. “The wicked flee when noone is chasing, but the Godly are bold as lions.”

I pray for the souls of those who put on a bold face. Let them hear the Still Small Voice of Your Holy Spirit calling them to repentance, telling them to put their hands over their mouths in shame, and for those many who foolishly will not repent...

...let others perceive their hatred and evil, and be revulsed and in their own hearts glorify You and stand strong for a nation that stands for You, in Jesus’ Mighty Name, amen.

I made the point that our presences wasn't about numbers, it was about symbolism - we were standing up for the current generation of warriors and the generation that was screwed by Kerry and his group.

I spoke on the one-year anniversary of the original Gathering of Eagles when tens of thousands of American troop supporters descended on DC to shut down Code Pink, the ANSWER coalition, and other anti-American, pro-communist and pro-terrorist organizations. In the year since we have raised America's awareness of the intent of these organizations, have stood up to them in dozens of places across the country, and made the point strongly that America's streets belong to us all, not just the malcontents.
