Service and disservice (Ollie North slams Kennedy et al)
Washington Times ^ | 4/11/04 | Oliver North

Posted on 04/11/2004 4:16:30 AM PDT by Elkiejg

Edited on 07/12/2004 3:41:38 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]

This past week in Iraq, U.S. Marines came under heavy fire in such cities as Fallujah and Ramadi. Amid gunfire and rocket-propelled grenade attacks, their mission was to search for the terrorists who killed and desecrated the bodies of four American contractors killed last week and quell an uprising of radical Shi'ites, who are being lead by Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr, a fanatical cleric and a pawn of Hezbollah. At least 15 Marines were killed and 20 more were wounded in the battles.

Giving aid and comfort to our enemy. Why didnt this come from the Majority Leader? When are the Republicans in the Senate going to grow a spine? I yearn to see a Senator go up to Fat Teddy on the Senate floor and see them punch this lying sack of crap right in his stinking mouhth.

JFKerry's strategy of making himself a "hero" of Vietnam, becomes ever so clear. These lying crooked liberals were successful in losing the war of "freedom" in Vietnam and they set in motion a plan to attempt the same "Vietnam syndrome" in opposing the "setting free a nation" of Iraq.

Pretty evil, sick and twisted those who seek to regain their power do so supporting Saddam and the UN who kept the people of Iraq under death and destruction with their UN "Oil for Food" scam.

These of a perverse generation under liberalism have a lot of accounting to account for.

With IranContra, the RATS tried to smear those patriotic Americans who dared to take down the Sandinista dictatorship. (The RATS never saw a dictatorship they didn't want to save.)

The legacy of that RAT effort is propelling Ollie North to high prominence in American politcs.

He's turned out to be one of the most effective spokesman for America that the world has ever seen.

Thank you, Ollie.

(And you must be gnashing your teeth, you dirty RATS.)

Contrary to how the media make it out, this has not been an effort to take down a city of more than 300,000 people -- the Marines are only firing when fired upon. They did not prep it with an artillery barrage beforehand.

It is also important to note this has not been just a U.S. Marine Corps operation, but a joint U.S.-Iraqi operation. The timing of it was such they could collect adequate intelligence on the city and use the videotape shot by Arab reporters, and now held by Iraqi authorities, to capture and bring to justice the perpetrators of that terrible crime.

Other important points in this excellent article that deserves to be high-lighted.

Now that terrorists are mastering the manipulation of the media...

This is an important point. And Spain proves that they have also managed the manipulation of the electoral system (relying on their friends in the left).

I really do think many of the things being said by Fat Teddy are treasonous and serve to undermine US military morale, and I would like to hear more people in Congress telling him to shut up.

And the Senate's resident Klan Man, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, was happy and eager to participate. "Surely, I am not the only one who hears echoes of Vietnam in this development.
 

I wonder if Byrd still hears the rustle of the sheet as he pulled it over his head to terrorize blacks...

I'm in with Ollie on every thing he said. If it wasn't for Ollie and two other guys at FOX News who were embedded, we wouldn't be getting much truth about what is really going on in Iraq. Heaven forbid that we would have to believe Teddy the "Woman Killer" and the senior klansman's BYRD droppings. Keep praying for those wonderful Marines and Sailors who are doing so much for us.

I do not expect much from old Ike Skelton, he is my rep as well. Ike was the good old boy who led the House of Representative for the Clinton supporters on that day of "Articles of Impeachment", he later got to christen a ship in the name of Truman.

When it was made public that Clintons were collecting cash from the Red Chinese for campaign purposes, I called Ike's office and asked if Ike was collecting Red Chinese money to run his campaign, there was a gasp on the other end of the phone and "NO"!

Old Ike loves to play the part of being a supporter of the military however, his first love is himself and his party, and he sure knows how to keep his base on the government gravy train.

It's very ironic that the real war heroes never beat there chest and proclaim themsleves war heroes. North like many, did not officially report any wound after his 2nd injury, if he had he would have been rotated out on Vietnam, he wanted to stay with his men, he felt they needed him. War hero Kerry sprinted to report his 3rd shrapnel wound after 4 months in 'Nam.

What we need now are some smart and able Freepers pullng out some of Ollie's testimony when he said that, "Bin Ladin was the most evil person he knows", and publicizing the democrats response to his testimony.

That would open a lot of eyes about the democrats.

That's a little extream, however, that Senator should on camera get right in his face and call him what he is a traitor. Let's not leave out the lieing old sack Klansman either.

Thank you, Elkiejg!

Those who continue carping and complaining about the war, defend themselves by saying they have a First Amendment right to do so, but there is an inherent duty of responsibility in the exercise of free speech. Now that terrorists are mastering the manipulation of the media, war critics must consider the consequences their criticisms may have on their countrymen who are fighting for freedom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8 Petition for Military Families-for press release ~ "Because of the named infractions, we wish to go on record and let people like Senator Kerry, Senator Byrd, Senator Kennedy, and the media that promotes the anti-war agenda know that unlike during the Viet Nam War, this time the silent majority will not remain silent! We support our President and our military. Together, we abhor the treasonous voices of those who aid and abet our enemies." ~ 4/11/04 |  Armymarinemom

Love your tag line. Best one yet. Fear works - on lots of people. At work on Friday, I was approached by a friend who is an immigrant from Denmark. She had eyes as large as moon pies and was saying to me that it must be time that we were getting out of Iraq, citing the recent killings and hostage-takings. I asked her where she would personally be RIGHT NOW if the US had not gone after Hitler, if we had let him run his course. Wonder of wonders, she agreed with me and stopped talking fear. I guess it just had to get to a personal level with her.

Shades of the PT109 fiasco. Kerry certainly learned from the best. At least they didn't make a movie about Kerry's exploited "heroism".

"The murder of those four defense contractors was planned and phoned in to the Arab media beforehand...to instill fear and generate calls for retreat. Thus terrorists in Iraq...have now added a public relations component to their quiver. And their latest offensive...has apparently worked on people like Ted Kennedy and Bob Byrd."

I don't think it worked 'on' Byrd or any one named Kennedy, rather, I'd say it works 'with' them. Would really like to see a list of incoming telephone calls for the 24 hours prior to the ambush. My bet is that a number of people in DC/DNC knew in advance as well.

Today's bad guys know just as well as did yesterday's bad guys that there are helpful souls available to them within our own government and special interest groups.

Too bad we can't hit these windbags with the provisions of the Sedition Act of 1918. Too bad we no longer have a modern day form that even held elected officials accountable.

I'd pay good money to see Ollie North, in the old school Paris Island '52 style DI, get in the faces of the Baghdad Brothers (McDermit and Levin) Ben&Jerry's Poster Boy (Teddy K), Sheets (Byrd), Charlie Rangle, and what was the floor name for Osama's MaMa?

While you're waiting, make some copies. Start sending them out to VFW, American Legion and AMVETS posts in his district. Send his office a courtesy copy with each one until you do hear from him.

Lets not attribute any more to fat Teddie Kennedy than what he is, the spawn of a crime family. His rum running father supported the Nazi regime in Germany, his brother sacked the prostitute of a Chicago crime czar. As they say, ALL IN THE FAMILY.

It's always a tip-off when the Dims trot out Kennedy and Byrd together. I always expect something completely outrageous because the RATS know that both these fools have little political or even physical life left in them.

They utilize them for their most treacherous screed because in the long run it won't matter as the Murdering Drunk and the Klansman won't be in office that much longer. They are the sacrificial goats of the DNC and are both happy to serve that role.
