The Vietnam Veterans Against The War (VVAW) sent several delegations to Paris to meet with the representatives of the National Liberation Front (AKA Vietcong) and North Vietnamese in 1971. John Kerry went on at least one of these trips and met and "negotiated" with representatives of the VC and the government of North Vietnam. First peace meeting between VVAW and the NLF, Paris, 1971 John Kerry was so proud of having gone to meet with the enemy and negotiate with them, it was the first thing he brought up after he finished his remarks before the Senate: LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS RELATING...

Where's the outrage??? The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory. In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. That's why, Oliver North has said the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face." "People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't...

These days former Vietnam war POW Sen. John McCain has nothing but praise for his fellow Vietnam veteran, Sen. John Kerry, the Democrats' current presidential front-runner. But after he was released from the Hanoi Hilton in 1973, Sen. McCain publicly complained that testimony by Kerry and others before J. William Fullbright's Senate Foreign Relations Committee was "the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us." "They used Senator Fullbright a great deal," McCain wrote in the May 14, 1973 issue of U.S. News & World Report. While he was languishing in a North Vietnamese prison cell,...

Cuban officials, under diplomatic cover in Hanoi during the Vietnam War, brutally tortured and killed American POWs whom they beat senseless in a research program "sanctioned by the North Vietnamese."(1) This was dubbed the "Cuba Program" by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the CIA, and it involved 19 American POWs (some reposts state 20). Recent declassified secret CIA and DOD intelligence documents, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal the extent of Cuba's involvement with American POWs captured in Vietnam. A Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report states that "The objective of the interrogators was to obtain the total...

<p>When Howard Dean challenged Sen. John Kerry’s effectiveness as a senator last week, Sen. Kerry defended himself in part by noting that he helped pass Agent Orange (search) benefits for Vietnam veterans.</p> <p>That’s true, but it was a good deed done for the wrong reason ¯ one that has opened the door for Vietnam to bilk billions of dollars from U.S taxpayers.</p>

John Kerry was a war hero, but for which side? As mentioned by Ollie North and reported on newsmax, North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap credited John Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War to a great degree with helping the communists ultimately win the war. Ollie attributed this revelation to Giap's 1985 memoir, but I cannot find a book by Giap from that particular war. Does anyone know what the book is, or better yet, have the exact quote from the book pertaining to this is? I would like to add the quote from General Giap to the above image...

How North Vietnam Won The War Taken from The Wall Street Journal, Thursday August 3, 1995 What did the North Vietnamese leadership think of the American antiwar movement?

I received this some time back in an e-mail. Included with it was a photo of Hanoi Jane with Communists/North Vietnamese. She had on their Army helmet on and was pretending to be shooting at American pilots. KEEP THIS MOVING; ACROSS AMERICA HONORING A TRAITOR This is for all the kids born in the 70's that do not remember this, and didn't have to bear the burden, that our fathers, mothers, and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century." Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless...

Toogood Reports [Tuesday, February 25, 2003; 12:01 a.m. EST]URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ For over forty years, America pursued the foreign policy, first developed in an anonymously penned, 1947 article by George Kennan (as "X," in what was probably the most important article ever published in the journal Foreign Affairs), of the "containment" of Soviet communism. One of the factors that made containment workable was the very bifurcation of the world that the policy addressed. A world without an Iron Curtain, is a world without containment. Containment Theory was heavily influenced by World War II, in which Nazi Germany toppled one European country...
