Wasn’t that Kerry who gave a speech at the VFW and a number of the vets stood up with their backs to Kerry as he spoke?
It must be great to live in the alternate reality that Kerry is in. This is the same guy who said there was no bloodbath after we left Viet Nam, just some people in reeducation camps, but no big deal.
Memo to Mister Heinz-Kerry: Shut the h@!! up, go home to Teresa and make ketchup.
Kerry is Klewless!
I became convinced months ago that until America comes to grips with what the history and lessons of Viet Nam are we will never, as a nation, be able to successfully fight another conflict again. The ability of the MSM then, as now, to turn support for a conflict into apathy or non-support was a glimpse at our Achilles heel for any potential adversary. This administrations inablility and unwillingness to counter accusations ranging from the rediculous to treasonous will be it’s ultimate undoing. The 24 hour news cycle where bad news is trumpeted continuously appearing to make the same losses sustained earlier in the cycle to be perceived as additional losses renders realistic perspective difficult. So the nature of the news cycle in conjuction with what is being reported, legitimately or otherwise, tends to magnify the news. Mr. Kerry and his ilk totally ignore the fact that had they had a little more fortitude and patience we would have neutralized the NVA in a matter of months. But the Democratically controlled Congress, convinced by Kerry and his band, decided to defund the conflict, hand victory to the NVA, create thousands of refugees and a southeast asian holocaust by our leaving a power vacuum. Forty years later they’re at it again. When will Americans learn that wars are to be won, note abandoned when it gets difficult.
Kerry is really stuck on stupid.
Rubbing out Al Quaeda is in our interest. Now that both the sunni and shia have turned against Al Queda, what kind of gov that follows is up to the Iraqis.
Either way, Iraq will not have WMD. Mission accomplished.
