Sen Kerry: “Irresponsible” To Commit More Troops Until Afghan Election Decided
Kerry:”We have a responsibility to make certain that the government here is a full partner in our efforts to be able to be as effective as we can be. So before the president makes a decision about the numbers of troops that ought to come here, I believe it is critical for us to be satisfied that the reform efforts that are absolutely mandatory within the government here are in fact going to take place and be fully implemented.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
John Hanoi Kerry….yes we know this traitor all too well!
* Denouncing America with ‘Hanoi’ Jane
He became a celebrated organizer for one of America’s most extreme appeasement groups, Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He consorted with the likes of “Hanoi” Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark, Lyndon Johnson’s radical former attorney general.
* Those evil American soldiers: Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 23, 1971, Kerry claimed that U.S. soldiers had “raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam.”
* We are not the best’: In his testimony, Kerry claimed there was no communist threat and said: “In 1970 at West Point Vice President Agnew said ‘some glamorize the criminal misfits of society while our best men die in Asian rice paddies to preserve the freedom which most of those misfits abuse,’ and this was used as a rallying point for our effort in Vietnam. But for us, as boys in Asia whom the country was supposed to support, his statement is a terrible distortion from which we can only draw a very deep sense of revulsion, and hence the anger of some of the men who are here in Washington today. It is a distortion because we in no way consider ourselves the best men of this country ….”
* Throw as I say, not as I do: On that same day he led members of VVAW in a protest during which they threw their medals and ribbons over a fence in front of the U.S. Capitol.
Kerry later admitted the medals he threw were not his. To this day they hang on the wall of his office.
* Communist stooge: The communist Daily World delightedly published photos of him speaking to demonstrators and boasted that the marchers displayed a banner depicting a portrait of Communist Party leader Angela Davis, on record stating, “I am dedicated to the overthrow of your system of government and your society,” the New American recalled in May 2003.
* “Under Kerry’s leadership, VVAW members mocked the uniform of United States soldiers by wearing tattered fatigues marked with pro-communist graffiti. They dishonored America by marching in demonstrations under the flag of the Viet Cong enemy.”
* The book he doesn’t want you to see: When Kerry ran for election to the U.S. House of Representative in 1972, “he found it necessary to suppress reproduction of the cover picture appearing on his own book, The New Soldier. His political opponent pointed out that it depicted several unkempt youths crudely handling an American flag to mock the famous photo of the U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima,” according to Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry.
“Suddenly, copies of the book became unavailable and even disappeared from libraries. But the Lowell (Mass.) Sun said of the type of person shown on its cover: ‘These people spit on the flag, they burn the flag, they carry the flag upside down, [and] they all but wipe their noses with it in their efforts to show their contempt for everything it still stands for,’” the New American reported.
* Freindly With The Enemy. As chairman of the Select Senate Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, created in 1991 to investigate reports that U.S. prisoners of war and soldiers designated missing in action were still alive in Vietnam, Kerry badgered the panel into voting that no American servicemen remained in Vietnam.
“No one in the United States Senate pushed harder to bury the POW/MIA issue, the last obstacle preventing normalization of relations with Hanoi, than John Forbes Kerry,” noted U.S. Veteran Dispatch.
“But Kerry’s participation in the Committee became controversial in December 1992,” reported the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity, “when Hanoi announced that it had awarded Colliers International, a Boston-based real estate company, an exclusive deal to develop its commercial real estate potentially worth billions. Stuart Forbes, the CEO of Colliers, is Kerry’s cousin.”
* Kerry is also a fan of China’s communist dictatorship. “On May 19, 1994, five years after Tiananmen Square, Kerry spoke on the Senate floor against linking China’s Most Favored Nation trade status to its human rights record,” Slate reported.
Kerry said: “China is the strongest military power in Asia. We need China’s cooperation. We cannot afford to adopt a cold-war kind of policy that merely excludes and pushes China away.”
Remember when our awesome soldiers did this in response to what Kerry had said about them………….
A tour in Nam was 13 months. Kerry did 4 months on a 3 purple heart technicality.
Flying in the door on lots of medevacs, I remember the grunts who put their wounded buddies on my helicopter were also bandaged and often bloodey, but they stayed in the field. That meant no purple heart, no early trip home, just more time in the bush covering their buddies’ sixes.
Kerry’s service is a fraud. How takcy to actually ASK your CO for a medal! Puke!
If John Kerry told me the sun rises in the east I would look west for a sunrise. Kerry and Jane Fonda are two of the most despicable people in America.
I echo both Billy Ray and Tom. Our host has more boot time in Vietnam that that imposter Kerry had.
Medals, my God, I don’t know of anyone but Kerry who had the gall to ask for one. Any I earned were earned equally by my fellow troops as we were a tight team, I was shocked to get any awards from the CO or anyone else, only our severely wounded got a day off, all the officers were in the field too. As Billy Ray stated many didn’t want that purple heart and ignored minor wounds or lied about what happened to stay with their buddies. It wasn’t about patriotism but survival. Kerry doesn’t have the credentials or connections to top the PT109 farce, unless he goes to Hanoi!!! The PBR109 on the Nung River, ‘snort’, he tried that too!!! It was during that secret Cambodian mission. Happiness would be a threesome, John and Jane on one side of a Gimbal with Barack and Nancy on the other, just a Swinging.
Sen Kerry: “Irresponsible” To Commit More Troops
MA, irresponsible to elect this Kerrychter to the senate.
Hanoi John Kerry, what is left to be said about this POS. Three Purple Hearts and 3 bandades. What a dispicable son of a bitch. What is worse, the bastard wrote himself a Silver Star.
So now he had better be careful his sugardaddy, Tedy aint around anymore to bail his ass out.
“If John Kerry told me the sun rises in the east I would look west for a sunrise.”
Good one Tom.
