the following is a completely ridiculous statement by presidential wannabe john kerry: "With the same energy...I put into going after the Viet Cong and trying to win for our country, I pledge to you I will hunt down and capture or kill the terrorists before they harm us."
does that mean you're gonna quit the war on terror after 4 months, john? get a few scratches and decide it's time to come home again? and then maybe protest against the whole thing, throw your medals (or the presidential seal, or whatever) away, and yammer on about how horrible our troops are? the same troops, by the way, that helped establish a democratic republic (or something along those lines... i'm not sure what the official name for it is) in afghanistan, and are working to do the same in iraq. the same ones that you voted against funding for, and then had the gall to say to them that "help is on the way." if you were a real man, mr. kerry, you would realize that you are bad for the country, and drop out of politics altogether.
"John Kerry in New York Monday accused President Bush of creating a crisis of historic proportion in Iraq. He called for a national debate on Iraq and the war on terrorism. Then he voted to cut funding for podiums, moderators and water glasses." --Argus Hamilton
Amen, Brian, to everything you said.
ReplyDeleteKerry has NEVER bad-mouthed troops. I am so sick and tired of conservatives arguing that since Kerry has bad-mouthed the war, he's attacking our troops. What a load of BS.
However, just today, Bush-supporter Rudy Giulani did exactly that in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show.
Here's the video clip
aren't you the one who's always saying to look at things in context forrest? i really wouldn't call that badmouthing, he's making a point. of course the president isn't responsible for checking those bunkers... that's up to the troops on the ground, that was part of their job.
ReplyDeletein partial response to brian (hopefully i'll get around to the rest later), real men, like oliver north, turned down a third purple heart so they could stay with their men. here are some links to other (dubbed by me) real men:
