Because last I knew, Bush wasn't in Iraq. Would more people have believed him if he said that? Or is he just grasping at straws?

I read in an article that the U.S. Navy used to recruit people overseas, is it still active today or have they terminated their international recruitment of enlisted personnel?

What exactly has Kerry lied about?

Senator Kerry misrepresented his own actions and those of his fellow officers and men. We believe that some of that misrepresentation resulted in him receiving medals to which he was not entitled. While many people might think that is immaterial, it is a matter of great importance to military personnel and veterans. As our chairman, Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman, U.S. Navy (Ret.), has said, “This is not a political issue. It is a matter of his judgment, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty and trust -- all absolute tenets of command.”

It is a matter of public record that John Kerry lied before Congress when he falsely portrayed his fellow service personnel in Vietnam as rapists and baby killers. John Kerry claimed that American troops were guilty of “crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command,” and that we “personally raped” and otherwise brutalized innocent civilians. Kerry specifically accused Swift boat personnel of “showing the flag and firing at sampans and villages along the banks” and “butchering a lot of innocent people.” None of that is true.

We believe Senator Kerry’s irresponsible accusations damaged the U.S. war effort. Whether his testimony was designed to advance a political or personal agenda, we do believe that testimony endangered our prisoners of war, dishonored those injured and killed in action and did irreparable harm to the reputation of servicemen who served honorably in Vietnam only to return home to unwarranted ridicule and abuse.

Drawing on the credibility of a tour of duty in Vietnam, however abbreviated, John Kerry shaped a false, slanderous image of U.S. military personnel as violent, vicious and brutal. U.S. military personnel, Senator Kerry told the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, are collectively “a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence.” That is untrue. As with military men and women today, U.S. military personnel in Vietnam went out of their way to safeguard innocent life, often taking casualties themselves rather than putting civilians at risk.

Having lied to the world about his former comrades, it is our view that Senator Kerry is unfit to command our sons and daughters as Commander-in-Chief.

Ok here’s the situation, last night before I went to bed I went to say goodnight to my kids. One is 16 years old and the other is 18 both in high school. I said goodnight to my 16 year old and then moved to my 18 year olds room. I knocked once and opened the door, and my son quickly turned off his monitor and pulled up his pants. I yelled at the top of my lungs “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” He was yelling at me and I was yelling at him, don’t really need to go in detail. After we both claimed down we sat and talked about the situation. Apparently he was chatting with this 18 year old girl online and one thing led to another and they started having cyeber sex. I had no idea what to say, I was shocked. We ended with me leaving the room with nothing to say to him. So I was just wondering if cyber sex was illegal and if my son can get in trouble for doing this type of stuff. Also I want to know how I can prevent this form ever happening again. Thanks

How do we justify a war that isn't related to anything we're supposed to be fighting for?

o Saddham was nauseated by Osama.
o There were no WMD's.
o North Korea has more nukes than Iran and Iraq combined.
o Now, more innocents have died in the name of arrogance and war-mongering than in the twin-tower assault.

What do you plan to do in November?

I don't really care about you how you feel. The question is... What are you going to do in November!

You right-winger's are all busy smoking dope, and watching sports, and fox news. Good luck, boys, getting laid tonight.
Light another dooby, and drink some more brew. You'll think differently when you're drafted. :

"The firebombing of the Marseille bus raised a national cry of indignation. It was the most vicious in a series of bus burnings around the Oct. 27 anniversary of the start of fiery riots a year ago" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061102/ap_on_re_eu/france_suburban_violence

We all know who did this, but they believe they have a right to their idea of a religious state, so doesnt the argument that leftists use to excuse Jihadist violence also apply here or is France just to precisious for leftists to apply the "freedom fighting" standard equitiably?

Call me crazy, but I just never ever equated terrorism with "freedom fighting"? How can attacks, only meant to kill civilians imply freedom ever? Arent those civilians the people who these supposed freedom fighters are trying to free?

Leftists...let me ask you...the next time you dub terrorists "freedom fighters", can you at least poll the terrorised area to see if the people want this freedom of the terrorists?

France is f****d

Kerry screwed up and accidently insulted the troops one time.

Bush, on the other hand, is essentially a mass murderer of american troops.

...but you found out that he had a criminal past leading up to that crime, would you be like me and figure he deserved the jail time?

To me, if someone is a habitual criminal (burglary, theft, etc...) and he is wrongly accused of a murder, I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry if he was sentenced to die.

Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth
Service to Country


Online Petition

To: Senator John Kerry (D-MA)


Upon your return from Vietnam, you betrayed your fellow veterans by accusing them of engaging in horrendous war crimes. Through your post-war activities, and during Senate testimony viewed by the entire nation, you created and nurtured the myth that American soldiers in Vietnam were involved in such crimes on a daily basis, and that such activity was sanctioned by our commanding officers. Specifically, you stated that we: "had personally 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, [and] razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

You continue today to make claims of atrocities for which you have no documentation, no support, and no evidence.

You met with North Vietnamese officials in Paris and worked with them in the furtherance of their political and military objectives against the United States.

As you now seek to become Commander in Chief of our armed forces, we believe it is incumbent upon you to better explain to the American public your conduct in this matter. Specifically, we ask you to:

* Acknowledge to the American public that you did not personally witness any such atrocities or, in the alternative, cite such examples and then provide an explanation of what actions you took relative to these alleged war crimes.

* Explain to the American public the nature and extent of war crimes in which you participated.

* Explain to the American public your justification for contacting and working in conjunction with a foreign government then at war with the United States.

* Provide an acknowledgment and apology to the American veterans for your all encompassing accusations, and more specifically to our POWs for any extensions of their internment caused by your actions.

* Personally respond factually to the challenges made against your service in Vietnam by some 275 men who served with you.

Senator Kerry, the vast majority of the men who served with you, and the entire chain of command, have refuted your representations of your conduct in Vietnam. To date, you have repeatedly refused to respond to these statements, electing instead to have professional political operatives flood the media with efforts to discredit these former comrades. We want to hear from you.

We the undersigned consider your response on these five points to be critical to this nation's decision to entrust our military forces to you. If you betrayed us once, we need to be assured that you will not do it again.

It is time for you to set the record straight.

Signed,
288 signatures to date.

I mean really after all this is said and done what will we complain about next. I say as long as they aren't bothering me all the power to them.

You dont have to like them to understand them. Instead of spending so much money on that wall, we should be worrying about all the children in the USA that have no where to live. Or making the US a better place, and not by descrimination.
