Jack and the Magic Hat. Episode One

first ... you rule Charles! and so do the brave Iraqis of today!

Does anyone really give a rodents' dairy air?

Cambodia? Form 180? How convenient for Kerry that the MSM waited until after the election to ask these questions.

As I said before, this interview left me speechless. Thank G-d this moron didn't get elected. Here was some of my favorite parts:

MR. RUSSERT: Specifically, do you agree with Senator Kennedy that 12,000 American troops should leave at once?

SEN. KERRY: No.

MR. RUSSERT: Do you believe there should be a specific timetable of withdrawal of American troops?

SEN. KERRY: No.

MR. RUSSERT: What would you do?

SEN. KERRY: I understand exactly what Senator Kennedy is saying, and I agree with Senator Kennedy's perceptions of the problem and of how you deal with it. I would--in fact, last summer, if you'll recall, I said specifically that if we did the things that I laid out--the training, the international community, the services and reconstruction, and the elections and protection--we could draw down troops and begin to withdraw them.

OH MY G-D!

Fox is running that fucking footage of the DANCING IRAQIS with a newly written theme song!

This John effin Kerry shithook also claimed he would sign the 180 form to release his military records. You believe this and you must believe Muhammad's hallucinations too.

RUN THAT FUCKING FOOTAGE!

WOOO HOOO

Did Kerry get flustered at Russert’s question and start embroidering again?

He could not have started pulling out stitches now, could he? As for "embroidering"...you demean the art!

I'm sick of this Jo.Ke.

Why would the CIA be running weapons to the Communist Khmer Rouge, anyway?

Err, I think the Bouffant Buffoon has finally lost whatever bit of sanity he had.

As Charles said, WHY would the CIA be sending weapons to the Khmer Rouge?

If this is true:

The Khmer Rouge (KR) Communist insurgency ended in 1999 after a series of defections, military defeats, and the capture of group leader Ta Mok. The US State Department removed the group from the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations in 1999. The Cambodian Government has been working on a draft law for the United Nations to establish a court to try former KR for the deaths of up to 2 million persons in Cambodia during the 1975-79 period.

Then John Bouffant Kerry should be tried also...along with his imaginary friends.

If I were one of the Swift Vet guys, I would begin to realize that Kerry is like a vampire--it's going to take a stake to the heart to take him out once and for all. I say keep pushing on those same issues as during the campaign until you finally have the truth out of him. Then we all can forget about him. Right now, Kerry won't go away because his narcissism won't let him, and he imagines that in 4 years all will be forgotten again. Get him.

He's better stick to that story, or else he'd be guilty of blatant perjury before a Congressional Committee, an instantly impeachable offense.

For the very first time, I actually watched George StephanopolASS this morning interviewing uber woman Condi Rice...did anyone see that excrement?
I hurled at my screen

He ran the murderer Kennedys speech asking her to refute his "points"
He went on to barrage her with the "highest number of dissenting votes to her confirmation -13 in Amercian History"

Ms Rice replied lets talk about the 85

honestly dont know how she contained herself
How do the American people watch this obvious subterfuge?

Oh, this is just too rich! I'm laughing so hard my sides hurt and I can't breathe.

Every time I think Effin' has said the stupidest think possible, he exceeds my expectations with something even worse. Think of it - this bozo was the best person in the whole damn country that the Dims could come up with for their candidate for President.

Along with Treadwater Ted's speech two days ago, the Democratic Party has officially hit bottom, and is now digging up splinters.

I saw that line of Iraqi men dancing on Fox. It all good! Let freedom ring and down with the smug and cynical. Lets aspire to the good rather than wallow in MSM nonsense.

Now why wasn't wearing his magic hat here?

THE DANCING IRAQI POLICEMEN!

dennisw:

I believe Monsewer Kerry left it that his 180's would be released...but he has a list of stuff (unnamed) that needs to be released by others first.

This may not stand up to his words, but what does?

Kerry still can say No without saying Yes, and Yes without a No to every question. Man he does'nt learn at all.

So does this make Kerry complicit in the Khmer Rouge mass murder?

This has been baffling me all day

#61 Ed Mahmoud abu al Qahool Martyr Brigades 1/30/2005 10:22AM PST
Anyone here hear John Francois defend his lies about being in Cambodia (seared, seared in his memory) sya that he indeed went into Cambodia with a hat giving CIA agent to deliver weapons to the Khmer Rouge?

While I was in DC for the inauguration, I was walking down the hill from my hotel to get some dinner while I was talking to a friend. We were talking about how bad it would be if Lurch had won and this was his time. I made the comment "If this was Lurch's inauguration, I certainly wouldn't be here". A woman walking in front of us just started giggling. It was so nice being in DC surrounded by Republicans.

Lurch is a piece of shit and a habitual liar. I doubt even the Massholes will re-elect him and the end of this term.

#6 -- The song Fox played is the new Iraqi national anthem.

OT

anyone else see the Pope getting attacked by a peace dove?

heliotrope
___

I realize that Effin issued some qualifications such as that others (what others?) would have to release their 180s concurrent with him. Donk obfuscation.

I'm convinced Kerry has a congenital absence of sensory nerve endings. Otherwise, he'd be in so much pain from stepping on his own d**k repeatedly that he'd have stopped by now.

Or he's incapable of learning.

anyone else see where Kerry said "he originally did'nt go into Cambodia, but later did"

kind of like the old '87 billion' line eh?

Speaking as someone who has spent time in Cambodia and studied that country's history, the idea that the CIA would be running guns to the Maoist Khmer Rouge makes no sense whatsoever. The US was backing the government of Sihanouk. And 1968? Puh-leez. Practically no one outside of Cambodia had even heard of the Khmer Rouge in 1968. The US first bombed on the Cambodian side of the border in 1969, and foreign troops weren't crossing into Cambodia until 1970, John L. Kerry.

AtlasShrugged: Yeah and compare Georgie's interview with Condi with the tongue bath he gave Evan Bayh afterwards.

As for SKerry, he's like a bad comedian who doesn't realize it's time to leave the stage. Note to Kerry: even my family members who voted for you don't want to hear about your effing magic hat or time in Vietnam anymore! You're yesterday's news, bud!

Russert also asked John Francois about a poll showing even the residents of California on the Atlantic (ie, Massachusetts) by a 60 to 39 margin don't think he should run for POTUS again.

John Francois answered that he doesn't believe in polls.

#15 AtlasShrugged

I'll never forget watching The War Room in an undergrad polisci class, and watching that weasel Stephanopolous run down the hall after Pro-Clinton pundits about to go on a talkshow, screaming last minute instructions about what talking points to raise. A decade later, he'd be hosting shows like that. The MSM had zero credibility with me after that point. (Yes I know about Roger Ailes at Fox News, but at least he recognizes the phenomenon of media bias and tries in good-faith to offset it on his network.)

"We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia."

Huh? I guess what they say about Americans not knowing geography is true. A quick look at a map of Cambodia shows that traveling upriver gets you to the interior of Cambodia, not the coastline.

What an idiot.

John Francois answered that he doesn't believe in polls.

Another lie, since polls are about the only things he actually believes in. Okay, maybe that and an imaginary CIA agent who gave him a magic hat...

What (#25) reaganite said.

I wish Russert were better informed; he could have easily torn Kerry down today. Russert even seems to have forgotten that Kerry promised him before the election that he would sign his Form 180...something he has not done to this day.

John L. Kerry's pathetic lies about Cambodia are seared -- seared -- into my brain.

Half wit moron from Mass. that even Kos admits was the wrong candidate, giving advice to those who felt he was the lesser choice to run this country for the next 4 years! WTF is wrong with the people in Mass.? Don't the citizens of Ma relize he's embarrasing them? What is with them, after having an internationally reknown drink named for Ted, the Chappaquitik (sp) scotch and murkey water, I'd think they want to elect representatives that make them look like they can produce candidtates worth respect instead of haning onto the legacy of the Kennedy's, a bunch of drunks, and their boy Swift Boat Johnny.

#25 reaganite

Hey! I was wondering where/how you were. Was fixing to send out the email beacon.

How was the inauguration?

Christmas in Cambodia and form 180--seems like those were crucial issues, say, about five months ago. Hey Russert, congratulations on that timely, cutting edge reporting.

yes, this was the face of the Democratic party.

AHHH HAA HAA HAAA HAAA!

ambisinistral (#35): Actually, most of us have some knowledge of geography, and everyone knows that going upriver anyplace takes one away from the sea, thus, by definition, away from the coast.

It's just that Kerry thinks we're all idiots. And the LLL is only too willing to oblige him in his fantasies.

Where he met a French family, lost a man to spear attack, and finally manged to complete his mission against Col. Kurtz. John Kerry has issues which require immediate therapy. Someone needs to tell him he lost the election.

#40 Sarah D.

Hey! I was wondering where/how you were. Was fixing to send out the email beacon.

Been travelling as usual. I got back from Cleveland on Thursday.

How was the inauguration?

No clue, I saw what I could on TV but I was working night shift, again...

Beagle: LOL!

Hey Kerry

Next time ya talk to yer goon in Paris

ask him how things are going in the Ivory Coast

BWAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!

(did I get it right that time, RWNJ?)

Beagle

ROFL! I LOVE literary allusions!

Kerry in congenitally dishonest; that's the bottom line. I really hope someone deconstructs that interview sentence by sentence. But then again, why bother? It's not as if he matters.

I still have my magic burkha.

It covers my shame.

Kerry needs to know shame. Shame is your friend.

Kerry needs to know Allah Ta'ala. He is compassionate and merciful.

Kerry needs to know Islam. It's a pretty cool religion. He would have won the "election" had he embraced Islaam. The perfect way of life.

Allahu Akhbar.

Nooo, I missed this. Damn, damn, damn. Too bad the Bullshit Meter wasn't hooked up to him..

#52 American Infidel

I want that form signed and I want all of his records to be released...

Never going to happen...

American Infidel

Don't you wish Tim Russert had whipped out the form and a pen then and there?

Hi Reaganite! How have you been? I'm glad you're back.

35 ambisinistral

Huh? I guess what they say about Americans not knowing geography is true. A quick look at a map of Cambodia shows that traveling upriver gets you to the interior of Cambodia, not the coastline.

Another of his famous quotes was something to the effect of "traveling on the Mekong on the border between Cambodia and Vietnam." Except that the Mekong flows from Cambodia into Vietnam.

Or maybe, like you know how the CBS memos could actually be true, maybe Kerry is telling the truth. Maybe in 1968 President-elect Nixon ordered him across the border into Cambodia at the coast near Phnom Pehn, hundreds of miles from any fighting in Vietnam, to give weapons to an obscure Maoist group of no more than a few hundred peasant fighters opposing a US ally. President-elect Nixon then made an unprecedented radio address to deny that he, the president-elect, had sent troops into Cambodia. The few existing Khmer Rouge, of course, journeyed down from the northern part of the country all the way to the capital to receive these weapons from John L. Kerry. And he got a magic hat out of the deal, so that's enough proof for me.

wish Russert were better informed; he could have easily torn Kerry down today.

Addison, I don't believe for a second that Russert is uninformed. His M.O. is to save the tough questions for Republicans and let asinine comments by Dems slide.

If a Republican said something like "We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia," Russert would be all over it immediately.

In one sense, I think the media's obvious bias has actually benefited the GOP - it keeps them on their toes. Part of the sorry state of the present Democratic party is due to the fact that they seldom get called on their idiocies and it's made them intellectually sloppy.

This boob has to be the most inarticulate poseur I've ever run across. Can the guy EVER FINISH A FUCKING SENTENCE?

He's a nervous nellie, addicted to run-on sentences because he has no solid inner core. He's a see-through puppet of whatever the wind blew in that day.

Please, please -- it's time to relegate him to the "Where are they now?" bin...

#44 mommydoc,

I know. What's really amazing is that Kerry actually was on that river, ta think he might have recalled it ran inland. At any rate, Apocolypse Now, the movie he used to inspire his exploits in Cambodia, also took place in the interior.

Seesh... how lazy and incomptetent of a liar does that paint him?

#56 Yossarian

How have you been?

Not bad, just busy. You?

hanoi john the traitor is to America what judas was to Jesus, or brutus to caeser...a lying backstabber!

Is John Kerry Mentally Ill?

All kidding aside, if failed presidential candidate John Kerry really believes what he says about his military service, it would indicate that he is delusional.

He might really be a highly functional Narcissistic Personality Disorder patient with delusions of grandeur.

Diagnostic Criteria

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

requires excessive admiration

has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Hey Kerry:

BE A HERO - SIGN ONE EIGHT ZERO!

He is so full of BS that he can't keep a cork in it.
I know that he was a damned traitor in Vietnam and is a damn traitor today.

I enlisted in the Marines when I graduated high school in 1981, spent all but 16 weeks of 4 years in a garage working on engines. I didn't go to Genada, but after the stories were passed from one person to another I have some whoppers to tell my grandkids about my being there.

I'm sure JFK doe too!

#65 American Infidel

Perhaps not, but I am not forgetting about it either...

Neither will I but OTOH, even the Massholes are sick of him. He will shortly be impotent and irrelevant.

#58 Ex-dem,

Yeah it is pretty funny how ignorant the majority of the Khmer Rouge's US fanbase is SO ignorant of the history and geography of the movement. The NVA/VC and KRs did not exactly have a love affair with each other either.

Like you said John was on a CIA mission to subvert US policy in the form of undermining our loyal ally in Sihanouk...

a-yup...and hey luckily the CIA decided that they needed to take the loudest and noisiest brown water craft in our inventory to make this "uber-secret tactical logistical insertion"...

er uh Okay John...

seared, seared into my memory...

actually, sadly it is one of my first girlfriends was a Khmer refugee.

'Nam Grunt

Oh, definitely Judas. Judas starting out on Jesus' side but betrayed Him for his own interests. Brutus was manipulated by Cassius and genuinely thought he was doing what was best for Rome by assassinating Caesar (at least in the Bill Shakespeare version).

But at least Judas felt enough shame to go hang himself.

John who?

#62 reaganite

Same...Been on LGF all day, watching Fox News. What a great day for democracy! But it's always fun to poke fun at Kerry and his pal Ted.

Did Kerry get flustered at Russert’s question and start embroidering again?

That brings to mind an image of Kerry knitting the names of his enemies, vowing revenge, like Madame Defarge in A Tale of Two Cities.

Is John Kerry Mentally Ill?

No, I think he's just a pompous, lying windbag.

Kerry, didn't he serve with Commander McBragg? Or was it Captain Crunch?

Kerry does a 180 on Form 180:

Yes, I will.

Then he goes on to demand, in another 180, that

... those who have who have challenged me, let's see their records.

In effect, "You show me yours... and I'll show you mine". Like a curious little kid, wanting to see pee-pee. How puerile.

At least Dukakis had the grace and good sense to disappear, as did Mondale (for the most part) and other losers. You didn't see Dole attacking Clinton in 1996. In any event, this new lie will haunt Kerry if he decides to try to run again. "What kinds of weapons were you delivering to the Khmer Rouge?" "On who's orders?" "Where on the 'coastline' were you?" "Did you help the Khmer Rouge in any other ways or was that it?"

Hell, this might hurt him in 2008 if he runs for re-election and the Republicans can find a legitimate opponent.

Kerry even wrote a review of Apocalypse Now when it came out, it was published in the Boston paper. He was highly critical of the film, but said he could relate to Martin Sheen's character, as he also went on a secret mission to Cambodia, in the his review.

Have to look it up...

OK, Anyone who can keep a straight face after reading this, please let me know how you did it! Soros Says Kerry's Failings Undermined Campaign Against Bush

And this, re the topic: John Kerry the Grinch Who Doesn’t Like Iraq Election Results

OK, I am a Jew, and I have cried so many times today, watching the coverage, even on NBC, of the Iraqis voting. To see them dressed, in many cases, in their best clothes, walking as a family, with little kids on their dad's shoulders...to see a man in his 70's, a Kurd, who can barely walk, supported by what I assume his 2 sons, walking a mile to vite, as no cars, etc., were allowed to be on the roads, just to vote, and walk a mile back? These sights, plus the dancing and singing, and pure joy on the faces of people who have never known freedom like this, and to see the women voting...it is a wonderul day.

I get chills watching this. I do not know if our troops can come home any sooner, but what was accomplished today, mainly because we have a President who cared, and the best damned military in the world, who brought about the first free elction for Iraq, is IMHO, a miracle. What the future brings, no one can say, but somehow I do not think that the Iraqi people will allow the tantrum-throwing sadamn disciples, who stayed away from the polls, ever to rule again.

As for hanoi John and Kennedy? There is a special place in hell reserved for them, Barbara Boxer and hil..I can't wait for her(?) to speak out of both sides of her mouth on this issue. Since my birth certificate has Massachusetts on it, I guess I have to leave it intact, darn it.

Russert was stupid to even give Hanoi john an outlet.

Kerry was running weapons to POL POT? Try this man for treason now. And Duh, Tim, No Follow-up? Couln't think of a single question off-script? Turn in your license. Your too stupid to be on TV. Maybe all that morning time with Perky Katie Couric atrophied your brains.

JOHN KERRY:
"On more than one occasion, I like Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now," took my patrol boat into Cambodia. In fact I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."

#72 Yossarian
I watched some of it this morning before I drove home. I was loving it. I made the comment "the MSM's and jihadi's heads are exploding all over the world today".

Yossarian

Oh, goody, another allusion! And yours is really good because Madame Defarge was utterly consumed with hatred and the desire for revenge beyond all reason. One of my favorite scenes is when Miss Pross prevents Mme. Defarge from killing Lucie, announcing, "I am an Englishwoman>"

See? Even Dickens knew the fanatic French were bad news.

#52

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

MR HEINZ KERRY: Oh Tom, er Tim! My swimming coach, Chappaquiddick Ted, said I could do the 180 in great form froggy style.

This is a gem:

Russert: Specifically, Senator, do you still agree with yourself?

Alas, the tragedy of mental illness remains untreated in Kerry...

Nothing ever changes with this guy, he's a loser, end of story. By now his comments don't ever surprise me, it's just lame that the MSM still gives this guy a mic as if he's still a candidate. Next thing ya now we'll be hearing crazy ass coments from that old hag of a wife of his...

"We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia.”

This is a major, MAJOR Goebbels/Minstry of Truth moment for a leading LLL.
One small correction, though. At the time, the Cambodian government, headed by Beijing's running dog, Prince Sihanouk, was pro-Communist. He had allowed the North Vietnamese Stalinists to occupy the eastern portion of the country and turn it into a base for their aggression against South Vietnam.
An anti-Communist government took over in 1970 and sought to expel the Vietnamese. The Chinese-oriented Khmer Rouge became a fighting organization at that time and allied itself with the North Vietnamese.
Afterward, the US supported the Cambodian government against the Khmer Rouge and its Communist Vietnamese allies.
This is a matter of history, easily demonstrable from thousands of comteporary sources.

The myth that the US "supported the Khmer Rouge" has been around for a number of years, but this usually refers to the period after the Vietnam War when the Vietnamese Stalinists had a falling out with their erstwhile allies.
At that point, it became acceptable for former (and provable) K-M supporters like Chomsky and McGovern to begin criticizing them.
This myth is a major talking point for historically illiterate campus LLLs (that is, all of them).

Kerry's outlandish claim that we sent weapons to the Khmer Rouge when they were strongly and obviously allied with the enemy is a significant escalation of this revisionist myth.
He might as well claim that lend-lease sent weapons to the Nazis during World War 2, or that the Doolittle raid was actually a re-supply mission for Japanese forces in China.

This is open, provable, obvious lying. President Bush and every veteran in the country should call him out on it.
I believe the Senate should censure Kerry for this.

I love this part:

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim...

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will. But everything that we put in it, Tim--everything we put in--I mean,

Show the pictures! Of course, how the hell is he going to prove the date on those shots?

#75 Braindirt

... those who have who have challenged me, let's see their records.

Wouldn't it have been appropriate for Russert to point out that they weren't running for president?

OT The Founding Fathers would have been proud of George Bush today.

I think the media's obvious bias has actually benefited the GOP - it keeps them on their toes. Part of the sorry state of the present Democratic party is due to the fact that they seldom get called on their idiocies and it's made them intellectually sloppy.

I agree. Some examples:

Dems in 2000 didn't know how strongly Red America felt about 2nd amendment rights because MSM is against that. Gore may have carried Tennessee if the Dems had a clue about how the common people think. MSM mirrors east/west coast elitism.

MSM totally ignored the SBVT when they first came out. So the vets said fine, we'll do this ourselves. They did the book, raised some money, ran ads. Instead of the story running its course in May and June, it was in the forefront in Sept and Oct.

What a pathetic, orange-faced, miserable traitor he really is.

A disgrace.

I wonder if Russert will have a breaking interview with Algore next. He's a loser too.

Yeah it is pretty funny how ignorant the majority of the Khmer Rouge's US fanbase is SO ignorant of the history and geography of the movement. The NVA/VC and KRs did not exactly have a love affair with each other either.

Like you said John was on a CIA mission to subvert US policy in the form of undermining our loyal ally in Sihanouk...

Sent there by the president-elect, no less!

Yes, Cambodia's history is enough to make one weep. I spent a few weeks there last year, and after a couple of days in-country, it dawned on me: Where are the old people? I'm in my early thirties, and looking around through the crowded public market, I didn't see more than two or three people older than myself. In Thailand and Vietnam, by contrast, you'll see plenty of older women at the markets. Let's see, when was I born? (counting back) Oh. Most of the city-dwellers older than me were murdered. That realization left me with a sick feeling in my stomach. But of course what is one of the worst crimes in the history of mankind if not a chance to aggrandize one's personal story? John L. Kerry . . .

"On more than one occasion, I like Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now," took my patrol boat into Cambodia. In fact I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."

And we have a winner in the over the top fiction writing.

#63 Nam Grunt

This was a significant slip of the tongue by JF'nK. We know that he met with VC and NVA cadre in Paris in 1971. His now admitted gun running to the Communist Khmer Rouge in 1968 is now the earliest self-admission of treason. There must have been some earlier meeting before he went overseas that set all this up. I'm beginning to think his story is true, except that secret agent he got the hat from was Soviet.

Hey, Lurch. Be happy to swap signed Form 180s. What dead drop should we use to exchange?

#97 ex-dem,

Hey JungleJohn swore that all that would happen if the US pulled the hit and split in Vietnam was that AT MOST 1500 or so people would be killed...

The Founding Fathers would have been proud of George Bush today.

Actually, you're completely "on topic". Kerry could have been President. Today was a great day for democracy--- and a very bad day for Democrats, wasn't it.

Sven,

His movie review came out in 1979. So how can he now say his memory is fuzzy as to the exact date...

remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being

So let's refresh your memory, Senator, here is a movie review you wrote back in 1979...

Sven..

I now believe the movie, Apocalypse Now, may have been the catalyst for this particular Kerry fake Vietnam story... I don't believe Kerry ever mentioned the Cambodia story at all, until after the movie came out in 79.

So Kerry ran weapons to the Khmer Rouge in 1968? That is funny because they didn't start using that name until the 1970's

The Communist Party of Cambodia was founded in the early 1950s, although in its early years it remained subordinate to the Communist Party of Vietnam. In the 1970s the Party adopted the name "Party of Democratic Kampuchea," ("Kampuchea" being an alternative spelling of Cambodia), but became commonly known by the French name Khmer Rouge. From the mid 1960s the Cambodian Communists conducted a low-level insurgency along the Vietnamese border, mainly in support of the Vietnamese Communists in their war with the United States.

Wikipedia

I can't emphasize strongly enough that Kerry is obviously lying. There was really no such thing as the Khmer Rouge in 1968. The pro-communist Prince Sihanouk was still in control of Cambodia in 1968. The forces that later made up the Khmer Rouge were his supporters at the time.

In later years, after the Khmer Rouge had gained and then lost control of the country, Sihanouk in fact became titular head of the Khmer Rouge.
Sihanouk eventually returned to Cambodia as King and he still sits on the throne today, but has no real influence over policy.

Um...Kerry is addmitinng he ran guns to the enemy of our allies during a time of war? That strikes me as 'giving aid and comfort', no?

Of course none of this really bothers me because it's pure BS. He's just making stuff up. Or he doesn't know the difference between the Cambodian Governement and the genocidal thugs who were fighting it. Either way, he's a moron.

My favorite part is the whole, "I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, “I’m the guy who went up with John Kerry" line. He doesn't know who the guy is? I think hundreds of guys of the right age should just start to confessing to being this guy. It would be like the end of Spartacus.

Then we'll see if he can pick his (imagenary) friend out from the 'real one'.

What a moron this guy is. And he came damn close to sitting in the Oval Office. What a nightmare that would have been.

I've been going to different news sites to view the photo's. The two types that are most moving are:

Throngs of people out walking to the polls. To see dozens or perhaps hundreds walking down a highway to vote is such a slap in the face to the terrorists in Iraq and the doomsayers in the west.

The elderly. One shot shows an 83 year old being carried on the back of his son. Another shows a 91 year old voting with her family.

And the best part was, unlike where I vote, MoveOn.org was not at the polling locations.

And look what new Kerry-fake stories came out during the election. Didn't he say he was in Moscow right after the Berlin Wall fell, underground looking at the secret KJG files. But he named the wrong place?

And he also said he was over in the ME when the end of the Gulf War was declared, but records show it was weeks later...

. And 1968? Puh-leez. Practically no one outside of Cambodia had even heard of the Khmer Rouge in 1968. The US first bombed on the Cambodian side of the border in 1969, and foreign troops weren't crossing into Cambodia until 1970, John L. Kerry.
thank you.

most of us that served in vietnam know that the khmer rouge did not exist as a force, untill 1971, let alone need weapons.

kerry must be thinking about his secret meetings with the north vietnamese, as a traitor.
he probably discussed how to get weapons to the khmer communist, but not on his boat.

the man is traitor trash,
and should face a firing squad,
and i will pay for the bullets.

Kerry a 'a pompous, lying windbag'?

Nah- just a bitch's bitch. A pool boy long past his best-by date.

Not far OT: The Diplomad posted a fine suggestion on his blog today as a way of supporting our men and women in the military:

The other set of people to remember today are the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who knocked off the murderous Saddam regime and who continue to fight those who would restore it or replace it with something equally or more evil. Over 1300 of them have died in liberating Iraq; thousands more have suffered grievous injury. One way of saying thank you to those who have returned injured is by supporting with whatever you can the Wounded Warrior Project or other similar efforts. We would urge all of you to do what you can to help our wounded as they come home and try to readjust to life. Thanks.

Here is a link to the WWP: [Link: www.woundedwarriorproject.org...]

My specialty for years was the detection of deception - in the spoken and written forms and use of body language as well.

I laughed my ass off at poor pitiful John. He is perhaps the worst liar I have seen. His arrogance and self importance convinces him that he can trick the little people.

His attempt to divert what little spotlight that he can still find to himself on such a historic day speaks volumes.

I heard part of the interview and it made me furious. The real story here is that Tim Russert is willing to give this blowhard double crossing US troop backstabber any airtime at all. On the very day that Iraq holds an election after thousands of Americans gave their lives, Tim Russert takes it upon himself to let John Kerry give his opinion on current events, as if it matters at all, as if John Kerry's opinion is what is most important in light of the Iraq election. Absolutely shameful.

hanoi john the traitor wouldn't know cambodia from the bahamas, nor has he ever been in combat F**king lying POS!

First of all, I think Kerry has been shooting crunchy peanut butter into his veins.

The Khmer Rouge murdered (butchered) over a million Cambodians. (book: THE KILLING FIELDS) Even if it were true, no one in their right mind would admit to having a hand in genocide.

I bet if Kerry had been elected (thank you, Lord, for sparing us from that), today's Iraqi elections would have not occurred because they would have been postponed.

I hope he gets some follow up questions about this. "Senator, did you run weapons to the Khmer Rouge? In 1968?" I suspect Shiplordkirel may be correct as to the motivation behind this bizarre statement. The US is always evil, therefore the US created/supported every evil regime, a la Chomsky. While Pol Pot's band of peasants did exist in 1968, IIRC, they were a very minor force. The problems began in earnest when the US started bombing VC encampments in Cambodia, accidentally hitting a village in the process, and the Pol Pot forces spread rumors that the government in Phnom Penh was having the US bomb villagers on purpose. This was all well after 1968, though.

#96 theparson

You mean this albore, the founder of the internet? :)

He could burn down the studio..too hazardous.

"Did Kerry get flustered at Russert’s question and start embroidering again?"

Looks like it. The Khmer Rouge were the enemy--but not in 1968-69. That came later.

You know... I think Kerry really believes this magic hat story. His Walter Mitty fantasies have become real in his mind.

IIRC, John Francois in his "Winter Soldier" testimony suggested that the US had an irrational fear of Communism.

Can't Google on the slow home computer, but he said something to the effect that communism was just another political system.

Does John Francois feel any guilt over the 2 to 3 million murdered during the Cambodian killing fields? Cambodia. Laos and Vietnam all fell just like the discredited "domino theory" said they would.

During Pol Pots reign, IIRC, all teachers, doctors, city residents were considered counter-revolutionaries. Waering eyeglasses was a capital offense, as it was a sign of education.

Pol Pot, of course, was educated in Paris.

#37 — Russert is not ignorant, he is actively covering for Kerry. Remember, he also refused to release the MTP footage of Kerry's 1971 interview...

What did you observe today, as in so far as, body language and speech deception? I love this stuff...

I remember during one debate, where Kerry brought Cheney's daughter, I saw him move in such a way as to make me think he knew what he was going to say was pre-planned and that, aha, here is the time to shoe horn the, "Cheney's daughter is a Lesbian", to shock and awe the viewers who still didn't know.

My condolences to the families. To all our British LGFers, thanks for standing with us.

Kerry is a very disturbed person. His fantasies of becoming the creature in "Apocalypse Now" are just one aspect of his delusions. His debating club training to alternately take multiple sides of any issue deapened his flipflopping. His poor mother's last breaths could have just as well been "Rosebud, Rosebud, Rosebud." and there could be a whole library wing of analyses of his entire vapid life. Democrats clearly have no integrity either if they wanted to make him president. Thank God the rest of us knew the difference between fantasy and reality.

I keyed on the body language right away. As he starts to head into "fantasy" territory, his head dips, as if he doesn't have confidence in the truth of what he's about to say. His voice projection lapses. It all comes together to appear as if he's talking through a burp.

He won't come to the point -- keeps going off topic in the middles of sentences, as if to jam as many words into the airspace as possible so the lie can be ushered in easier. As a result, it's incredibly hard for the listener to follow his thought.

Remember when Elaine on Seinfeld had to say something she didn't want to say? She kind of dipped her head, closed her eyes, gulped and looked uncomfortable? That's what he looked like.

He's a LIAR. And Russert is an asswipe for not calling him on it when he had the chance.

Russert is an opportunist. He saw a chance to get a big name to denounce Bush on a day the MSM convinced themselves was going to be utter chaos. The intent was to provide Kerry the pulpit for the ultimate I told ya so.

Didn't quite work out that way for ole JFK.

#127 eeevil conservative
What about the Pope releasing the Dove of Peace today. A coincidence?

Page 49 of Unfit For Command clears up Kerry's whereabouts in December 1968:

"The story of Christmas 1968 has one final chapter. When refueling his PCF near Dong Tam, Kerry and his crew were told that the Bob Hope USO show was at the Dong Tam base. So Kerry decided to leave his station on the river and go searching for the Bob Hope Christmas show. Unable to find the show, he risked boat and crew by unknowingly blundering into one of the most dangerous canals in Vietnam, a canal that to those who knew the area was notorious for Viet Cong ambushes. Given the easy navigation by radar and map of the rivers involved -- not much more difficult than driving a car -- Kerry had just performed a feat of reverse navigation worthy of Wrong Way Corrigan."

"There is, of course, no record that Kerry ever informed anyone of what he did, where he was, or where he was going -- all required by regulations for the safety of the boat and crew. He did, however, record the Bob Hope adventure in his journal so he could be sure to share it in Tour of Duty."

Jean Francois obviously plans to run again in 2008. Does he really think he can beat Hillary, especially as he is already a loser?

It is bullshit, an outrageous example of leftist revisionism, to blame the rise of the Khmer Rouge on American bombing.
This assumes that widespread popular support was the reason for the Khmer Rouge victory, rather than, say, the massive assistance they received from their Vietnamese and Chinese communist allies or the US Congress's cut-off of aid to the anti-communist Cambodian government in 1974.

In 1969, when bombing started in Cambodia, everyone in the country knew that there were whole divisions of NVA troops, not just VC emcampments, occupying the eastern half of the country. Why would they not blame the Vietnamese communists and their allies, the Khmer Rouge and the Sihanouk regime, for bringing this down on them?
Sihanouk supported the communists and loudly condemned American bombing. Why would anyone blame him for it and join his enemies?
The fact is, the Khmer Rouge were not his enemies by then.

Further, the government the Khmer Rouge overthrew in 1975 was not the same one that held power in 1968 and 1969. It was an anti-communist government headed by General Lon Nol, and which had overthrown the pro-communist Sihanouk early in 1970. THAT is when the real trouble started.

It will take a hundred years to re-educate the indoctrinated masses about this, even though the relevant facts are not in dispute.

Just thinking about the last two Democratic losers to run for the presidency and one is struck by their common traits. They lie a lot. They are both flaming liberals. They haven’t accomplished much in government. They are both poor losers. The Democrats keep on saying the same old thing, they act like 911 did not occur, or if they do, it is only to attack the Republicans. They are losing their constituency and do not have the sense to re-evaluate and change their platform to reflect the change in this country since 911. They continue to pander to every liberal special interest group that represent small but vocal minorities that the vast majority of Americans dislike or have no interest in. Zell Miller told them like it is, and they shot the messenger out of intolerance to non-liberal ideas. The Democrats will lose the next election if they continue down the road to a left-wing socialist nanny state that most Americans abhor.

#133 Ed abdul Brigades,

Well they could likely carry a company's worth of rifles and ammo anyway on a Swiftboat. The Swifts were BIG and loud, think of them as being used as "battleships of the River" where their little cousins the PBR were more like cruisers and/or destroyers. A PT boat(which is the historical forebear of the Swift and PBR) was often used for covert mission profiles where a sub wouldn't work in ww2.

The Swift was the direct inheritor of the PT mission and was intended for coastal patrols and as such had a deeper draft, and was louder. The PBR was essentially a hotrod using high horsepower to ram a neat plastic package along a river with bookoo guns.

Jungle John can't seem to be bothered to acknowledge the differences in his book but they were pretty profound.

Jackass Johnny embellishing his "war record"...what a freaking joke! Next thing out of his piehole will be that he took "uncle" Ho Chi Minh waterskiing down the Mekong...and that Gen. Creighton Abrams called him "rice paddy daddy" for his exploits up and down the Mekong and into Cambodia.

If I remember correctly, Johnny is suffering from "delusions of grandeur" - time to get some therapy, Johnny Boy!

He was in rare form. He used almost every form of deception poorly.

All of his tricks deceived him today - he was beset with gross body movements, trouble controlling pitch of his voice, to the use of lots of extraneous information to avoid any direct answers. Beating around the bush so to speak.

All of these were readily noticed by even the most casual observer.

I've seen his type before - he has told so many lies that at this point I doubt that even he knows what the truth is.

SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork

Well Mr. Kerry, If you are serious about the hat, I suggest you have it checked for DNA. This may help you find your mysterious friend. (Dan Rather, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer)

OK, since I was only 11 years old by 1975, I have never been drunk in either Viet Nam or Cambodia.

But I have been mightily buzzed in Thailand, which is in the general vicinity, and I once ate at a Cambodian restaurant in Oakland or Berkeley that had pretty spicy food.

Kerry releases picture of lucky hat given to him by CIA guy

Mark Steyn, reporting for duty:

"Iraq is going to be just fine"

The ''realpolitik'' types spent so long worshipping at the altar of stability they were unable to see it was a cult for psychos. The geopolitical scene is never stable, it's always dynamic. If the Western world decides in 2005 that it can ''contain'' President Sy Kottik of Wackistan indefinitely, that doesn't mean the relationship between the two parties is set in aspic. Wackistan has a higher birth rate than the West, so after 40 years of ''stability'' there are a lot more Wackistanis and a lot fewer Frenchmen. And Wackistan has immense oil reserves, and President Kottik has used the wealth of those oil reserves to fund radical schools and mosques in hitherto moderate parts of the Muslim world. And cheap air travel and the Internet and ATM machines that take every bank card on the planet and the freelancing of nuclear technology mean that Wackistan's problems are no longer confined to Wackistan. For a few hundred bucks, they can be outside the Empire State Building within seven hours. Nothing stands still. ''Stability'' is a fancy term to dignify laziness and complacency as sophistication.

If you want a good example of excessive deference to the established order, look no further than Iraq. I'm often asked about the scale of the insurgency and doesn't this prove we armchair warriors vastly underestimated things, etc. I usually reply that, if you rummage through the archives, you'll find that I wanted the liberation of Iraq to occur before the end of August 2002. The bulk of the military were already in place, sitting in the Kuwaiti desert twiddling their thumbs. But Bush was prevailed upon to go ''the extra mile'' at the United Nations mainly for the sake of Tony Blair, and thanks to the machinations of Chirac, Schroeder and Co., the extra mile wound up being the scenic route through six months of diplomatic gridlock while Washington gamely auditioned any casus belli that might win the favor of the president of Guinea's witch doctor. As we know, all that happened during that period was that the hitherto fringe ''peace'' movement vastly expanded and annexed most of the Democratic Party.

So much for Kerry.

Here in the north of the country, faith, crime and sheer cold are eroding the regime’s grip at a speed that may surprise the CIA’s analysts: facts that should give ammunition to conservatives in Washington who call for a hardline policy.

Bush’s re-election dealt a blow to Kim, 62, who had gambled on a win by John Kerry, the Democratic candidate. Kim used a strategy of divide and delay to drag out nuclear talks with the United States, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea through 2004.

Kim lost his bet and now faces four more years of Bush, who says that he “loathes” the North Korean leader and has vowed to strip him of atomic weapons.

It is bullshit, an outrageous example of leftist revisionism, to blame the rise of the Khmer Rouge on American bombing.
This assumes that widespread popular support was the reason for the Khmer Rouge victory, rather than, say, the massive assistance they received from their Vietnamese and Chinese communist allies or the US Congress's cut-off of aid to the anti-communist Cambodian government in 1974.

Okay, first, I'm not blaming American bombing for the rise of the Khmer Rouge, and the people who have done that are wrong. It was an indigenous evil that had a lot to do with racial issues in Cambodia (resentment against non-Khmer), rivalry with Vietnam, and communist madness taken to the extreme. From what I have read, though, US bombing was a factor in that Khmer Rouge propaganda blamed the government in Phnom Penh, the Lon Nol regime, for ordering attacks on peasant villages, and there was at least one case of an entire village being wiped out by pilot error. It was of course not true that either the US or Lon Nol were intentionally targeting Cambodian peasants, but the rumor served Pol Pot's purposes, and illiterate peasants believed it. It was and still is a very primitive country; many of the Khmer Rouge had never seen things as basic as toothpaste and glass bottles when they arrived in the capital. And the Khmer Rouge did indeed have both support from Vietnam and China as well as a significant base of popular support at the time they took power. They flamed resentment of the peasants toward the more well-to-do city dwellers. The residents of Phnom Penh and Battambang were terrified of them (rightly so), but many of the peasants really believed in the revolution, at least until the Khmer Rouge began communalizing their lives and putting them in work details. There are still people in Cambodia who support the Khmer Rouge, and not a single Khmer Rouge has ever been brought to trial.

All I know is what I've read, which, admittedly is only about three or four books, as there aren't very many on the subject, and from what I heard from Cambodians while I was in the country.

Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virgina are the traditional butts of every sort of joke about a barefoot, dumbass, ignorant, illiterate, hairlipped, sister-humpin' and uninformed populace.

Mass. was the only state in the union that had a net loss of population in the last census. It seems to me that anyone with 2 working brain cells are escaping that polluted gene pool.

So here's the question... If Johnny and Susie get divorced in Masobtuseness, are they still brother and sister?

#207 ex dem,

good post,
and you are aware that all this happened long after kerry left vietnam. after his 10 week tour of duty.

#210 iron dave

John Kerry has been known to claim (in the Senate, even) that he had been shot at by the Khmer Rouge, among others. I guess it's true what they say about how hard it is to keep all the lies straight. Too bad telling the truth isn't an option.

hmmm...sounds like a great outline for a book for all you Lizardoids who aspire to being an author...

There should be no shortage of material: 20 years of senate records, magazine interviews -- nobody really fact-checking him until he decided to run for President, so his mouth probably shot off lies like Claudine Longet's gun.

Oh yes. That's where the CBS time machine comes in.

Maybe we should lay off Kerry, though, you know, take pity on the guy. It must be really hard to fit all those fantasies into such a short period of time . . .

No, no, no...he was running opium north to Chiang Mai...or was it south?

This is off topic, but somehow fits in a thread about Kerry. Things are worse in Germany than you knew.

I can't wait to see what Cox and Forkum come up with tomorrow!

#135 Les, I really cracked up reading that little tidbit, Kerry couldn`t find the Dong Tam base camp to go to a Bob Hope show. My division, Army, was the 9th, and it`s HQ was Dong Tam.It was situated about a quarter mile or less off the main Mekong River. You`d have had to been blind to miss it. The Navy had a base for it`s boats about 2 or 3 miles downriver, in the town of My Tho. The Mekong is a good mile wide there. If that blundering idiot couldn`t go 3 miles upriver without seeing a huge Army base with constant ingoing and outgoing aircraft flights, instead getting lost in one of those narrow side canals...Well, I `m amazed his crew didn`t throw the idiot dipshit over the side.My sympathies to any Navy men that had to serve anywhere near this pussy.

I just saw the name Howard Dean, well it looks like Howard is going to be the new DNC Chairman...Even Ickes (I hoped I spelled that right, the Clintonista) now supports him, came out with his support last week or two weeks ago...Giant slap to Hillary & Billy...

Howard got the job? Yeeeaaarrrghhh!

But really, how can RunDNC ignore Hill & Bill? They are both masterful politicians who should never be underestimated or ignored. The Dems should always just ask "What Would Bill Do?" I never really liked the guy, but I always respected his ability to read a situation and do the right (political) thing. Howard? Sorry, he's like a can of soup with a big dent in it. Damaged goods. THE tirade ruined him forever.

OT-

Just stained my finger and feel kind of silly. Should have waited till tomorrow, I'll have to wear a glove so my sheets don't get stained.

No, no, no...he was running opium north to Chiang Mai...or was it south?

Hmm... if he went south from Chiang Mai he was probably running rubbers and thai-sticks to Bangkok, Sattahip and Utapao... The plot thickens.

With what I've seen and heard him spew out of his pie hole today that stands so much against what we've spent our sons and daughter lives on I just wonder how much farther he'll be allowed to go before he crosses a line that lands himself behind bars or in front of a hangmans noose for treason.

I would never expect to hear what I have heard from Kerry today from an elected official unless he thought he was above the laws of those who elected him. To denounce the ideas behind our constitution and deny or downplay their meaningfulness to others is a clear and present representation of why he failed to become the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

Mr. Kerry the world appreciates your ability to articulate with us, enjoy your life as the senator from mASS, hopefully it will be as shortlived as your dreams of being the president of the U.S.

John Fraud Kerry is a real piece of $#!t. Now he admits to being a weapons runner to a regime which later murder 2.5 million of its own people. But do we dare believe that since the Kymer Rouge wasn't even a military/political force until several years AFTER Lt. Fraud left the theater of operations? And I still want an official clarification of Mr. Kerry's status under the Constitution since it looks to be more and more the truth he perjured himself before the U.S. Senate and shortly thereafter illegally consorted with the enemy while still on active reserve status with the Navy. Though it would be difficult to make it legally stick, but isn't that engaging in traitorous activities under the Constitution?

What a pathological liar and a seditious political opportunist to boot! You'd think he would have wised up by now and kept his pie-hole shut. It is a pathology with this kook. I agree with one of the earlier posters on this thread, let's sic the Swift-boat vets on this lying jackal and follow up on the petition filed with Senator Frist to find out what the real story is on this moonbat from Massachusetts.

Oh, and to clear the air once for all, he should be politically shamed into signing Form 180 to find out exactly what kind of discharge he initially received from the Navy before he had it whitewashed under Carter's general amnesty.

I was digging around for a map of Cambodia/Vietnam, so I could see the point about the Cambodian "coastline" being mutually exclusive of going 5 miles north of Ha Tein. I had trouble finding one at large enough scale.

However, I found something else:

Free Republic - Can't Get There (Cambodia) From Here

Special to The Augusta Free Press

I read with great interest the article from Alan Schlingenbaum (The politics of distortion, Monday AFP). This title only applies to Alan's article and not to the facts that he has tried to refute. My name is Doug Regelin, and since my name and my facts are brought up in Alan's article so prominently, I think it's only proper that I try to expose Alan for what he really is.

First some facts. Alan and I traded a few e-mails in an effort to resolve what he thought were blatantly incorrect facts that I had stated in my first article. That it was impossible to navigate to Cambodia by water from either of the two An Thoi patrol areas. Since Sen. John Kerry was on a Swift Boat when he allegedly went to Cambodia, my assumption was that it was not possible to navigate to Cambodia by water in a Swift Boat. I stand by this conclusion. Alan has obviously been in contact with others who have given him the same information, but he still chose to go ahead and distort the truth about the contents of the e-mails we exchanged.

Alan has correctly stated that there are numerous canals and tributaries that proceed north from the Vinh Te canal and avoid the mouth of the Bassac. That is correct. None of them, however, will support a Swift Boat. If Alan would like to claim that Kerry went into Cambodia on a sampan, I will concede this point. Sampans are small, maneuverable and very quiet. They were the preferred transport of the Viet Cong. There were a number of small canals that ran north from the Vinh Te that could support sampans, but none of them could support a Swift Boat. Alan can look at maps all he wants. I was there, and it just wasn't possible.

Does anyone have the disposable time and income to do a documentary? If the waterways are too shallow, it would be pretty funny seeing people walking up them. Though LLLs would probably claim they were using stilts. Anything to avoid reality.

In the most celebrated telling of this story before the U.S. Senate in 1986, Kerry said: "I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared – seared – in me."

So the Khmer shot at the guy who was bringing them weapons? Maybe they didn't know who he was ("Do you know who I am?")

#236 Rancher,

Spew alert with coke on my keyboard, ROFLMAO, I don't know you but you shouldn't tell on yourself like that.

{{{[ Nam Grunt }}}

Just hadn't hugged ya in a while-- and felt like huggin' ya!

A Beantwon radio talk show did an online poll asking the listeners which of the two Bay State Senators (Lurch or Fatboy) they thought superior. There was no option for 'neither!'

I hate living here at times.

Just about had my Dad -the CIA spywho went up with Kerry-convinced to come "out of the woodwork" and save Johnnie's story.

That's until he heard he'd have to admit fencing weapons to the Khmer Rouge(this is code for Pops to lay low).

Pops was for coming out before he was against it.

But maybe Edwards will out him...

Thanks eeevil, your hugs are always welcome, isn't this day great, almost as good as the day Dubya won.

What's worse?

Being wrong about WMD or being purposely lied to by Kerry.

Being lied to by Kerry is a deliberate act.

Here are some good questions, comments and insults for Kerry/Kennedy.
you are a disgusting fatbody

NAM

YES! THE DAY IS GLORIOUS!

John Kerry: I love the fresh smell of Khmer Rouge in the morning ...

What an absolute crock of shit. I was in Cambodia in 1970 and giving, selling or swapping weapons with the the Khmer Rouge is just absurd. Yeah, I worked off the approved map and both the KR and Cambodian Merc's were extremely dangerous and never trusted by any of us.
I also don't get this new little flip-flop - before the election, he was absolutely HORRIFIED to find himself in a neutral country; now he's bragging about it?
Hey John, were you with:

tonight is such a GLORIOUS NIGHT

so much to celebrate

I wonder if Charles would do a Karaoke thread?

WE DESERVE TO CUT LOOSE AND CELEBRATE A LITTLE

DOnt ya htink?

So has anyone, anyone, seen this hat? Ever?

Well I penned my e-mail to NBCNews using some of the points here.

That is a pretty amazing trick considering that at the time the "honorable" John Kerry was in Vietnam the Khmer Rouge was a small concern still 2 years from its salad days of 3000 let alone 30,000 members. It was also in the northern provinces away from the river, but I am sure that the "esteemed" Senator was "misremembering" as Bush would be excoriated if he engaged in the same heated fantasy as fact plays.

[Link: www.infoplease.com...]

You may want to inform your boy Johnny that the next time he tries to meld his story with Coppola's that we were SUPPORTING the government of Sihanouk in 1968 in an effort to stem the Ho Chi Minh trail that was largely in vain. In 1969 the soon to be Lon Nol government(ie the military) started to engage the Communists(of whom Prince Sihanouk was an ally) and Sihanouk and the KR started a shaky alliance whereby the KR used sihanouk to give them airs of credibility. Unfortunately a few missteps in our bombing campaign after Lon Nol's coup in early 1970 were the main dues ex machina as it allowed Pol Pot to engage in black PR stating that Lon Nol was asking the US to bomb the peasantry.

The first massive US ground incursions were not until 1970, and prior to that time the majority of work inland was done by MACV/SOG, LRRPS, and Marine Scout/Snipers. None of these forces used Swiftboats as their main insertion method. You guys really owe it to yourselves to go put your eyeballs on a PBR and a Swiftboat and ask yourselves, "which one of these makes more sense for a sneak, peak, and infil mission profile?"

To reiterate we are to believe:

1) Maybe in 1968 President-elect Nixon ordered him across the border into Cambodia at the coast near Phnom Penh, hundreds of miles from any fighting in Vietnam, to give weapons to an obscure Maoist group of no more than a few hundred peasant fighters opposing a US ally. (never mind that the President-elect is NOT Commander-in-Chief until after inauguration i.e. mid to late jan. 1969)

2) President-elect Nixon then made an unprecedented radio address to deny that he, the president-elect, had sent troops into Cambodia. (after all the 'esteemed" Mr. Kerry insists he heard the "President" telling the American people he had not sent US troops into Cambodia, and thus since a simple lexis/nexis shows that the PRESIDENT LBJ had made no such speech the "esteemed" Mr. Kerry must have been talking about "eebil Nixon")

3)The few existing Khmer Rouge, of course, journeyed down from the northern part of the country near Laos all the way to the capital/South Vietnamese border to receive these weapons from John F. Kerry.(hey if he says it it must be so...what kind of rifles was he delivering there Little Russ-I'll bet Big Russ loves your tough follow-ups with Democrats)

4)He got a magic hat out of the deal.( so that's enough proof for me *snicker*...do you guys ever ask to see the hat like a signed 180?)

In closing I am in rapt awe that you people are insisting that your pursue Kerry with ANYTHING like the vehemence you show the Bush administration. NBC is better than CBS, but that is damn faint praise as in the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln, "I am often told I am prettier than an ape." "Little Russ" needs to hide his bias under a basket for awhile or start down the path to Ratherhood.

So they can compell any woman up to age 55 to work as a prostitute or she loses her unemployment benefits? Cool. So I reckon you can get really good workmen's comp for sexually transmitted diseases, huh?

I think the ladies over 55 should sue for age discrimination.

It is not for sale, and actually I confess I sent him one asking a question about one of his books. He was very gracious to respond.

What hurts even more is after sucking Coca Cola up your nose, you shoot it back out again through the nose.

jlfintx

Is that the one where you asked him to put maps in his book?

"GREAT IDE" is a military misspelling for "GREAT IDEA"

Kerry's been huffing way too much paint. Huffing, by the way, is why he was chaptered out of the miltary. I can proove it in about twenty minutes, the latest version of MS Word, and a few runs through the ol' photocopier.

Yes Parson, that is the one. It is a keeper, not for sale, but does that mean I can not gloat?
