Hate to eat and run, but ...

John Forbes Kerry will come home thinking that the troops love him. He has no concept of what would happen to Pvt. Snuffy if he mouthed off at a U.S. Senator.

There's Kerry, always shooting low.

How about acknowledging that the first ever free elections in Iraq's history are a "success"?

That deposing Saddam Hussein was a "success"?

Another lazy slacker ends up in Iraq

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

that was perfect!

Hope a few of those "Grunts" (sorry boys) just took a healthy one and did not wash their hands when it come to locking paws with sKerry.

breaking news alert:

KOS calls for Kerry not to be afforded a security detail and to be encoraged to leave the Green Zone... after al, down-town Bagdad is oh so safe...

hey wait... there's a mistake there somewhere...

That should read "Michelle Malkin", not "John Kerry"...

This fool must still be in denial about losing the election in 2004.

Loser...

The soldier with the black knit cap on looks like he's waivering on whether to shake Kerry's hand or his throat.

There's something funny going on with our foreign policy.

At the exact moment when the Democratic Party and Baker-Hamilton tell us we should be talking with Iran and Syria -- Bingo! There's former Louisiana Republican state representative David Duke talking with Iran and Florida Democratic Senator Ben Nelson in Syria. Not to mention Kerry in Egypt last week honobbing with the Muslim Brotherhood. And then there's Carter, the godfather of the whole lot.

Is David Duke an instrument of American foreign policy?

At the same time Iran is actively engaged in killing Americans in Iraq, there's Duke stoking up their enthusiasm and telling them they're on the right track. No matter what he thinks of the war, he shouldn't be criticizing it abroad in an enemy capital. Make no mistake, that's just what he's doing. Whether you think we shouldn't be in Iraq because Hitler didn't have gas chambers, or you think we shouldn't be in Iraq because Saddam didn't have gas chambers, the net effect is the same, and your national responsibilities as an American citizen is the same. You don't go behind enemy lines where they're shooting at us and give rousing speeches to the enemy. I thought this guy at least shared the same flag with me. Another face lift and he'll be Jane Fonda.

And who paid for his trip anyway?

Kerry, Nelson, Duke, Carter. Forty American have died in Iraq since Baker-Hamilton. How many are these men responsible for?

With the kind of enemy we have these days, it doesn't really matter if you're a little bit wrong for your reasons for wanting them dead.

The soldiers on that detail should each receive a medal for providing Jawn with that photo-op.

/what a disgusting kreeep

Kerry, Carter, Clinton, Mondale, Ramsey Clark... they & other Leftists have spent lots of time in the Middle East preaching that America is evil, Islamic terrorism is justified, and Muslim hatred of America is an understandable response to American aggression.

But then in today's world, such behavior is considered patriotic.

Kerry's going to make a go of it in 08.

He thinks of himself as someone who "should" be President.

What a putz.

Surely Kerry will swing over to Damascus for a little cous cous and tea with the chinless opthomolgist. And I'm sure he'd like to negotiate surrender in Iraq over a bowl of Mrs Akhmedinijad's wonderful goats eye soup.

Useful idiots...
Congressional delegation arrives in Cuba

Leading the 10-member, bipartisan delegation are Reps. William Delahunt, D-Mass., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who have criticized the four -decade-old economic embargo against Cuba as a failure.
...
"Delahunt and Flake have long been advocates of positions that benefit the regime," Diaz-Balart said. "They think we should give the regime what it wants: millions of dollars of U.S. tourism and not insist on freeing political prisoners or holding free elections. ... The fact they are going now is more newsworthy only because Fidel Castro is dying."
...
"There is without a doubt a new reality on the ground in Cuba," said Silvia Wilhelm, executive director of the Miami-based Cuban American Commission for Family Rights, which favors easing the embargo, particularly recent limits on family visits to once every three years. "And on the American side, we have a new reality in Congress."

Wasn't Duke ejected from the Republican Party for being, well, racist and KKK? Didn't he find a more comfortable place to hang his sheet hood with the Democrats? Can't recall the details, but it makes my skin crawl at the injustice to keep seeing (R) being associated with him.

This is how Kerry described his visit with the troops in Basra and Diyala province:

"Today was very informative and very helpful in crystallizing some of my thoughts insofar as what we can negotiate... and what needs to be accomplished," Kerry told The Associated Press by telephone.

Negotiate? Negotiate with who? Al Qaida? The former Baathists? Iran? Syria?
Thank God this man is not leading our great country today.

That first soldier clearly thinks there's an enemy sniper hiding in his wig...

Those soldiers don't look too happy to greet him. Do I detect a little "F**k you, Sir" attitude?

STONE HIM.

Kerry: "Son, follow my lead. Exploit any obscure administrative loophole you can to get out of here. On that note, how many purple hearts do you have? Need any advice on how to 'acquire' more?"

I would not have shaken that puke's hand.

David Duke was a life-long Democrat, until he lost a primary vote and switched to the GOP. The Republican Party has never accepted him and, in fact, has consistently endorsed his Democrat opponents.

Also, I believe that the electorate has given up with no Republican base or excitement in the entire State.
Of course, we could add that the major paper is the Boston Globe with the Worcester Telegram being a subsidiary.

I like what VDH has to say about it:

Does running for President allow a candidate to freelance at a time of war by talking to our enemies and triangulating against the president? Why is Gov. Richardson talking to North Koreans, or Sen. Kerry trying to talk to the Iranians, or Sen. Bayh to the Syrians? Wouldn't that be like a Tom DeLay talking to Milosevic to undermine Clinton during the Kosovo bombing? Or Trent Lott dealing with the Taliban as Clinton sent cruise missiles against them?

President Bush, because he is a Republican, does not have the luxury of using the media provided bully-pulpit. The DNC media witholds that luxury and only gives it to fellow like-minded leftists. Bush isn't allowed to speak out. Even if Bush does speak out, the media twist, lie and contort every word he says beyond all recognition - in the media's unrelenting effort to discredit and damage our President. I tend to agree with you though; so what? Bush should point out this disgraceful behavior any way he can. It seems the republican leadership is out to lunch. They have forgotten how to fight back.

If I go on I will just curse so I will stop.

What's up with the dems touring the mid-east independently? Are they building a new White House somewhere in New England? How about waiting until after the elections in '08?

As a member of the Armed Forces, I can tell you that each one of those soldiers had 4910 reasons why they shook Kerry's hand. It's a blatant photo op for the presidential hopeful and it shows he doesn't give a flying terd about our troops. If he cared, he would have gone over there, had no pictures taken, eaten in the mess tent with the privates, taken a tour of the schools that have been built over there etc.

I have had to shake hands with terds like Delahunt and a few other screwheads. I can tell you this, all I wanted to do was kick each one squarely in the balls. Unfortunately, most of those idiots do not frequent the same bars I do and consequently, I haven't had an oppurtunity to kick them in the teeth.

John Kerry is a disgrace to the uniform, the country, the senate...and quite honestly, his wife is a frickin' ulgly biatch.

If you read Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution I think you will see where the Logan Act is coming from.

I don't elected representatives have any power to negotiate outside the borders; that is an Ececutive job if you ask me.

And I think the people who wrote the Constitution thought so too. It is only common sense that the Country should speak with one voice in these matters.

Notice how the GIs seem so enthused about Jean-Pierre's visit?

And the long lines just waiting to shake their hero's hand hero's welcome the egomaniacal fool expected did not occur.

Memo: Jean-Pierre, the troops don't give a flying fuck about you, the Iraqi Surrender Group, or the defeatism you, the Democratic Party, Chuck Hagel, Lincoln Chaffee and the MSM preach.

It's truly a damn shame that one of the GIs didn't knock this son-of-a-bitch on his sorry Surrender Monkey ass, calling it a vote for freedom, the military and everything this country stands for. There would never be a court martial because at least 100 GIs would step forward and confess.

And none claiming to have witnessed the vote.



"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

The Sunni Muslims consider Bashir Assad, a member of the Alawite Sect, recognized only by an obscure group of Lebanese Shia clerics, to be a heritic.

I don't believe merely being elected to either house of Congress invests authority to conduct unilateral foreign policy. Probably have to check with a lawyer on that.

OK, back to puking.

On the floor of the Senate on March 27, 1986, Sen. John Kerry issued this statement: "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."

Art. 2, Sect. 2 speaks of the executive powers, in foreign matters specifically making treaties in accordance with 66 per cent of the Senate. I see nothing in there that prohibits elected representatives from going on fact-finding trips abroad.

As far as the nation speaking with one voice in foreign matters, that ain't gonna' happen in a multi-party nation. Unless and until we are in a declared war, I see no treason. I don't like it but, I don't see where it is specifically forbidden by law for people to go on fact-finding trips.

OK, here's a winner for outrageous. KOS minion roxnev is listing IQ's of past Presidents.

how about IQ (0 / 0)

Aside from President Nixon all the rest of Republican presidents were just puppets .I say 130 IQ to run for president. Go with smart every time and we will have fewer dumb thing go wrong.

Why do you people in Massachusetts keep electing this moron? Why?

Hard to imagine, but the last time he ran for Senator most people did not know he was up for re-election. There was no republican opposition and as the media usually does they ignored the libertarian candidate.
The same is true of Kennedy's re-election this year. The media pretty much ignored the election and Kennedy refused to debate on broadcast TV. They did do one debate on cable but the date/time was published the same day as it was shown on tape delay. Kennedy has trouble putting 2 or 3 coherent sentences together.
Of interest, you can expect Joe Kennedy to replace the swimmer fairly soon. With a democrat in the statehouse if teddy retires, joe is a shoo in. (although when flipper was running for president, the state legislature made a CYA move and made it a requirement for a special election and took the power away from the governor).
There has been an ongoing campign in MA for the last few years for joey. He heads up a non-profit called the "Citizens Energy Corp" and each winter they run ads with good old joey pulliing up in an oil truck and delivering oil to some poor old whitehaired woman whoe reminds us of our grannies. She even says stuff like "God bless Joe Kennedy"...
This years campaign is even more egregious, as he's pimping for Chavez and 40% off oil from Venezuela. They show a smiling joe kennedy atop an oil rig in Maracaibo Venezuela. These are clearly campaign commericals for a candidate running for an unspecified office. Wonder what the FEC opines on the subject?

#123 Ojoe

It definitely is unseemly. It's even nauseating. But, would people's knickers be in such a twist if these representatives were Republicans? Even among the GOP, there are opinions different than those of Pres. Bush.

"Hey senator Carry, make sure you get their names and units right this time around for your next winter soldier investigation, unlike your buddy Sean Newton."

Weren't most of the "Vietnam" veterans involved in that abortion lacking Vietnam service on their DD-214s?

Not only lacking "Vietnam" Service, lacking any military service at all. Most were just students.
One example is Sean Newton who claims he did two separate tours in Nam, Feb '66 to Dec '66 with 3rd Battalion, 7thMarines. Second tour with Delta Company, 1st Battalion 26th Marines (D 1/26) and with 3rd Combined Action Group from Aug '67 to Aug '68. I served in Delta 1/26 about the same time frame and never heard of a Sean Newton, neither have all the others that served then.
I have all the company rosters and diaries from the time that the company arrived in Nam in 1966, until it left in 1970, no Sean Newton anywhere.

A rat in the wood pile as they say.

I can not stand his face.

Neither can I but he was born with it.

Then again habitual happiness and honesty might just change the sourness he seems to have layered over what God gave him.

I'm being mean, I should stop.

Kerry said he was "willing" to go to Iran for talks but had no current plans to do so.

If I were still active-duty and in Iraq, I wouldn't give that bastard the time of day, much less grace him with my presence.

Clinton landed at my base here in the States once, and the base wanted to get what we call a "rent-a-crowd" to go and see him. Very, very few volunteered, so the commander actually TOLD people they would go...more or less as an order, to do so. I, fortunately, was out the gate that day before that happened! He is another person I wouldn't piss on if he were on fire to put him out!

These two, among the vast majority of (D) idiots in Congress (and former Presidents), were and are the virulently anti-US military around and deserve nothing from me but my contempt.

...to Senator Kerry coming back and jack-slapping Senator Rangel about the quality of troops in the Armed Forces of the United States.

However...

...I'm not holding my breath on it happening.

P.S. I hope the troops gave him dirty hand-shakes.

What a dope!

RE: Hmmm...

Those vehicles in the background don't seem to me to be anything front-line combat troops use.

What unit was 'used' for this photo-op?

Regards,

Chuck(le)

P.S. I'd have been more 'impressed' if the Senator was photographed shaking the hands of troops on patrol in Fallujah.

Re: President IQ

I'm a little late to this thread, but those of you who got the leftist list of "presidential IQ's" showing how the only intelligent Republican was the "evil Richard Nixon," rest assured that the e-mail is a fraud, and has been de-hoaxed by Snopes.

I'm interested in your reference to Sean Newton, witness at the WSI. Could you elaborate?

Sorry I did not see your #129 before I posted.
I'm involved in THIS and you could possibly be of help. How can I contact you?

all of those guys look either noncommital or pissed.

i think the one shaking his hand is thinking that he'd rather be kicking his ass.

I can't paraphrase what all Senator Lindsay Graham was saying this morning on the news but it was all PC and wrong as in lacking truth.

I'm curious as to how you know this. Graham has just come back from Iraq. Do you have a more up-to-date report from someone who has been there recently, heard briefings from senior military people, and met w/ people in the Iraqi government? Serious question.

Kerry, Nelson, Duke, Carter. Forty American have died in Iraq since Baker-Hamilton. How many are these men responsible for?

I kind of doubt that Iraqi terrorists are paying attention to which of our senators are visiting the country, except to the extent that they might try to figure out whether there'd be an opportunity to kill them.

If the deaths of U.S. military personnel in the past couple of weeks is attributable to the presence of these senators, what accounts for the nearly 3000 deaths that have occurred in the previous three and a half years? The senators weren't there then.

I feel sorry for that poor trooper, having to be stuck in a staged photo op, shaking hands with a traitor that should be in prison instead of the Senate.

Also, I believe that the electorate has given up with no Republican base or excitement in the entire State.

The current governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, is a Republican. I believe the previous one was too, but, even if not, the next one back (Bill Weld) was. Although the voters seem to be fed up w/ Romney, Weld was, in fact, quite popular. He'd probably still be governor if he hadn't left that post to run against John Kerry--and lost in, I believe, a tight race.

President Bush, because he is a Republican, does not have the luxury of using the media provided bully-pulpit. The DNC media witholds that luxury and only gives it to fellow like-minded leftists. Bush isn't allowed to speak out. Even if Bush does speak out, the media twist, lie and contort every word he says beyond all recognition - in the media's unrelenting effort to discredit and damage our President.

President Bush is probably the only person in the country who can go on TV pretty much any time he wants and say whatever he wants. He has direct access to the American people. If he wants to give a speech, the White House simply calls the networks and asks for the time. The media may comment on what he says in ways you don't agree with, but his speeches are presented withouot interruption. Thus, the public has the opportunity to see him and hear what he has to say without any "filtering".

What Kerry is doing vilolates Article 2 section 2 of the US Constitution. It says the PRESIDENT shall have the power to make treaties and appoint ambassadors. It DOES NOT say that the President AND anyone else can do that.

Make treaties? Appoint ambassadors? Did Kerry do those things? Did he even say he was going to?

Remember?

Those guys are thinking, "I could take him down in a heartbeat. Asshole.".

#150 DANEgerus

Oh man, you read my mind. I was just thinking about that first picture, and the spoof captions that were written at the time. All I can remember is, "I'm gonna stick that finger up his ass and break it off".

Doc,
Sean Newton's name came to my attention several years ago at this web site, when I was doing web searches for former members of my unit (Delta 1/26). I had no idea who he was since his name didn't show up in any of our company rosters or other reports. I contacted other members of Delta 1/26 and no one knew or ever heard of him.

Fre Newton "Fig Newton" is the only Marine that was with Delta Co. and he sure has heck didn't get involved with the anti war crowd.

We contacted John O'Neill of the swift boats vets last presidential election about Newton, John O'Neill informed us that most of the clowns involved in that farce of an investigation were bogus vets and liars, like Kerry.

We also contacted the other Marine units Sean Newton claims he served with, same response, bogus.

Doc, you by chance a FMF Doc?

He was on the news this morning. He is definitely looking out for number one as the Dems take power.

Geees, where's my glasses, How did I miss your post, directly under the one I replied to. must have been a senior moment there for a sec.

Doc, I am aware of the "Bud" Day (Marine WWll MOH) and the VVLF I was not aware of the law suit against Kerry's associates, Most of the Khe Sanh Veterans know about the VVLF too, It has been mentioned many times at our web site.
I'm not sure what help I can offer the VVLF with the exception of the Newton lies.
Click my nic to send email.

JeffnKerry visited the chinless Dr Assad in DEc 04,right after the election also.

He looks like a secrets bag man.

Here's a jewel from a DUmmie on Lt. John F-troop Kerry's excursions abroad:

I don't understand the idea that you can't talk to someone.
You should be able to talk to anyone. It's the grown up thing to do. Then again, I'm not so sure about talking to Iran while Ahmedanajad is in power. He's a whole other level of evil.

That last sentence must have been typed on the exhale of bong smoke.

It's ridiculous of course but what is the big deal?

He's allowed to talk to who he likes, it is not against the constitution no matter how distasteful some might find his behaviour.

Calm down...

Kerry served his country in Vietnam.

And even if you believe the Swift Boat Shill Tales, that's a lot longer than Charles Johnson has served in any armed force.

So who's the "lazy slacker" now, Charles?

Hypocrite.
