John Kerry meets with veterans in St. Louis. |
From MSNBC, 5/1/04:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4879709/
ST. LOUIS -
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a decorated Navy
lieutenant who later protested the Vietnam War, urged veterans on
Saturday to "get out there marching again" for better benefits.
On the anniversary of President Bush’s declaring an end to combat
operations in Iraq, Kerry held a sometimes emotional breakfast meeting
with about a dozen veterans at a the South City Diner in St. Louis.
"We haven’t even finished Afghanistan and we’re fighting a war --
‘Mission Accomplished’?" asked Fields Black, a 33-year-old former
Marine who won a combat ribbon in the 1991 Gulf War.
He was referring to Bush’s flight-suited May 1 landing on the aircraft
carrier Abraham Lincoln off the coast of California, where he declared
major combat operations over beneath a banner that read "Mission
Accomplished."
Rising U.S. toll in Iraq
But chaos and the U.S. death toll in Iraq have surged.
Six months before the Nov. 2 presidential election, polls show the
issue is almost as important to voters now as the economy.
April has been the bloodiest month for American forces in Iraq, with
at least 136 U.S. troops killed.
Nearly 740 American soldiers have died in the war, according to
Pentagon figures.
Black, who requires an oxygen tank to breathe, said he had contracted
emphysema and other respiratory problems during the first Gulf War,
probably from inhaling oil fumes.
Tears welling, he told Kerry that eight months ago, doctors predicted
he would die without a course of treatment he could not afford.
"You land on the aircraft carrier strutting your stuff and I have a
hard time walking?" Black said.
"How dare you? That’s how I look at the president, how dare you. Why
didn’t you land a plane in Vietnam? Where were you then? Just how dare
you. It amazes me how he does it with a smile too."
Kerry listened, then got up, embraced Black and quietly promised to
try to help.
Ongoing debate
The presidential election campaign turned into a spat this week over
Kerry’s stint as a Swift boat commander in Vietnam and whether he did
or did not discard his three Purple Hearts, Bronze Star and Silver
Star during a subsequent antiwar protest in Washington.
Kerry dismissed the issue, saying Republicans were simply trying to
change the subject because they had no record to run on.
"Americans aren’t listening to all that junk," he told the men and
women who chatted with him over pancakes and maple syrup.
They served in Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf War or the current
conflict in Iraq.
But many of them raised questions about both Bush, who served in the
Texas Air National Guard and did not go to Vietnam, and Vice President
***** Cheney, who received five draft deferments.
The veterans argued that the Bush administration had neglected them
and their issues.
"We really need to get back out there marching again," Kerry said.
"We fought for these things when we came back 35 years ago, and we’re
going to fight for them again."

Bill you are one low life scumbag. Kerry comments were made by a young man
recently home from harms way. You rabid right wing assholes would not know the
grief of actually serving in the military.
Now he will doubtlessly claim that he was just following orders-- or
perhaps he wasn't even there.

Do you honestly think that these war crime atrocities didn't happen?
Kerry and his fellow Vietnam buddies _do_ need to be tried and
convicted for their part in the United State's war crime atrocities
around the world, no doubt about it.
And Bush needs to be tried and convicted for his.

I'm sure that some did. Since Kerry is so intimately familiar with them,
we really do have to ask what his role was. As an officer, it was his
duty to prevent lower-ranking personnel from violating the Hague and
Geneva Conventions.

But as Kerry and his friends keep saying, Bush really WASN'T there!
Unless there was a village full of Vietnamese women and children in
Texas whom he strafed from his F-102.

Bill you are an idiot. Kerry was on a patrol boat. He was not going from
village to village but he was going up and down a river. The stories in your
threat were different than those that would have been done by a patrol boat.
we really do have to ask what his role was.
None. Idiot.
As an officer, it was his
duty to prevent lower-ranking personnel from violating the Hague and
Geneva Conventions.
True and it is ***** that he was in the villages. He was just flapping his
lips in 1971.

And Bush needs to be tried and convicted for his.
But as Kerry and his friends keep saying, Bush really WASN'T there!
So Bill, why do you give mr bush a free pass on being grounded for 5 years?
Why was he allowed to serve combat units and not be qualified?
Who was giving him a free ride?
Unless there was a village full of Vietnamese women and children in
Texas whom he strafed from his F-102.

You *****. Bush never flow the F102. He was immediately grounded after
school. Why do you make a joke when it is very serious why he was left to be
unqualified for 5 years.

Well Bill are you the same person as 30 years ago? Most people change with
age.
YOu never apparently want to address why George W. Bush was allowed to keep an
unqualified flight status for 5 years and no one did anything. What would
Alabama do with a pilot who was not allowed to fly? Why would the accept an
unqualified pilot?

have done while in elected office.

Enough to show that he had nothing to hide. I told you a while ago why I felt
he did not want to release them and yes the idiot right started playing games.
Why are republicans so stupid? Do you really think that some of the crap now
being post that he is a "war criminal" matters. Hell bush is the commander in
chief and we have POW being abused.
Should Bush be charged as a war criminal?

Golly, just like Bush and his fellow fascists; the baby killers
that pulled out of Afghanistan and diverted 700 million dollars
in the fight against Osama and used the money to invade Iraq so he
could wontonly slaughter innocent kids in their beds.

"...we..." Bush and his fellow fascists, however, have.
#1 The fascist regime invaded a soverign country and started
slaughtering its people without provocation. War crimes.
#2 The fascist regime is using depleted uranium munitions,
banned by multiple Accords and Acts of which the United States
is signatory. War crimes.
#3 The fascist regime is using cluster munitions against children
in their beds. War crimes according to a number of United Nations
Acts and Accords. War crimes.
That's the just start. The fascists are also responsible for the
photographed war crimes but they're nearly insignificant to the
hundreds of thousands the fascists have murdered -- half of them
children under the age of 16 -- through their use of DU munitions.

Do you honestly think that these war crime atrocities didn't happen?
I'm sure that some did. Since Kerry is so intimately familiar with
them, we really do have to ask what his role was. As an officer, it
was his duty to prevent lower-ranking personnel from violating the
Hague and Geneva Conventions.
I'm sure that _more_ did than President Kerry (get used to saying it)
has previously alluded to. And yes, he needs to describe everything
he remembers so that he and his fellow war criminals can be tried for
their crimes.
Kerry and his fellow Vietnam buddies _do_ need to be tried and
convicted for their part in the United State's war crime atrocities
around the world, no doubt about it.
And Bush needs to be tried and convicted for his.
But as Kerry and his friends keep saying, Bush really WASN'T there!
Bush's war crime atrocities in Afghanistan and Iraq, you fucking moron.
Except for the allegations about treatment of Iraqi POWs, we have not
committed war crimes in either country.
Now you just sound silly.

So did just about every soldier in Vietnam. We used 'nails' rockets on
personel that were supposed to be used for equipment. We used 'Willy

weapons and were occupied by farmers. We were not briefed or educated in
what was permitted or not permitted. All I remember is a single program
text on the Geneva Convention and most of that had to do with prisoner
status.
Geneva Convention - about the use of Incendary devices like WP
Article 2
Protection of civilians and civilian objects
1.It is prohibited in all circumstances to make the civilian population
as such, individual
civilians or civilian objects the object of attack by incendiary weapons.
2. It is prohibited in all circumstances to make any military objective
located within a concentration
of civilians the object of attack by air-delivered incendiary weapons.
3. It is further prohibited to make any military objective located within
a concentration of
About Agent Orange - from Geneva Convention - damage to natural
environment. Wonder how many Vietnamese civilians are getting cancer from
this stuff
The High Contracting Parties,
Recalling that every State has the duty, in conformity with the Charter
of the United Nations,
to refrain in its international relations from the threat or use of force
against the sovereignty,
territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any
other manner inconsistent

Further recalling the general principle of the protection of the civilian

the parties to an
armed conflict to choose methods or means of warfare is not unlimited,
and on the principle

suffering,
Also recalling that it is prohibited to employ methods or means of
warfare which are intended,
or may be expected, to cause widespread, long-term and severe damage to
the natural
environment.
Anyway, Billy the war was wrong, the war killed 50,000 young Americans,
the war (along with Watergate) ruined the trust that the American people
held in their Government for all time. The war was fought by young
Americans and stopped by Young Americans. Bush and Cheney participated in
neither the fighting of the war or the protesting of the war. They
deserve no respect and some condemnation for their inaction.
John Kerry on the other hand deserves respect for his service as a

deaths of young Americans for a bankrupt cause. The best decision I made
was to stay in the military after Vietnam. It helped ease the pain being

whole life trying to get some form of closure from your foolish views on
the war and the folks that protested it. The fact is that the war is over
and that is a very good thing. It eneded not because our government chose
to end it. It ended because the American people ended it. Americans like
Kerry.
I respect his valor in Vietnam and I respect his service to all in
uniform and all the future draftees by helping to end it through the use
of peaceful protest.

Yes, I have to respect the honorable part of his service and his
decorations. This does not make the other things he did right.
and as a protestor that helped stop the senseless
deaths of young Americans for a bankrupt cause.
A very strong case could be made that he and others like him prolonged
the war and got more Americans killed by encouraging the enemy. General
Giap was very demoralized after the disastrous (for him) Tet Offensive
and he was about ready to fold. Then he saw the American "peace"
movement and he realized that he didn't have to win on the battlefield.

A patriot might have told Lyndon Johnson to defecate or get off the
commode, i.e. fight the war to win or don't fight it at all. I could
envision General Patton, had he been alive, throwing his four stars on
Johnson's desk, walking out, and then calling Johnson a traitor across
the country for not letting the Army fight to win. (This would be
illegal until he resigned, as an active officer cannot criticize the
President.) He wouldn't have encouraged the enemy or defamed his fellow
veterans as war criminals.

Kerry was an officer and one would expect him to know the Hague and
Geneva Conventions.
*****. YOu keep pecking and pecking to make a case but it is not happening.
The office level during the vietnam was was dismal. They received almost no
speical education and I doubt that the hague was mentioned by anyone .
You keep the usual rabid right wing attacks on the most silly concepts. They
worked in the past but that jink is over.
Yes, I have to respect the honorable part of his service and his
decorations. This does not make the other things he did right.
He did not do anything. Hey I am sorry that you cannot run on Bush's record.
You continued ***** is getting old.
YOu never address why Bush was allowed to spend 5 years in an unqualifed
stated. Noone would have been allowed to get away with that unless they were
protected.
The Alabama unit could not use a pilot who could not fly but they had to accept
Bush. They were probably happy that he never did show up.
A very strong case could be made that he and others like him prolonged
the war and got more Americans killed by encouraging the enemy. General
Giap was very demoralized after the disastrous (for him) Tet Offensive
and he was about ready to fold. Then he saw the American "peace"
movement and he realized that he didn't have to win on the battlefield.
The president of the United States was Nixon. why do you think some 21 year
old college student had an effect on Giap. Giap was only interested in Nixon.
Nixon bomb hanoi almost into the gound but stopped. If Nixon continued North
Vietnam would have stopped the war. It was Nixon and Kissinger who screwed up
the war. BTW Kissinger has become a billionaire from the profit he made
setting up business and trade with Red China.
A patriot might have told Lyndon Johnson to defecate or get off the
commode, i.e. fight the war to win or don't fight it at all. I could
envision General Patton, had he been alive, throwing his four stars on
Johnson's desk, walking out, and then calling Johnson a traitor
across
the country for not letting the Army fight to win. (This would be
illegal until he resigned, as an active officer cannot criticize the
President.) He wouldn't have encouraged the enemy or defamed his fellow
veterans as war criminals.

Bill you never stop amzing me. Patton address and entire army corp and ask to
be forgiven when Ike told him to do that or lose his command. I doubt very
serious that he would have done what your pea brain has listed.
BTW Bill Nixon was in office and caused most of the problems. Nixon took
office in 1969 and he saw by far the largest number of deaths on his comment
1969 and 1970 were by far the killed and wounded in Vietnam war. By 1970 Nixon
had decided to turn the war over to the Vietnamese who did most of the fighting
after 1971.
