![]() "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnkerry.com/ Well, it can be said of Kerry that at least he went and served his country. Like most other chickenhawks, W. found other places to be during Vietnam. He even went so far as to cash in his connections to get placed ahead of a long list to become a Guard pilot even though he scored the lowest score possible. His record as a member of the NG is now biting his chickenhawk ass: http://www.awolbush.com/ The fact that he came home from what he felt to be an immoral and evil war and tried to stop it using his Constitutional rights makes him a man of character, not a traitor. If you cannot understand that, then I feel sorry for you. Anyone who does not tow the party line is a traitor? Are you a communist or just a fascist? Please read the First 10 Amendments to the Constitution if you have any questions about it. I am not a democrat, and I have tended to vote republican in many elections, not this time though. He lied about why we went to war, lied about his military career, he lies practically every time he opens his mouth. Clinton was a rank amatuer compared to this guy: http://praesentia.us/archives/dishonestdubya.html |

Most excellent point. However, while we cannot attack Kerry on his military record or his anti-war protests that followed, we can attack his politcal record such as his waffling around with regards to the current unpleasantries in Southwest Asia. |

Current unpleasantries in Southwest Asia? What specifically are we talking about? George Z. |

Current unpleasantries in Southwest Asia? What specifically are we talking about? Excuse me. I was referring to the war on terrorism which is actually global but it's primarily being waged in both Southwest and Southeast Asia and of course, the Middle East. |

OK, but he voted against the war on terrorism, so where's the waffling? And before you say it, the war on terrorism is the war against OBL and the Taliban; in many people's eyes, it does NOT include the war on Iraq. That's a military adventure waged for still unexplained reasons, the war on terrorism not being one of them. George Z. |

We've got troops deployed around the world and the fight isn't just against OBL and the the Taliban. There's terrorist activity in the Philippines, in Somalia, in several countries in Africa, in S. America and many more places. Almost all of the hot spots have small detached units of US military deployed. And, I'd say characterizing Operation Iraqi Freedom as "waged for still unexplained reasons" is a gross over-simplification. There have been lots of reasons explained and they extend well beyond this canard of "no WMD".

America and many more places. Almost all of the hot spots have small detached units of US military deployed. I am perfectly aware that anti-western terrorist activity has existed in numerous places throughout the world. What I said was that many people did not feel that Iraq was one of those places where that kind of activity took place, or even, I might add, where training for it took place. And, I'd say characterizing Operation Iraqi Freedom as "waged for still unexplained reasons" is a gross over-simplification. There have been lots of reasons explained and they extend well beyond this canard of "no WMD". You're entitled to your opinion. There certainly have been lots of reasons advanced for launching this war and, as quickly as one proves to be untrue, another one is presented until it, too, proves to be untrue, followed by another one.....etc. You may be gullible enough to believe what you are told by the government, but after the second unsubstantiated reason, I no longer believe anything they have to say on the subject. Just between the two of us, I've already concluded to my own satisfaction that the real reasons we entered this war were (1) to complete the Gulf War, left undone by the President's father, (2) to topple Sadaam Hussein for his attempted assassination of the President's father, and (3) to secure de facto control over the sea of oil on which Iraq sits. Since none of these reasons would have sat well with the public if presented, alternative reasons had to be contrived. Unfortunately, each of those alternative reasons upon examination was shown to be quite obviously contrived . But, that's my take, and you're entitled to your own. However, I'd be willing to bet that with the perfect vision provided by hindsight, history will eventually accept one or all of my reasons as the true reason(s) for launching this war rather than those offered by our government.
