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. |

Secondly, it's a riotously funny website - the first chunk demonstrates Kerry's excellent service record, then calls him a traitor for exercising his constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech. LOL The site is a military subject. If you have a problem understanding the words, recreation, aviation and military, I suggest you seek a dictionary. I suggest you understand the word aviation, which you so kindly quoted above. Kerry was a small boat commander. Duh! Peter Kemp |

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. |

Sorry amigo, but you're just gonna have to get used to the GOP controlling the White House for (at least!) another four years! |

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".
