John Kerry's War Atrocities
 

(Videotape, MEET THE PRESS, April 18, 1971):

MR. KERRY (Vietnam Veterans Against the War): There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free-fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals.

(End videotape)

MR. RUSSERT: You committed atrocities.

SEN. KERRY: Where did all that dark hair go, Tim? That's a big question for me.

Check out the entire transcript, amazing stuff

This is a funny issue, because the right wingers don't know what to do or say.

The same right wing idiots who want U.S. troops to rape and torture Iraqis are complaining because Kerry did what every other soldier in Vietnam did.

So, does the right wing hate all Vietnam vets?

Does the right wing support our troops or hate them?

Kerry is a decorated veteran, do they hate decorated veterans?

It's funny to watch the right squirm. :1orglaugh

It looks to me like Kerry is doing the squirming :1orglaugh

Kerry obeyed orders just like the soldiers in Iraq are doing. They're not the criminals, those who gave the orders are the criminals.

When you're looking at the world through Rush's hole, some things may be a little blurry. :1orglaugh

Coming from a guy whose eyes are glued shut from Al Franken's facial cum baths, I guess that's a compliment. :)

oh jesus

How very republican, bring up something from thirty years ago. But when they are asked to do so they go off the deep end. At least Kerry was there and wasn't AWOL.
