Heh. You *really* don't like Kerry, do you?
Here's a bit more irony: Ted Kennedy was questioning Gonzalez yesterday about water torture! Ted Kennedy...water torture. How's that for sensitivity? (Balloon Juice has an amusing post.)
If people were willing to move to Canada because W was re-elected, I wonder how many moved from Massachusettes because they were stuck with Kerry in the Senate?

Hey Greyhawk, when you have time, could you give us more info and the soldiers reaction when Kerry was there? (I want to hear that all cheering was forced!)
Thanks for what you are doing for all of us. Stay safe.

This just makes me sad... The guy still doesn't have a clue. What was the point of the visit other than to be out of town during the electoral certification?

But Greyhawk, that article about Kerry visiting Iraq was printed in the "MSM"!!!!
Can you believe anything printed by the MSM? Do they ever tell the truth, or keep a promise?
I don't believe the MSM, I only believe in Blogs!!!

At Little Green Footballs (blog), there is a picture of JFnK sitting with a Syrian Baath member/leader (?). Why is he there? I'm speechless, yeah, speechless and sickened.

I think it was brave of Kerry to mingle with armed troops. When I was stationed in Coronado our CO was forced to assign a number of us for a photo op with Clinton on the beach--no one wanted to allow Clinton to us us. Clinton was disliked, but not as much as Kerry is. We were not armed, but the soldiers in Iraq were. How any of our soldiers could have cheered for that jack-ass I'll never know!

Does anyone know if this is an Official Fact Finding Mission that is sanctioned by the State Department? If not there is a law against members of Congress meeting with foreign Govts. without the express permission of the Sec. of State at the behest of the Executive Branch.

Doc, it's the Logan Act, and maybe he violated it. Probably not; he probably had more than enough permission to go over there. How convenient for him, to be out of town during the Boxer rebellion. And to be over there with the troops? Who's going over there next, Hitlery Rotten? This is pre-campaigning for '08. I can see the ticket now: Clinton/Kerry. This is gonna be rich...

Funny during the election nobody asked Kerry about his meetings with North Vietnam leadership during the war. He then brought back their talking points and used it against our troops in the field and those who had already served. I guess the more things change the more they stay the same with this dirtbag. Anybody who voted for him and claims they "support the troops" is beyond stupid or FOS. When I saw what he said to the guys in Iraq and then met with the heads of Syria which is similar to Laos, Cambodia, and China of this war I was shocked even knowing Kerry's shameful past from Vietnam. What a POS.

Kerry, back where he belongs: undermining the troops and sucking up to dictators.

Spitball should be censured by the Senate for his actions. We're all paying this scumbag's salary, and he ain't done anything for 20 years...

Re the above: "Some cheering was heard from several of the few thousand troops who voted Kerry over here, but they were drowned out by cheering of the 'insurgents.' "
Greyhawk, did you observe this personally?
If not, what is the source of this info? It's not in the SF Chronicle article. Although the article IMPLIES it, it doesn't actually state that the cheering soldiers were in the same place or time as Kerry's anti-war & military denigrations. They could have graciously cheered his arrival at the airport; then he could have made his statements privately to journalists elsehwere and later.
See my speculation at the wizbangblog.com thread that the alleged military "cheers for Kerry" may be fictitious (created by the title and 2nd paragraph of the SF Chronicle's article), just like the 9/3/04 AP fabricated report of Bush audience "boos" about Clinton's illness.
I have too much respect for our Armed Forces, to not question the MSM first whether such cheering occurred at all.

I could have sworn the purpose of Kerry's visit to Camp Victory was to inform the troups that liberals have thrown their full support behind.....the insurgents!
Heys its possible....after all I just found out that Michael MooreON 's mockumentary Farenshit 9.11 won a People's Choice award!!
Heaven Help Us All! On the plus side...I can only hope that THIS is the ONLY award MooreOn's Mockumentary is ever nominated for, let alone wins.

remember the the child's story of the king with no clothes. i don't remember much except that the king waltz down the street naked cuz' he thought the tailor had made his cloths out of a special weave. everyone along the way acted as if he was clothed. that's our own john kerry.

Kerry knew better than to visit the Marines. Marines would have told him that Chesty Puller wouldn't have approved of talking in a negative way while the troops are in harms way.
"Wer're surrounded! they can't get away this time"--Chesty Puller, 1950 '

People moving out of Mass??
The state is the only one to lose population in the last census!!
Just about 4000 gone, about the size of a country town.
(The POLS claim tech job losses and the high cost of living)

Hell Greyhawk, don't stifle yourself man tell us how you really feel! ;-)
Seriously though, I surf Milblogs when I need a pick-me-up after reading too much bullshit from the MSM and I gotta tell ya, you've got a good'un.
Sorry about letting that P.O.S out of the country. He must'a slipped out when nobody was watching. (He's a sneaky bastard ya know).
We'll get him corralled back to Mass just as soon as we can and we promise to keep him away from the MEN and WOMEN over there from now on!
Keep up the good work and thanks!
