John Kerry attacking Vice President Cheney for allegedly lying
about pre-war intelligence is about as credible as Ted Kennedy
lecturing anyone on drunk driving or the proper way to treat young
waitresses.
The Junior Senator from Massachussets launched his political
career by slandering the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines
fighting in Vietnam. When pushed about his testimony before
Congress, he has admitted that he didn't really witness any
atrocities (as he testified under oath), but heard about such
misconduct from other service members who heard about them from
others, and so on and so on and so on. We know that the
overwhelming majority of troops fighting in Vietnam were the best
of their generation -- something that cannot be said of Kerry, even
taking into account his military service.
To charge the President and Vice President with lying about
intelligence in order to manipulate the Congress and public support
to remove Saddam Hussein by force is as immoral as falsely charging
one's brothers in arms with war crimes.
If the Democrats are charging that the President and Vice
President lied, then they should, in good conscience, bring
Articles of Impeachment in the House.
But they know that they are the ones who are misleading the
public. They are so desperate to regain political power that they
would seek America's defeat in Iraq in order to defeat this
administration and the Republican majority in Congress.
Again, is it any wonder that the overwhelming majority of the
members our armed forces do not vote Democrat?
