24. Kerry's words.
Edited on Fri Sep-12-03 10:05 PM by God_bush_n_cheney
"almost eliminate CIA activity"
Eliminate it and replace it with what? Homeland security?

"I just came back really concerned about it and upset about it and angry about it,"

But it's ok now to send people to their deaths

"I just said to the admiral: `I've got to get out. I've got to go do what I came back here to do, which is, end this thing,'"

So I can move on to my PNAC future

Kerry chose a telling location: the Pershing family's Jamaica home. Richard Pershing, a close friend of Kerry's and a fellow member of Yale's Skull and Bones society, had been killed in Vietnam.

Them bones boys stick together don't they.

"How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam?" Kerry asked. How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?
"

I don't know John. But let me ask you this...How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Iraq? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?


"Do you want to be president of the United States?" Safer asked Kerry.

"No," Kerry replied. "That's such a crazy question when there are so many things to be done and I don't know whether I could do them."

So he is running for President because......

"However, I did take part in free-fire zones, I did take part in harassment and interdiction fire, I did take part in search-and-destroy missions in which the houses of noncombatants were burned to the ground. And all of these acts, I find out later on, are contrary to the Hague and Geneva conventions and to the laws of warfare. So in that sense, anybody who took part in those, if you carry out the application of the Nuremberg Principles, is in fact guilty. But we are not trying to find war criminals. That is not our purpose. It never has been."

Bush will never stand trial for his war crimes. Not when frat brothers cover each others ass. Oh and John...ignorance of the law is no excuse.


O'Neill: "The war didn't change . I think he was a guy driven tremendously by ambition. I think he was that way before he went and is that way today."

My thoughts exactly
