I am not even going to link to all my posts I've put up in the last year and half that state my opinion of Senator "Coward" Kerry. I think I've made my position quite clear. Instead, I hope that you will all go read the following post Kerry - Still A Fool. It says it all and it says it so much better than I could every hope to do.
Similar to John Kerry, I was a also in the Navy and a Viet Nam vet. After the war became hugely unpopular in the US, the administration tried various tactics to get out without a victory and finally settled on a "cut-and-run" approach which left the South Viet Namese defenseless and at the hands of the North. When the end for South Viet Nam came, I was a civilian employee of a company home based in California that had a contract with the US Air Force to repair Huey (UH-1) helicopters in Viet Nam and to teach South Viet Namese Air Force personnel how to take over the repair functions. I worked over there, living in Saigon and working at the Bien Hoa Air Force Base, from the Summer of 1973 (after US troops had been pulled out) until the country was overrun by North Viet Namese approximately a year and a half later.
There were two things that ushered in the end of the South. One was the removal of US forces without the South having the ability to defend itself from the North (who was still backed by China). The second was the congress of the US cutting the South Viet Nam financial aid in half without warning. [PLEASE READ IT ALL HERE]
To listen to John Kerry or Jack Murtha would be a total disaster. Thank God for a President who understands this and has no intention of caving.

This week at the Take Back America conference, John Kerry took another "New Direction":
U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts on Tuesday told an audience at the liberal Take Back America conference that he was sorry for voting to authorize the war in Iraq, calling the entire mission "a mistake. "
We were misled, we were given evidence that was not true," Kerry said. "It was wrong, and I was wrong to vote [for it].
Likewise democrats in the House of Representatives rallied around John Murtha when he proposed to cut and run from Iraq with (Speaker) Nancy Pelosi leading the charge:
We should follow the lead of Congressman John Murtha, who has put forth a plan to make American safer, to make our military stronger and to make Iraq more stable," Pelosi said. "That is what the American people and our troops deserve."
