By now many have probably heard of "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth". Sadly many Americans are the type that believe anything they see on TV. Lots of things happen in wars. Kerry did what he had to do and what his country expected of him. He did not ask for these metals and I'm sure it's dishearting to listeen to ad's against him that are Lies and in other cases half of the truth.
Kerry attended a congressional hearing to speak about war crimes. Many of the views he expressed were on behalf of a meeting of Vietnam Vets prior to the hearing. Yet the SBVT claims that all of Kerry's testimony is his alone. 30 years is a long time and then this whole country was flying in several directions. Yet if anything can be believed from the many movies and documentaries since then what Kerry described did happen. Why would he make it up. Any number of movies portray what happened in Vietnam and many Americans are not proud of what happened.
A black mark on America.
What about all the other black marks that this country are faced with fighting a war where George Bush and his cohorts fed us lies to get marginal support to go fight Iraq only to find that Saddam got rid of his weapons of mass destruction. I'm sure Saddam is still laughing at the though of Bush trying to figure out what he did with them. Yet were still in Iraq fighting Al Quaeda now that Saddam who did not like them in the first place kept out of the country. Now we face the possibility of a short lived Democracy replaced by a Theocracy similar to what Iran is ran by now.
Not only that but the rest of the world now thinks less of us as a whole. Americans who were gladly called the world police ready to help anyone out is now the pirates of the world. Also would Mr Bush care to explain Oil and soon Gas prices that are about to soar through the roof? 50 Dollars a barrel is expected by Monday and our vacation from the 2 Dollar a gallon gas prices in late Spring will soon give away to 2.50 or higher in some places. My tax break amounted to nearly 14 dollars a month in my pocket. Yet I'm paying nearly 60 dollars extra a month in gas prices. George Bush could care less. If he and his partner lose this election they'll be board members of Haliburton and other oil companies they were involved with from the start. Sure they had to divest those interests prior to being able to run for office but they can easily reaquire those resources and be instant billionaires days after Kerry would be sworn in.
All the while laughing at how they got over in Florida, how they fooled congress and the house in supporting the War long enough to get us engaged, how they snubbed the middleclass and poor with their tax breaks that only helped the wealthy, and worse how they robbed 6 million Americans of their overtime pay to give it to others instead of just forcing rich companies to pay overtime to other groups of workers.
I know who I'm voting for in November and I'll be happy to see the door hit Bush in the butt when he leaves the Whitehouse.
