Watching Movies With Senator Kerry
By BILL KELLER
The New York Times

The following is an excerpt from Mr. Keller's article:

"The other question is"……"acutely relevant at the moment,
as the nation edges toward war under the command of a
president who spent his war years at home in the National Guard
and a vice president who has famously said he "had other priorities"
during Vietnam.
The question is, what value should we place on combat
experience in our leaders?
Mr. Kerry argues that his months in Vietnam
gave him "insights," though from our conversation what
it seems to have given him above all is a deep distrust of official pretexts for war, and a
reverence for popular consent.

TP, did you know Cheney made that statement about VietNam? I didn't. I do know that Cheney was
busy making money for himself at Halliburton and that is one reason why I do not believek Bush and his
corporate cabinet are qualified to lead this country. Their only motive in life has been to make money and
to hand out favors to their corporate contributors. JMOP
