They are better suited there. jdn Boy, that's wishing bad stuff on the frenchies. The news today came out today with a litany of ailments our boy has including prostate cancer, etc. Kept this all secret from the people. His spokesman commented on how Kerry threw a football while waiting around. Shades of emulating JF Kennedy. What a joke this guy is. Saw a rerun of a 1971 Dick Cavett show, last eve, wherein Kerry debated a fellow Naval Lt. John O'Neill, on ending the Viet war. O'Neill's idea was 'peace with honor', and return of all our MIA's and prisoners. Kerry wanted to tell the North Vietnamese a date for our pullout, which was one of the demands the North made at the peace table, with no provision for return of our prisoners. He stated that could be taken care of after the peace. HUH!! O'Neill tried to pin Kerry down on the accusations of rape and murder, but Kerry was, even then, his evasive self. Lt. O'Neill was a sharp, imposing 25 yr. old, gentleman, receiving applause from the audience, but Kerry, for the times, was also convincing, also receiving audience applause. Under their names it stated their length of time in Nam. Kerry's showed 68/69, as though he had been there 2 years, not 4 months. Lt. O'Neil's indicated 68/71, or possibly 3 years in country. Kerry had the Dominque Villepin hairdo, even then, but O'Neill generally outclassed him, but then I may be, am, prejudiced. I wonder what ever happened to Lt. O'Neill? I'm sure if he is watching the Kerry of today he is he feels vindicated in his stance of 1971. KM
