Never send-NEVER find, Military distrust of Kerry JUSTIFIED EDWARDS a LIAR like Long Nose Kerry We’re staying out of the Politics - However, we can not let incorrect statements on one candidate or the others actions on the POW/MIA issue go unchallenged. Vice Presidential candidate John Edward said, of John Kerry during the recent Vice Presidential debate, "went with John McCain to Vietnam to find out what happened to our POWs." Edwards forgot to mention that John Kerry abdicated his responsibilities as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs, in order to push his agenda for trade and diplomatic relations with Vietnam.. Kerry did nothing to find out what happened to our POWs and MIAs and allowed the Vietnamese to present false information on POW/MIA and left that information unchallenged in order to close at least one case. No one should be allowed to forget the conclusions fo the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs: "Nixon, Ford and Carter Administration officials all dismissed the possibility that American POWs had survived in Southeast Asia after Operation Homecoming. This Committee has uncovered evidence that precludes it from taking the same view. We acknowledge that there is no proof that U.S. POWs survived, but neither is there proof that all of those who did not return had died. There is evidence, moreover, that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number, after Operation Homecoming.” If you read the September 11th Bits and Pieces you know that “small number” may be as large as 185. Instead Kerry devoted his efforts to opening both trade and diplomatic relations with Vietnam. With regard to Korean War POW/MIA's the committee concluded " the Committee has reviewed information and heard testimony which we believe constitutes strong evidence that some unaccounted for American POWs from the Korean Conflict were transferred to the former Soviet Union in the early 1950's.... The Committee further believes it is possible that one or more POWs from the Korean Conflict could still be alive on the territory of the former Soviet Union." In the years since the committee published its conclusions..... What has John Kerry done to find out what happened to that "small number" left in Southeast Asia or the men left behind at the end of the Korean War? What has John Kerry done to get these answers? The answer is simple.........Nothing For more on John Kerry and the POW/MIA issue visit www.powmiafamiliesagainstjohnkerry.com In the interest of fairness should anyone find a site POW/MIA Families for John Kerry, we’d be happy to share that site with you also.
