-Caveat Lector- Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: ....a benefit/subsidy protection racket! -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Billingsley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 21, 1999 5:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [conservative] Our President From: "Daniel Billingsley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WHERE WERE YOU, BILL? This week, SecDef William Cohen delivered a message to Bill Clinton from the chiefs across the river at the Pentagon. It seems they are pressing Mr. Clinton to stop "cutting bait," and deploy ground troops to secure U.S. objectives, whatever they may be, in Kosovo. Because no "vital national interests" sufficient to place U.S. forces in harms way have been identified, and our intervention there amounts to little more than a monumental strategic blunder, we must find an exit strategy that does not further diminish our degraded standing as the world's remaining superpower. We would hope that means blinking hard while the Russians devise a suitable "peace plan." But, if Mr. Clinton's exposed-hand promise that he will not send U.S. troops to Kosovo is as good as his oath of office, many of our uniformed colleagues will be saying farewell to their wives and children -- some for the last time. As Mr. Clinton ponders whether or not to commit ground forces and impose "peace" amid the cluster-dumb he helped create, all of America should ponder these questions from Vietnam vets and their families. We have selected a few from a long list provided by Col. David Hackworth, America's most highly decorated living veteran. "Bill, where were you when my best friend triggered a landmine and died in my arms...? Where were you when we arrived back on American soil, only to be cursed and have rotten eggs thrown at us?ö --Gordon "Where were you, Mr. Clinton, in September of 1968, when my company raced an enemy battalion to the top of a hill, sustaining 55 casualties (11 KIA, 44 wounded) along the way? But that's history! The real question is what are you doing NOW to ensure the strength of our military and proper treatment of our veterans of all conflicts. I pray that we never have to endure another Vietnam. I pray for you, sir, and may God grant you knowledge of His will as you make decisions affecting the lives of so many." --AJ "Where were you back when it really counted, Clinton? How about Da Nang, Namo, Chu Lai, Tam Ky, Hiep Duc, Marble Mountain, Mon Khe, Khe Lon Sohn, Phu Bai, Hue, Qung Tri, Dong Ha, Cam Lo, Con Thien, Khe Sahn, Au Shau valley, Laos and the DMZ? Well, as hard as it may be to believe, I was there. As well as all points between. .... I have always been and am now a patriot who believes in our Constitution, Bill of Rights and my country. What about you?" --Robert "Where were you, Bill Clinton, when I was trying to give the 'Nam veterans the respect we Korean War veterans were given? Where were you in your golden youth, Bill Clinton, when your youthful fellow socialist-junkie liberals partied, protested, and sought relevance in the streets, gutters, and legislatures of this great country? .... Where were you when tens of thousands of differently committed youngsters became men and women through the fire and fury of combat, tens of thousands of whom became one with the earth, their bleeding a sacred act of selflessness... Those youngsters gave up their youth while you enjoyed yours." --Charles "Where were you when Ellis E. Austin was shot down over North Vietnam, 21 April 1966, two weeks before he was to retire? This three-war veteran didn't have to serve in Vietnam but he did because he felt it was his duty. He left behind three children and a wife." --Kelly Jo "I know where you were, Bill! You were writing letters to tell how you hated the military. You were overseas telling Europeans how you disliked America. ... You were carousing with known Communists. ... In spite of the fact that you have tried your best to staff the government with the biggest assortment of socialists, misfits, incompetents, idiots, perverts, thieves, and liars, I don't think you will succeed. I firmly believe your second term is only due to an inability of the American people to believe that someone who aspired to be President of the United States could be so shallow and unprincipled as you." --Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Give back to your community through "Grow to Give." http://www.ONElist.com See homepage for details.
