John Kerry�s Past Reflects Current "Anything To Win" Strategy By Sher Zieve Sept. 27, 2004
The current presidential election cycle has been one of the most bizarre in recent history. Apart from the really vicious and misleading rhetoric employed during this campaign season, the Democrats have presented us with one of the most improbable and illogical candidates ever to seek the Presidency of the United States. During his 20 year Senate career, John Kerry has maintained the dubious title of �Most Liberal Senator�; more left-leaning than even Sen. Ted Kennedy. However, this label is minor compared to Mr. Kerry�s other characteristics. John Kerry may be the first truly anti-American candidate to affect a run for the presidency. Mr. Kerry has, also, displayed an almost pathological proclivity towards needing to be on every side of every issue. This projects continuing examples of poor judgment and lack of consistency that I find extremely disconcerting; especially for one who would seek the Presidency of the United States. One of the peculiar aspects of the Kerry campaign was and is his insistence to run on his four-month Viet Nam tour of duty. Apart from being one of (if not �the�) most unpopular wars the in the history of the US, the Viet Nam experience dredges up all manner of negative feelings for those who remember or have studied it in depth. But, for some inexplicable reason Mr. Kerry chose his service there as his platform�s foundation. Therefore, anything he said or says about it is fair game. The Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, who maintain a very different picture and analysis of Kerry�s time in Viet Nam, have published and presented a definitive book about Kerry-�Unfit For Command�. Although multiple reasons are given in the book for not electing John Kerry to any position of power (let alone the most powerful position on the planet), I found Chapter 7- �Meeting With the Enemy� indicative of the Kerry message. Kerry�s anti-war and anti-American escapades, during the 1970s are widely known. However, not so widely known or reported are his adventures with the Communist enemy. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking KGB officer to defect to the west said in June 2004 that the disinformation Kerry spewed to the 1971 Fulbright Committee �for free� was the same information it had cost the KGB $50MM a year to fund the Communist front group �World Peace Organization�. Kerry was doing the communists� job very well. Kerry�s anti-American activities had more to do with the [then] climate of the US and his political ambitions than it with his beliefs. He follows this same �strategy� today. In 1970, while the Viet Nam war was still being waged by the US, Kerry went to Paris; ostensibly to honeymoon with his first wife-the former Julia Thorne. The Kerry campaign finally acknowledged that, while there, Kerry met with and �talked privately with a leading Communist representative�. In June 1971, Lo Duc Tho (one of the original founders of the Indochina Communist Party and a North Vietnamese chief strategist) arrived in Paris and met with one of his comrades-Madame Nguyen Thi Binh (then Foreign Minister to the Provisional Revolutionary Government [PRG} of South Viet Nam). During this meeting, Madame Binh produced a seven-point plan to end the Viet Nam war. Central to her proposal was the release on American POWs only if the US would admit defeat and immediately set an exit date of its forces. During Kerry�s April 1971 testimony to the Fulbright Committee, he admitted to having met with the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam and the PRG. He also espoused, to the committee, some of the points contained in Madame Binh�s seven- point proposal, which she subsequently presented to Lo Duc Tho in July of that year. The evidence that Kerry had been part and parcel to Madame Binh�s plan was and is compelling. We do know, without equivocation, that he took an unauthorized meeting with the enemy (during time of war) in 1970. At best, Kerry�s behaviors are disturbing. This meeting, coupled with his [then] ongoing anti-American rhetoric and behavior did, indeed, �give aid and comfort to the enemy� and constituted a violation of his allegiance to the US. This is the definition of treachery. Fast forwarding to present day, Kerry�s current (it may not be his last-and-final) position on the Iraq war is to remove our troops from this theatre; to �get out� as quickly as possible. Apparently, Kerry is totally unable to extricate himself from the 30+-years-ago Viet Nam war and has now returned to his anti-American roots. However, the Iraq war has no correlation (other than the fact that we are at war) to Viet Nam. We are currently involved in a battle for the continued existence of the United States of America. On September 11, 2001, we were savagely attacked by Islamo-fascists. Does Mr. Kerry even remember the attack? Or, will he do and say anything to appease his anti-American base to try and win the presidency? Unfortunately, it�s both. The conflict in Iraq is neither a minor battle nor a major skirmish. Rather, it is a war waged for the continuation of civilization. While Kerry continues to offer his less-than-humorous comments (for example: �this is about Osama bin forgotten�) our troops are fighting and dying to keep our country safe and keep Kerry in his billionaire�s �lap of luxury�. John Kerry doesn�t seem to understand much about the world, or anything else for that matter. Mr. Kerry�s actions, words and deeds (over thirty years ago and today) have become increasingly unconscionable; to the point that even the US Communist Party and anarchists are supporting his presidential bid. Guess they know a kindred spirit when they see one. A vote for John Kerry is affected at one�s own peril and that of the country. With Kerry, there will be no more USA as we know it. ------------ About the author: About the author: Sher Zieve is a Conservative political commentator, appeared on the CBS program "Mysteries of the Millennium", has been included in "Who's Who in the West", "Who's Who in the US" and "Who's Who in Entertainment".
