"The picture I have that sticks in my mind is of [Mr. Kerry] sitting at that table in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee room with that long hair testifying about the atrocities committed" by U.S. soldiers, Phyllis Galanti said in an interview yesterday. "It was just such a slap to all of the military and their families."

Hmmmmm, well I guess he did kind of have some long hair, and we all know that makes a guy a bad person. The nerve of that guy to sit there with his long hair like that and tell the truth! Well I never! That's got to be the biggest slap the military ever had. Say, if these swifty's are so lock jawed when it comes to their "band of brothers", why are they saying such bad stuff against one of their own? I guess like the repos, swiftys are willing to eat their own if anyone steps out of line. Damn that long haired kerry, and damn his long hair too. He didn't sweep the atrocities under the rug, so he was damn sure a tratior bent on helping the other side win. Looks like it worked as the other side won. It is not heroric to hide atrocities to save face. What's really sad is that I am sure I am not the only one that can see what the swiftys are really doing, and it is going to hurt them in the long run.

"The independent group plans to spend $1.4 million airing the ad on cable television stations and in key swing states such as Nevada, New Mexico and Pennsylvania."

That's a lot of cash. I wonder where it comes from?

"Kerry betrayed his fellow soldiers in '71...and he's showing disturbing signs that he will do so again."

Who is betraying who here? If there were atrocities, and there was, then whoever did hide this, or take part in it, betrayed the US. Protecting US from the truth is not honerable or noble, it is lame and deceitfull. Now their pissed and want to use the fact that kerry would not keep silent with them as a weapon against him. Well I ain't buying it. As much as I don't like Kerry, I still ain't buying this load of pure BS the swifty's are trying to lay on US.

"America,does not need 'permission' from anyone--to act in self-defense !!"

Well you got that right. Self defence seems to mean different things to different people though. Your idea of self defence seems to be to attack first, so that they cannot attack US in the future.
