     Bull SHIT.

John Kerry admitted that he is a war criminal.

     You'll never cease parroting this Cheney lie, will you.

     Kerry did not admit to doing ANY of the heinous crimes he claimed
occurred, like torture, rape, etc.  What he did do was characterize
ROUTINE Army procedures like torching villages as being criminal.
That does not make him "an admitted war criminal."  This is the same

[snip spin]

YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, IDOT.

    Nice idiotic turnaround.  It is Cheney and Enright who are trying
to have it both ways.

Kerry referred to acts that he committed as criminal.  He therefore
referred to himself as a criminal.  All the logical dancing and spinning
you can muster does not change that basic fact.  

If young Lieutenant Kerry *really believed* that things which were
routine were WAR CRIMES, then he should have refused to take part.  

His training and his oath both obligated him to do these things, yet he
did not.

    What utter bullshit.  Sure, that's easy to say for something like
rape (which Kerry did not participate in), but torching of villages
was so routine that refusing to follow orders on that would have been
tantamount to refusing to follow legitimate orders in the field, a
very serious offense.

     You act like disobeying routine army procedures is like a walk
in the park, like any soldier should be expected to do it at the drop
of a hat, according to his personal convictions.  You're full of
shit.  Like I said, sure, for something obviously wrong like rape or
cutting off ears, but everyone was torching villages.

 It was not until he tried to make a name for himself that the
severity of these things increased in the mind of John Kerry that they
were required to be labelled as crimes.  Well, well, isn't that
convenient?

     He spoke up immediately he returned from Vietnam.  You'd have a
point if he'd waited a couple of years.

"I was just following orders" and "Everyone was doing it" sure were
effective defenses for Lt. William Calley, weren't they?

Another idot who cannut read. I didn't say it was a defense.
Kerry himself didn't say it was a defense. Try again.
