“They have personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscint of Genghis Kahn, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside….”
That’s how John Kerry described American troops in testimony before Congress after he returned from Vietnam, but it he could just as easily use the same words today to describe the Taliban, the cruel, vicious enemy with whom he now wants to negotiate.
The Hill has the story of Kerry’s hypocrisy:
Sen. John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Friday that there is a “very active” effort under way to reach a negotiated political settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Kerry (D-Mass.) acknowledged that “efforts” have begun after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistan this week, meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other officials.
“I can report without being specific that there are efforts under way. They are serious and I completely agree with that fundamental premise — and so does General [David] Petraeus and so does President Obama — there is no military solution,” he told NPR. “And there are very active efforts now to seek an appropriate kind of political settlement.”
…Kerry said that any “appropriate” settlement would have to include “a renunciation of al-Qaeda,” a “reduction of violence,” a “recognition of the constitutional rights of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and greater efforts to reduce sanctuaries for insurgency.”
Once a quitter, always a quitter. Once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite. Once a putz, always a putz.

Is it just me, or did Turdy Kennedy's "widows peak" always make him look like a poor man's Eddy Munster?
There is a special place in Hell for hypocrites like kerry. He is a worthless human being, let alone taking up space in Congress. He conveniently repeats his lies about the conduct of U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam and *never* brings up what the V.C. or NVA did.
He is a lifetime member of the Julia Assange club with a hard-on for the U.S., it's armed forces and *complete* disdain for the populace. I would not be sad when Satan finally calls this piece-of-shit home.

I concur completely...
, I love John Kerry! In fact, I love anyone who criticizes America and talks bad about our military men and women. They have a special place in my heart and that's why I continue to vote for them election after election.
How nice for you. Enjoy that freedom while you can cause the times, they are a-changin'.
Maybe he'll get them to throw half as much acid into the school girl's faces....
What an A$$hole.....
Most Liberals are too freaking stoopid to realize that Genghis Khan was very very much different from the Taliban. The Great Khan actually had freedom of religion...there was representation by EVERY religion...there was no tolerance for ONE religion.
He also got rid of the idea that you were advanced by virtue of birth, i.e....winning the sperm lottery like the Kennedy clan.
Read up on Genghis Khan, a fascinating man.
The scum who continually elect this piece of shit, should all be shunned-as they have allowed this retard(that is for the folks of Mass who have made it illegal to say retard) to continue to embarrass America, year after year, after year. he should have been tried for treason and executed a long time ago-but the libtards love a good bomb throwing subversive type-so they gave him a job, a lifetime pension, and free travel, so that he can spread his brand of pussy-ism to the corners of the world!
"...there is no military solution"
What the hell happened to the "Bring out the B-52's and carpet bomb them" solution?
You're far kinder than I am, DJ.
My first thought was "Hiroshima" followed quickly by "Nagasaki" ....
Kerry is a two faced liar, he has disgraced the uniform of the United States military, his three purple hearts should be heralded as stolen valor! He could easily be a poster child for why term limits are needed (which would mean NO lifetime retirement at full pay) why career politicians are bottom feeders willing to rewrite the constitution and redefine America, Kerry is a flat out punk! maybe him and fonda can start some mutual admiration club!
Supposedly one of his purple hearts was awarded because he got hit with a shell fragment.
It was an eggshell fragment, but still...
Where can one get tar, feathers and rails these days?
