KERRY'S PHONEY EVIDENCE<br><br>
By Gary Aldrich<br><br>
The most important fact to remember about Hard-Left Liberals is that, for
them, truth is relative - a mere tool to be used to garner any advantage
over a political foe. Recent claims regarding President Bush’s
National Guard service over 30-years ago, seem to be based on documents
recently “found” which purport to bolster accusations of Bush’s poor
service and performance.<br><br>
In a recent <i>60-Minutes</i> broadcast, these documents were showcased
as exhibit “A” to prove the validity of the allegations. It now
appears that the key evidence against Bush is a horribly obvious
forgery. The style of the lettering and the manner of the printing
prove to even the most gullible reader that these papers could not have
been authored in the 70’s, as claimed.<br><br>
As we are distracted by the claims and counterclaims about George Bush’s
service to his country (recall, he flew a multimillion dollar fighter jet
and was honorably discharged), the anniversary of September 11, 2001
passes. How shall we remember that awful day? What should we be
remembering about what has happened since?<br><br>
As a former FBI Special Agent, the first thing that comes to my mind is
that we have been terror-free on our own soil since that awful day, and
that’s not a fluke. George W. Bush provided the leadership and made
the correct personnel and policy decisions to ensure we would be able to
head off future attacks. His ideas and his leadership have been the
sole basis of our comfort and safety as the rest of the world faces
unspeakable horror. A lack of terror attack is also good insurance
against economic distress and unemployment.<br><br>
So, thanks to President Bush’s administration, we have been safe since
2001. I think it is very important to remember that the Hard-Left
Liberals fought very hard and long with President Bush when he was trying
to fashion a Homeland Security agency that would be free from
incompetence, the usual federal employee bureaucracy, and inevitable
deadwood. Congressional leadership from the Hard-Left had more
interest in protecting a vital Leftist interest group – the federal
employee unions – than in protecting the homeland, or so it would
appear.<br><br>
As a result of their twisted priorities, one Democratic Senator, Zell
Miller, split with the leadership of his own party and became a classic
whistle-blower, telling the world how bad things had become in his
Left-leaning party. He wrote
<a href="http://www.townhall.com/bookclub/miller.html">a bestselling
book</a> about it and was invited to be a keynote speaker at the GOP
convention.<br><br>
I’m also pleased to acknowledge that other groups of whistle-blowers have
stepped forward –various groups of Veterans including the Swift Boat
Veterans. These courageous men are blowing the whistle on Kerry’s
post-Vietnam, antiwar activities. They are calling for the release
of real documents about John Kerry that are held by the U.S. military and
can be made public upon receipt of a simple one-page request from Senator
Kerry. And guess what? He won’t do it!<br><br>
It was an amazing blunder on the part of these Kerry Kool-Aid drinkers to
trot out phony documents that were supposed to damage the reputation of
President Bush, but CBS News took the bait. This selective reliance
on “documents” when the biased mainstream media wants to attack President
Bush will have just the opposite effect – we know where there are real
documents about Senator John Kerry and we need to see them. I hope
a drumbeat begins now that will force the Senator to release the real
stuff. <br><br>
On my desk are copies of FBI documents – not forgeries – that label
Kerry’s group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War or VVAW, as the national
security risk that it really was.<br><br>
The title of these documents is “New Left – IS.” To FBI agents
serving at that time, we knew this to mean that a pro-Communist group
known as “The New Left” was considered an internal security threat to
this nation. The New Left was known to have adopted a Marxist
ideology, and Senator John Kerry was a leader of this group.
<br><br>
The FBI no longer uses the label “IS.” They have converted all such
investigations to a more accurate name: Domestic Terrorism.
Call it what you like; then and now, these are serious matters – criminal
investigations which could have resulted in hard time in a federal
pen. The Bush critics like to talk about his D.W.I., but while our
president was acting frisky as a typical college student, young Mr. Kerry
was under FBI surveillance.<br><br>
If he knows what’s good for him politically, Senator Kerry will move on
and stop talking about what happened thirty years ago. Otherwise,
growing numbers will insist he sign the release forms which would reveal
to everyone whose side he was on when he returned from Vietnam.
Senator Kerry, all you have to do is release your files – especially
those FBI files.<br><br>
