Absurd assumptions abound.

First, of course Al Qaeda *could* win this war, particularly if assnuts like you control the election.

Second, of course we care about what Al Qaeda's perception of us. It is crucial that Al Qaeda perceive the United States as willing to fight.

And finally, just for a bit of amusement on this pleasant Friday, it looks like the story about John Fonda Kerry being present at a WAW meeting where members voted on whether to assassinate U.S. leaders is TRUE!

"Senator Kerry of Massachusetts yesterday retreated from his earlier steadfast denials that he attended a meeting of Vietnam Veterans Against the War at which a plan to assassinate U.S. Senators was debated. The reversal came as new evidence, including reports from FBI informants, emerged that contradicted Mr. Kerry’s previous statements about the gathering, which was held in Kansas City, Mo. in November 1971."

This story has legs! Wow. I was skeptical at first. Admittedly, Fonda Kerry did vote against the assassinations. But he also failed to report the vote to the authorities. He apparently considered it to be a legitimate topic of debate. And perhaps it was. But that won't matter. When this story starts getting some traction, Kerry is going to be looking very bad indeed.

Have a nice day.

Absurd assumptions abound.

Indeed. I could not agree more.

That's quite a response. There are occassional liberals with brains enough to have a bit of a debate, but you are sadly not one of them.

No reasonable person would suggest, assume, or imply that Al Qaeda's opinion of the U.S. is not important. It is important that it be clear to all and sundry assnuts that the U.S. has resolve, will not cave in, and will prevail. As long as terrorists actually think they have a hope in hell of prevailing, they will continue their quest. To destroy that hope, we must convince them of our resolve. Perception and belief matter.

This elementary fact will no doubt sail right through the airy spaces in your head. Perhaps you'd be better occupied with a cock in your mouth. That seems to be your specialty.

Anyone who is stupid enough to believe there ever was any real connection between Kerry and Fonda, or is duplicitous enough to continue trying to spread those lies after there falsehood was proven, does not deserve a decent answer, freeper.

Whether I "deserve" an an answer is beside the point. You HAVE no answer.

Woa! Martial got a troll! And a really insulting one, at that.

"Cock in your mouth"—is that really necessary? And the insults to Martial's rather keen intelligence? In the adult world, we say, "That's not nice."

Fonda is a born-again christian grandmother these days. She regrets much about her trip to Hanoi and has apologized to veterans for any disrespect her younger, less-disciplined self had shown toward them. That said, there are a lot of horrible rumors about her activities that are pure fantasy, so tread with care.

As for Kerry, he quit the V.V.A.W. and formed his own group, most likely because such debates as assassinating leaders offended him and he sought to ally with cooler heads. If he had any connection with Fonda, it's the same one he had with John Lennon—i.e., famous well-connected people who opposed the war in Vietnam. Not much of a connection, really.
