To rightwinger: Say it often enough and you might believe it.John Kerry is a true American Patriot. He fought for his country and then fought to save the lives of his fellow soldiers by getting us out of an unjust war
In an interview published in the Wall Street Journal that will hardly be noticed outside conservative circles, the North Vietnam general who received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975, has confirmed every argument made by the right about the war in Vietnam: It was a war to stop an aggression from the North, not to suppress a revolution in the South; it was a war that America could have won--by cutting off the Ho Chi Minh Trail through which North Vietnam was invading the South; it was a war that the left and its "anti-war" movement caused America to lose by sapping its will to fight.
Incidentally, to be fair, John Kerry was not famous when he was betraying the country. He was a US Senator in 1995 when General Bui Tin was interviewed; so he had every reason to protect Kerry:
Young asked if the anti-war movement was important to Hanoi's victory. General Bui answered: "It was essential to our strategy. Support for the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."

You can bet that the crowd in Hanoi were shaking their heads in bewilderment when Kerry first went to Congress. Kerry not becoming president in 2004 was the one and only time he disappointed them. Kerry did give the old Commies a good laugh when they saw the traitor they met in Paris in 1971 go on to become secretary of state.
