Followed by a lot of blah blah blah where in you excuse Libby
With "Blah, blah, blah" being defined as the fact relevant to the explanation demonstrating that Libby was charged with a crime, stemming from the investigation, wherein THE MAN WHO WAS IDENTIFIED; THE MAN WHO ADMITTED COMMITTING THE VERY OFFENSE WHICH THE INVESTIGATION WAS TASKED WITH BRINGING TO JUSTICE: WAS NOT CHARGED WITH THAT CRIME; AND WHAT'S MORE HE HAD NO AFFILIATION WITH LIBBY... Thus Doc... use your noddle; what was Libby lying ABOUT? It was not a crime to tell someone that Mrs Plame works for the CIA... it was common knowledge to anyone who knew her that she worked for the CIA... And just what would be the end game for Libby to lie to the FBI to cover up a crime, which neither he, nor his boss; The Vice President, had no part in NOT COMMITING?
..., bring in several unproven charges against Clinton that never saw trial
What unproven charges are those sir? Be specific... I merely repeated the facts of the Clinton Regime... I was there, lived it day in and day out, read dozens of books, including "The Star Report"... watched thousands of hours of live news coverage; and engaged in hundreds of debates on the issue over the 8 years of which the Clinton Regime was in power. I have more than sufficient knowledge of that period to qualify for a Doctorate in the subject... If you'd like to debate it... I'd be happy to do so... just open a thread and let me know where it is... then brace yourself... it's gonna get ugly.
, make slanderous accusations against an American Vet and excuse the poor service of someone that (legally) found a way to dodge service in Nam.
First, I didn’t slander anyone... and it's worth noting that you seem to have found a bit of a reticent streak here... STATE THE SPECIFICS OF THAT WHICH YOU CONTEST...
It's hilarious that you bust Bush's balls about serving in the Air Guard, even while promoting John Kerry to hero status for his tour with the Naval RESERVE... which is the naval equivalent of the National Guard...
Kerry is a worthless piece of shit, whose service is such that he
REFUSED to ISSUE THE RELEASE OF THAT SERVICE RECORD...
When you're own CREW and those crews of Boats you floated next to, spend 40 years chasing your sorry ass down to report to anyone who will listen, what a piece of shit you were when they served with you... it's a fair bet that you were a piece of shit, of the first order.
This in contrast to GW Bush who released the FULL SCOPE of his service record... and with regard to your assertion that service in the Air National Guard is somehow a means to avoid combat, I'd love to introduce you to some friends of mine who've been in the Air and Land forces of the National Guard for most of their adult lives and I suspect if you'd like to meet them, that most of them would be happy to accept your apology... but there's one who you'd have to kill...; and while I've never met ya... and thus have no means to know the level of your physical prowess... suffice it to say that if you're not a regular contestant, with a superior record of performance in the MMA, you'll be lucky to survive... well, actually... surviving might not be such a great option.
The fellas in the National Guard are fairly accustomed to taking crap on this issue... and MOST are fairly tolerant of it... particularly with those who've served active duty... but when someone comes out and emphatically asserts that JOINING THE GUARD IS COWARDOUS... the odds of getting out of that scene with all of your teeth are fairly slim.
I served 6 years all told, in the Marine Corps... never had a single shot fired at me... but in that time, I broke my leg; was nearly killed twice; witnessed a friend break his back... after I left the Corps, one of my closest friend was nearly killed when the chopper he was in was blown off the fantail of the ship they were landing on and I still have the photos of him hanging upside down, dangling from his safety harness as the chopper rested precariously from the edge of that ship... and so it goes...
My last year of active duty, on the order of 2500 individuals lost their lives in the US Military... and all we were doing friend was training ourselves to destroy whatever we might face, when we were ordered to destroy them...
No one pinned a medal on any of us when we were injured; no one threw parade when the Helicopter we were in crashed... No news accounts even noted the day that my buddy fell from that ridge and broke his back... we just filed it under 'shit-happens' and went on down the road.
John Kerry used his military service to feather his personal nest... he RECOMMENDED HIMSELF FOR MERITORIOUS RECOGNITION... AND HE MET WITH THE NORTH VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST ENEMY, IN PARIS IN 1971, EVEN AS HIS FORMER CREW WAS STILL FIGHTING THAZT ENEMY... while a member of the US Naval Reserve... and returned to the United States and began to actively undermine the US war effort in Vietnam... LYING to a SENATE COMMITTEE... about his service and has since lied about it in numerous written accounts; not the least of which was the now infamous Christmas he falsely claimed to have spent in Cambodia... the lying sack of shit...
Lastly, you want to declare that 'perjury is perjury'; setting aside the FACTS of the Respective cases... And the reasoned perspective of your opposition, relevant to that case… Sorry Doc... That doesn't serve reason; and what’s more, it is NOT a principled position.
