Who said this:
"[We are determined] to undertake one last mission, to search out and destroy the last vestige of this barbaric war, to pacify our hearts, to conquer the hate and fear that have driven this country these last ... [few] ... years and more, so that when, thirty years from now, our brothers go down the street without a leg, without an arm, or a face, and small boys ask why, we will be able to say ... [Iraq] ... and not mean a desert, not a filthy obscene memory, but the place where America finally turned and where soldiers like us helped it in the turning."No; it wasn't said by crybaby John Murtha about Iraq; it was REALLY said about Vietnam by JOHN KERRY. Traitors then, traitors still. I found the real quote by Kerry at NRO, in a speech given by WFB to the grads of West Point in 1971. Here's how WFB - who is celebrating his 80th year, God Bless Him - ended his speech. The words are as fitting now as then:
... what I hope you will consider, during these moments of doubt, is the essential professional point: Without organized force, and the threat of the use of it under certain circumstances, there is no freedom, anywhere. Without freedom, there is no true humanity. If America is the monster of John Kerry, burn your commissions tomorrow morning and take others, which will not bind you in the depraved conspiracy you have heard described. If it is otherwise, remember: the freedom John Kerry enjoys, and the freedom I enjoy, are, quite simply, the result of your dedication. Do you wonder that I accepted the opportunity to salute you?
Let's not buckle under the pressure - as Murtha, Kerry, McGovern and others have over the years. We mustn't hand a victory to our enemies which they could never win.
