BAND OF BROTHERS
John Kerry once pledged: “I will have a Vice President who will not conduct secret meetings with polluters.” But what of Kerry’s own secret meetings?
We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia.
Guess that explains why Kerry’s pet dog was named VC.
UPDATE. Oops! My mistake. It isn’t “Khmer Rouge�; it’s Kymer Rouge, as Margo Kingston points out:
The rise of the Kymer Rouge was triggered by the American bombings.
At the same link, Kingston dissident Craig Gerrard asks:
Is Margo always this bitter and twisted? Did something happen at the weekend (a democratic election, for instance) to ruin her week?
Margo’s response:
The first Australian died in combat in Iraq.
Her grief is touching. Yet in 2003 Margo wrote:
We have invaded Iraq. Iraq, or its new allies, have every right to attack back.
Is Margo Kingston one of the band of brothers?

You tell them.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 02 01 at 10:28 AM • permalinkI’m listening to Ramsey Clark on CSPAN right now. He doesn’t make any more sense than Margo.
Prior to that a guy named Kerr was on. He writes for Science Mag. and took on the Global Warming argument from the pro side. The guy was incompetent, stammering and admittited that 1] even if we undertook a massive effort to reduce CO2, it wouldn’t do too much, and 2] the new “world scientific consensus” is that there can be “increased confidence” in the warming models, giving me the sense that there actually isn’t much confidence in them to begin with. I can certainly see why: garbage + garbage = garbage.
Margo makes no less sense. Mutant indestructible fish are taking over. The end is near! But let’s have some fun shooting so long as we have ammo.
J. Peden — No, the good news is Margo is indestructible. Why pound on a drum that will break? We’re guaranteed hours of future fun for the whole family.

Hence one can have Moslem or Muslim and Usama or Osama. Same with Cyrillic - Czar or Tsar?
It’s odd that Kerry’s now delivering weapons to the Khmer Rouge because in his most celebrated telling of this story - the one that was “seared - seared!” into his mind - he has the Khmer Rouge shooting at him. That Cambodia excursion must have been some kind of convoluted double secret black op alright.
Posted by Randal Robinson on 2005 02 01 at 02:21 PM • permalinkFrom the continual changes and the incoherance of the story, it’s beginning to sound like the trip that was “seared, seared” into Kerry’s memory wasn’t one that he took on a Swift boat but one that he took on acid.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2005 02 01 at 07:49 PM • permalinkFunnily enough, Margo was castigated for ignoring Asian political issues. To show her deep understanding of Asian issues, she addressed the corrrespondant, Tiu Fu Fong , by his surname, Tiu rather than his/her, rather than their first name as she does to of all of her other correspondants.
She really has no idea.
It’s odd that Kerry’s now delivering weapons to the Khmer Rouge because in his most celebrated telling of this story - the one that was “seared - seared!� into his mind - he has the Khmer Rouge shooting at him.
I figure even the Khmer Rouge weren’t sure which side of the weapons-delivery issue John Kerry was going to take, so they played it safe and shot at him anyway. Good thing his lucky hat protected him.
Sortelli — With Margo, Occam’s Razor has a Moebius strip for a blade…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 02 02 at 03:41 AM • permalinkThe frightening thing is, how very close this very very strange and weird individual came to being POTUS- if he were any ‘ordinary Jo’ he would have been locked up in some psychiatric institution and undergoing therapy or would have been charged with sedition or as a traitor and gaoled. Why is he still on the loose and also what is wrong with the people of Mass. who keep electing these two most evil and dangerous dopes as their reps Kerry and Kennedy- Kennedy ‘s appalling behaviour when he allowed Mary Jo to die by suffocation rather than face up to the fact that he was a drunk and unlicenced driver- it is utterly criminal that he is allowed into the US senate and spout forth on the world stage.

Oh yeah, who was going to be his vice president? Some attorney. Where did he find him? He wouldn’t have secret meetings with polluters—except to talk how much it would take to pay his client off. Yeah, that’s presidential material.
How small Kerry-Edwards seems now.
