Republican Congressman Henry Hyde blames John Kerry for September 11
by John in DC - 6/15/2006 01:05:00 PM

I'm watching it live. There is no other interpretation than admitted-adulterer Henry Hyde is blaming John Kerry for the predicament America is in today with regards to the war on terror.

3,000 Americans "incinerated," per Henry Hyde. And apparently it's all John Kerry's fault because, according to Henry Hyde, John Kerry hates defending America. He hated defending America in the mid-90s, and, well, look where we are today.

These people really are pigs. And it's even sadder that the Republicans have so little to offer America that their only new idea for winning the Iraq war is to bash John Kerry.

Our troops deserve better than an incompetent commander in chief and a Republican congress that has no more ideas.

1. What was ol' Henry's military record again?

[atreides1]

4. Here it is

He also served in the United States Navy during World War II where he served in the South Pacific, New Guinea and in combat in the Philippines until August of 1946. He went on to serve in the Naval Reserve from 1946 to 1968, where he retired at the rank of Commander, after serving as officer in charge of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Reserve Unit in Chicago.

2. henry hyde is human garbage......john kerry volunteered to go to...

...vietnam. where did henry hyde ever volunteer to go fight?

[BOSSHOG]

3. The party of responsibility never takes responsibility for anything

hyde is a hateful, evil, lying pig; that's why he is loved by the bush base.

The best line I've used to get a right wing jackass close to a heart attack - If Clinton or Kerry or Gore had been president on September 11th there would not have been a terrorist attack because those men did not need a terrorist attack.

bush was told bin laden was fixing to attack America. What did bush do? Go on vacation looking forward to the day when he could be declared a war president.

5. Perhaps the only

saving grace here is that nobody (well except the rapture crowd) takes these clowns seriously anymore, the kind of swill Hyde is spewing only makes them look more desperate and dishonest.

6. I thought it was Clinton's

fault..will he make up his fucking mind?

7. Mr. Hyde, John Kerry didn't ignore a PDB titled.........

"Bin Laden determined to strike in US." John Kerry was never in business with members of the Bin Laden family. John Kerry didn't sit in a class room while America was being attacked. Mr. Hyde, kiss my ass!!!!

9. Also, Kerry fought and was instrumental in closing BCCI, OBL's bank

Kerry may be the LEAST guilty politician in the 1990s. He was investigating these international crime and terrorist networks - until his committee was ended. His book, "New War", written in 1996, spoke of the need to deal with this globalization of crime.


His investigation of BCCI was done working against the entire Republican and Democratic party. The final report of his committee when it was taken away, called for things like further investigating the BCCI/A.Q. Khan connection - BCCI funded their bomb. Had this investigation occured, all the A. Q. Khan network sales of nuclear material and technology to countries like North Korea and Iran could have been avoided.

I assume Kerry did far more good on this in the 1990s than Hyde.

8. Hey, don't knock Henry Hyde. He's a statesman.

If you believe me, take the word of our corporate media.

Yeah, sure, he did get some bad publicity for porking another man's wife a while back. But he was immature, a mere child in his forties.

He older and wiser now. And he fits our corporate media's definition of a statesman: a right-wing politician who can no longer get it up.

[wisteria]

10. The repubs are again drudging out and exploiting 9/11 to keep

their mismanged and unnecessary war going until they can find a way out of the mess,the oil is secure and everyone collects their dollars. They should be explaining in detail why they don't agree with Senator Kerry. There should be honest debate- not these dishonest, unproven, meant to scare us, talking points about redeploying being "cutting and running" and the end result being increased terrorism and all over gobal danger from terrorists. Truthfully, isn't that what we have now courtesy of the Bush administration? The nerve of these people. They have been wrong on just about everything, maded the world a more dangerous place and created resentment towards the US around the world and they are still out their promoting themselves as the better party to defend our country and keep us safe? I pray our country has woken up enough to see through their nonsense.

[ComerPerro]

11. They are all on now balming everything on Clinton

[BrklynLiberal]

12. He is so senile, that he probably said Kerry when he meant Clinton.

I mean isn't EVERYTHING Clinton's fault??? :sarcasm:

[peacetalksforall]

13. A Badge of Courage for Kerry if this comes from Hyde. nt

[beachmom]

14. What are the House rules on attacking Senators?

I know in the Senate that there are strict rules on what Senators can say about their colleagues; I wasn't sure if the House has any rules, because this would obviously cross the line . . .

15. WAG THE DOG, NO WAR FOR MONICA

http://www.cnn.com/US/9607/30/clinton.terrorism/

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Clinton urged Congress Tuesday to act swiftly in developing anti-terrorism legislation before its August recess. (1.6 MB AIFF or WAV sound)sound icon

"We need to keep this country together right now. We need to focus on this terrorism issue," Clinton said during a White House news conference.

But while the president pushed for quick legislation, Republican lawmakers hardened their stance against some of the proposed anti-terrorism measures. "

[Tactical Progressive]

16. And yet Democrats everywhere are still afraid to speak the truth

That BUSH AND CHENEY INTENTIONALLY LEFT AMERICA OPEN TO TERRORIST ATTACK IN 2001.

Republicans have no problem inferring blame on Democrats for the Republican's own purposeful negligence that led to 9-11.

Their gall is off the scale, but can you blame them? How many of you have ever brought up the fact that Republicans ignored serious warnings from every sector, domestic and foreign, to let this country get attacked? I'll bet not one out of one-hundred even right here on DU bring this up regularly in personal conversations based on how infrequently I see reference to it online. Their treachery five years ago remains the biggest boot on Democrats necks and Dems won't even broach the subject.

I'm not talking insane MIHOP 'controlled demolition' conspiracy theories here, just the factual reality of the magnitude and breadth of attack warnings that were completely ignored by BushCo leading to 9-11. Too many and too serious to have in any way been accidental.

If regular Democrats are too afraid to even speak the truth, well, I'd probably do the same if the situations were reversed. Thank Henry Hyde - at least he might get people talking about culpability for the WTC. Rank and file Dems certainly won't, when that's ALL they should have been talking about for at least the past three years. No, Dems would rather talk about Bush accidentally dissing a blind guy for three hours. Fucking unbelievable.

17. What? I thought Clinton was the 20th hijacker

Or was it Saddam? Make up your mind!

[blm]

18. What's really happening is that the GOP fears the PUBLIC hearing Kerry's

withdrawal plan.

So they're gumming up the coverage with BULLSHIT like this to keep the public from hearing it.
