Remember that Rove was the recepient of numerous war-time deferments...


NEW YORK (AP) — President Bush's chief strategist said Wednesday that Democratic Sen. John Kerry tarnished "the records and service" of fellow Vietnam veterans with his anti-war protests, and compared the U.S. war on terrorism to the decades-old conflict in Northern Ireland.

"This is going to be more like the conflict in Northern Ireland, where the Brits fought terrorism, and there's no sort of peace accord with al-Qaida saying, 'We surrender,'" Rove said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Bush created a campaign stir this week by saying the war on terror cannot be won. Under pressure from Democrats, the president backed off the statement Tuesday by drawing a distinction between a conventional war and the shadowy terror fight.

The conflict over Northern Ireland claimed more than 3,000 lives from 1969 to 1994, with the IRA causing about 1,800 deaths, anti-Catholic outlaws about 900, and British troops and police about 350. About 185 people have died in politically motivated violence since, chiefly committed by anti-Catholic extremists and IRA dissidents.

No Karl, YOU disrespect the troops. You smeared the awarding process, casting doubt on every veteran who ever won a bronze star, a silver star, a purple heart. You helped send 1,000 of our very own troops to die in a war they now can't win. 10,000 more now have purple hearts of their own for wounds suffered in your war. You have betrayed the troops and the American people.

You're right man. Rove should've accused honorably discharged vets as being AWOL.

Why does questioning John Kerry's war record and dubious medals translate into smearing the entire military compliment that served in Vietnam?

Do you actually believe all the crap you post Dan? That is just an absolutely laughable quote.
