Breitbart.tv � Kerry: No Bloodbath In Vietnam After US RedeploymentAnd that doesn't count folks who perished in the boatlift, who never made it to the camps, who were just shot out of hand... the total's been estimated up to about two million, but could well be more. And we won't talk about Cambodia - what was the count there, about three million? Yeah, those were good times indeed... for murdering bastards.Sen. John Kerry said during a C-SPAN appearance that fears of a bloodbath after the US withdrawal from Vietnam never materialized. He says he's met survivors of the "reeducation camps" who are thriving in modern Vietnam. An award-winning investigation by the Orange County Register concludes that at least 165,000 people perished in the camps.
But in Kerry's mind... the Communists were apparently noble, gentle folks who carefully re-educated the population. Could it be Altzheimers?
We really dodged a bullet when he wasn't able to steal the election in '04. Bad as you think Bush might be - at least he's in this reality instead of whichever alternate Kerry came from.

Remember that is only the 'accounted for' dead in Vietnam... the 'unaccounted for' that died while fleeing by ship or ground is not known. And those that depended upon the US to stay and fight and win? Those that wished to leave have much to account for on their behalf. They did not hold up their part of the bargain to build peace. The blood of innocents is on their hands for leaving, too. And the boneyards. They have no answer for the dead... or the living.

It's all style over substance, AJacksonian - after declaring support, nothing else was needed. Saying you'll do something is the same as doing it, at least on the left.
Political promises are only good until the next election. That gives them a shelf-life of a maximum of 2 years.
