There is an interesting juxtaposition of Kerry's recent and ruined trip to Iraq, and the death of Gerald R. Ford. It was during the Ford administration that a plea for funding to support the South Vietnamese in their efforts to drive off the re-invading North Vietnamese aggressors was voted down by the Democrats. Despite the fact that continued American support had been part of the decision-making process for the so-called Paris Peace talks that resulted in what we now realize was the big lie by Hanoi, when asked to fulfill that promise, the Democrats did their cutting and running. After the communists took over, the world soon learned that their victory would result in a death toll in the hundreds of thousands. Or millions, counting Cambodia.
Kerry is probably setting up the framework for another cut and run by the Democrats. He was very busy talking to the North Vietnamese before the Paris Peace Treaty was signed, and one can only speculate what he told Assad in Syria.
Little wonder why our warriors ignored him. He insulted us back in the '70s, and he continues to insult our warriors today. Had I been there, I would have avoided him like the plague that he is.
