Chuckie Watch 39: Chuckie questions Kerry

Chuckie's heard that this here Kerry feller is gone be the Democrat candidate for President. And Chuckie don't like it.

Chuckie's written up a Questionaire for John Kerry. The questions give a little clue of why Chuckie actually thinks Fox News is fair and balanced.

Do you really believe that your support among veterans is as strong as you claim? The reason I ask is that my email indicates otherwise, in fact some of the 'Nam vets feel downright vitriolic towards you and consider you a traitor to the military because of your post Vietnam
endeavors.
(my emphasis)

Now, as we saw way back in Chuckie Watch 4, Chuckie was against the Vietnam War. Because, he says, "We could have won that war, if it would have been fought on the battlefiedl instead of the halls of Congress and the Oval Office." Whatever that means. Chuckie's not always too clear. But I'm not sure why it's okay for Chuckie to have criticized the war as a citizen but not okay for Kerry, a citizen and a veteran, to criticize it. And I've talked a couple of times about the kind of "soldiers' letters" Chuckie gits (here and here). Somehow, they all wind up sounding pretty much like Chuckie.

This question for Kerry is pretty cute, too:

You seem to be a big fan of the United Nations. If elected would you give over the sovereignty of this nation to the U.N.? Would you assign our troops to a U.N. commander to serve in a cause that may not benefit the USA? If this nation were in eminent danger would you take it to the U.N. and not act against the threat until the move was ratified by the Security Council? For instance if we had another 9/11 incident would you go to the U.N. before you sent troops?

Uh, Chuckie, your heroes in the Bush Administration went to the UN before they sent troops to Afghanistan or Iraq. In the first case, the UN authorized the military action. (Like I said, Chuckie isn't too clear sometimes.)
