It seems John Kerry wants to recreate his phony testimony at the so-called Winter Soldier hearings in Congress from 1971;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;One of the lessons that I learned a long time ago and lived out here was that it&#8217;s important to listen to the troops, it&#8217;s important to listen to the folks who are implementing these policies and putting their lives at risk,&#8221; Kerry told National Public Radio in an interview. &#8220;And they often have perspective that isn&#8217;t adequately heard.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess Kerry hasn&#8217;t heard that&#8217;s all so last year. The IVAW tried to stage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1670\">their version almost a year ago<\/a> and like everything else it fizzled. And yes, it is important to listen to the troops. So why didn&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnkerry.com\/news\/entry\/kerry_says_petraeus_white_house_report_on_iraq_fails_to_make_the_case\">Kerry listen to general Petraeus<\/a>?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/kerry-petraeus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9964\" title=\"kerry-petraeus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/kerry-petraeus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/kerry-petraeus.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/kerry-petraeus-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>General Petraeus was one of the troops, too.<\/p>\n<p>Why doesn&#8217;t Kerry just say what he means &#8211; he wants to hear from the anti-war activists because that&#8217;s the only testimony he values.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So I think it&#8217;s very important to have that kind of a hearing, and I guess that&#8217;s sort of one of the lessons from the past, if you will,&#8221; Kerry added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s lesson from the past if you&#8217;re blind to the REAL lessons you should have learned.
