U.S. SOLDIERS KILLED CIVILIANS IN VIETNAM; INVESTIGATIONS, INQUIRIES, HEARINGS UNLIKELY; RANDOM CONVERSATIONS POSSIBLE Arlington, VA - (IGN) - Revelations that former U.S. Senator Bob "Bob" Kerrey and seven other Navy SEALS killed civilians during a nighttime raid near Da Doo Ron Bay in 1969 during the Vietnam War stunned the nation's media last week, leading many who pay attention to say, "Hey, this isn't news. All this was known. What, did you think we didn't kill civilians?" "It's been so long since we reported any real news, I'd forgotten that we'd already reported these kinds of stories years ago," said Tim Russert, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, John McLaughlin, Charles Nelson Reilly, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Ted "Ted Baxter" Koppel, and Diane Sawyer, during a media roundtable yesterday. "I'd forgotten there even was a war," said moderator Chris Matthews. "Bullshit, they were all fucking gooks, anyone who says otherwise is a traitor," said G. Gordon Liddy, representing the talk-show radio hosts. "I blame Oliver Stone," said Dennis Prager and George Will. "His movies like 'Platoon' and 'Born On The 4th of July', which depicted our boys killing civilians, that no doubt encouraged that kind of behavior." William Calley could not be reached for comment. |
