Kerry/Rassmann swift boat stories collideIn a major gaffe, Camp Kerry was caught today with colliding stories concerning Kerrys Vietnam heroics. [see FreeRepublic thread] In a much touted tale, Kerry is credited with saving the life of Green Beret veteran Jim Rassmann while they were on a 5-boat patrol during the Vietnam War. The group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth vehemently denies Kerrys story and has supplied proof that Kerry lied about the circumstances behind his pulling Rassmann out of the river. In an Aug. 10, 2004, editorial published in the Wall Street Journal, Green Beret veteran Jim Rassmann defends Kerrys heroics and includes this statement: "While returning from a SEA LORDS operation along the Bay Hap River, a mine detonated under another swift boat. Machine-gun fire erupted from both banks of the river, and a second explosion followed moments later. The second blast blew me off John's swift boat, PCF-94, throwing me into the river. Fearing that the other boats would run me over, I swam to the bottom of the river and stayed there as long as I could hold my breath." Now, compare this statement by Rassmann in his Wall Street Journal editorial with a Kerry campaign press release, still on Kerrys website as of 8/10/2004: "On March 13, 1969, Rassmann, a Green Beret, was traveling down the Bay Hap river in a boat behind Kerrys when both were ambushed by exploding land mines and enemy fire coming from the shore. Kerry was hit in the arm, while a mine blew Rassmanns boat out of the water. With enemy fire coming from both sides of the river and swift boats evacuating from the area, Kerrys crew chose to turn their boat toward the ambush to save Rassmann." Rassmann says he was on Kerrys swift boat; Kerry says Rassmann was on another boat behind his. Whos telling the truth, and who is not? |

The Kerry site already deleted the link? Ha! It figures. But the original Freeper thread documents it's existence and one of the posters said they had copied the press release from Kerry's website and saved it for later proof -- speculating Kerry would delete it ASAP.
Oh thanks darling! L0L
