Kerry's Military Records- from the internet WHY HASN'T KERRY SIGNED HIS FORM 180?
"This is more than an eye opener. Unlike McCain, Bush, and Gore,,,, Kerry has adamantly refused to authorize the release of his military records. Most think it's because of his phony battle medals. I think the real reason is below. He was not granted an Honorable Discharge until March 2001, almost 30 years after his ostensible service term had ended! This is very much out of the ordinary, and highly suspect. There are 5 classes of Discharge: Honorable, General, Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct, and Dishonorable. My guess is that he was Discharged in the '70s, but not Honorably. He appealed this sometime while Clinton was doing trouser-tricks in the Oval Office. Political pressure was applied, and the Honorable Discharge was then granted. His file is probably rife with reports of this, submissions and hearings on the appeal, reports of his "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy, along with protests that were filed with respect to his alleged valor under fire.
This will blow up in his face before October 15th. "

I also have been irritated that Kerry has been allowed to avoid signing his Form 180. The AP got an order from a Federal Judge for the release of all of President Bush's military records. Why hasn't the same been done for Kerry?
I haven't heard of the RNC pursuing this issue. If he did get a General discharge and that was upgraded to an Honorable in March 2001 it would be a stake in his chest where his heart should be if he had one. The 2004 election
would be over except for the far left liberals who never seem to understand what has happened in the World since 9/11

There is something fishy about him not releasing his records. Maybe this is the "October Suprise" that Karl Rove referenced last month.
I think you’re right about the October surprise. But Rove won’t spring the trap until it’s too late for a Hillary/Edwards switch-a-roo.
