For example, the fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations (CNO), Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me -- 30 years ago when he was still CNO -- that during his own command of US naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets.

"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage

...But if they become a front-runner for president, the whole ball-game changes. Their past is scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb.

Not if the bulk of American media has any say in it......

Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, ...

"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage.

So is Admiral Elmo ZUMWALT still alive?....Where can he be contacted?....and how do we get him on National media programs?

RECORDS! I want to see ALL of Kerry's military records. (particularly those signed by Zumwalt)

PHOTO PROVES 'AWOL' BUSH JOINED D.C. PEACE RALLIES WITH HANOI JANE FONDA
-- DEMOCRATS APOLOGIZE TO PRESIDENT


WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration today released a photograph which it said verifies that a young George W. Bush was serving his country as a National Guardsman by attending "patriotic anti-war rallies with Jane Fonda and John Kerry in Washington D.C."

"The President felt at the time that the best way to serve his country was to support the anti-war movement," said White House press secretary Scott McClellan. "So, he hitched a ride in a VW microbus with some other patriots from his Alabama Guard unit, and went to cheer Jane and John."

Sen. Kerry said, "This evidence finally puts to rest the scurrilous allegations about Mr. Bush's service in the National Guard. Now that it's been proven that my opponent was a true patriot, marching with Jane Fonda against war, we can move on to a discussion of the issues facing our nation today."
