"I think it's despicable," Cleland said. "It seemed the impact, or the intent [of the comment], was to say, 'Hey, I'm a Vietnam veteran and that's my main qualification to be President.'"

Isn't this what Kerry's been implying, or am I missing something here?

Exactly!!! Glad I read your post before writing mine. Maybe someone can ask Cleland if that isn't the point of John Kerry's entire campaign? After all, anything else is a negative personal attack, right?

I think they are keeping Cleland in a closet, and they just roll him out to feign outrage whenever any Republican mentions the word "Vietnam".
