"He wants it both ways. When he discovered that throwing away your medals was politically a negative, he came up with the story about his ribbons and someone else's medals. Kerry realized that he couldn't walk away from the story entirely, especially since he has the medals displayed prominently in his office. However, the fly in the ointment is that we now have the citations, released by him, signed by Lehman. If he indeed requested replacement medals, he has a real problem, i.e., he was telling the truth initially, lied in the 80s, and is lying now."

Ever since the matter of Lehman's signature was first mentioned on Free Republic, I have wondered about it. I think you have described the most likely scenario. He threw his medals away. And so he lied and then lied again. This is definitely his M.O.

I have been in contact with some members of the media. They responded that they are pursuing the story. If it comes out that Kerry did indeed request replacement medals, he is finished. Even the leftist media won't give him a pass.
