" To that end, the Kerry-Edwards campaign has rounded up support from a handful of ex-military commanders such as former Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. William J. Crowe, who also vouched for Bill Clinton's national security credentials in 1992. "

Crowe, subsequently - and consequently - was appointed by Clinton to be U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. As a testimony to Crowe's "discerning" judgment, we need only recall Clinton attempting immediately upon taking office to make the U. S. Armed Forces accept open and practicing homosexuals. Not a peep of unhappiness over this came from Crowe.

All this has more than a little to say about Crowe's endorsement of Kerry.

To all interested parties, check swiftvets.com for definitive opinions of J F'n Kerry's heroism.

One question: if you're the captain of a swift boat, the senior guy, who recommends you for medals?

You're right. Exposing him as he is! LOL!!

Vietnam veterans who rally for him? NO!!!

He dug up a few guys today; but they SURE AREN'T THE MAINSTREAM veterans that I personally know. And for sure, ain't around these parts. Or any parts of the good old USA.

AND, THEN, FOLKS WHO DO NOW PERSONALLY KNOW one. GO ANDFIND AND ASK a true vietnam veteran what he thinks.

Please be sure to keep us informed.

He's a fake wanna be! Ya, sure, read all his BS about his VN service. Four months+ and his 'medals', then he had to go home to Mommy - quite sure he mentioned her in his speech tonight.

Inyeresting Times fans: I mis-spoke earlier. He is not the 'head of' - but he sure is the KEEPER, in my book.

The media was taken over along with hollywood in the 50's. Mc Carthy was right, read TREASON. The media thinks you and I are the dumb ones and they keep trying to dumb us down everyday. Television is made so you don't have to think. Picture the opening to the Brady Bunch, who was the middle square? I want everyone to try this.








If you answered Alice, you now know why it is called tv programing.

Excellent anti-Kerry video laying out the VietNam case against him...

Great to forward and spread to the public.

Kerry Fitness Reports in Vietnam Show Him Unfit for Command
(Explodes Central Kerry Campaign Lie)

Kerry’s FITREPs are awash in dings, and some of the reports border on the adverse, particularly his combat FITREPs. The FITREPs convey significant performance problems and suggest problems in conduct, so much so that it is surprising that the campaign chose to release them. This may suggest that the FITREPs held from public view are even more adverse.

In what would customarily be an opportunity for a glowing “swan song” FITREP, the Commanding Officer of USS Gridley (DLG-21) tacitly blasts Kerry on his departure for Swift Boat duty by ranking him significantly below the norm in desirability for virtually every Navy assignment possible -– command, staff, whatever. He is a ship handler who is dinged in ship handling. He is in line for command, but his CO doesn’t want him near the bridge. He is slammed in all performance areas –- most notably and significantly in initiative and reliability. The “nice” narrative emphasizes performance in collateral duties, but in the grades and marks, the CO is telling the selection board and detailer loud and clear that this officer is lazy, unreliable and not suited for command. 3 SEP 68 (W.E. HARPER).

And how his "rescue of a Army Captain" was fake.

Is that the guy who says he almost drowned and Kerry putlled him out of the water?

Is this the story that nobody bothered to tell Douglas Brinkley until the guy showed up at Kerry rallies -- and he had to go back and "edit" his big old definitive biography of Kerry?

How could nobody NOT have told Brinkley if that story was true and as big a deal as they have made it out to be?

I know that the swiftboat guys are making the rounds on the radio talk-show circuit and getting some attention. If you weren't aware, there is a website that you can donate to-
SwiftBoatVeteransForTruth.com. They are sure making some noise. I hope they keep it up til November!

Until FOX ABC NBC CBS CNN ACTUALLY tell the REAL truth these kind of lies will stay.

Why do you think, back in May, when Swift Boat Vets had there 1:20 press conference it was blackballed by the big 5 major TV and Cable newsrooms?

I'm sorry I didn't read your post before I responded to the picture of your hubby, SL. Poor guy. What a hero, to have suffered so much and still did his job. Duty, honor,country...Your husband,and the guys he served with,understood that-it's quite obvious. God bless you both.
And, you are right....The very idea that Kerry upholds himself as some kind of hero goes beyond nauseating. I sure hope the vets in this country make so damned much noise before November that they will not be ignored.
