Personally, I don't think that this will go very far. Fact is John sKerry did serve in Vietnam and he could have gotten killed (in fact I'm surprised he didn't manage to get himself killed as reckless as he is). Yes, he inflated his medals, but he had to be over there to be able to inflate his record. It will matter to those that are already against him, but not people on the fence.

Possibly contrasting his war record with his anti-war rhetoric when he got home may have a slight impact. Letting everyone know he admitted to committing war crimes, will help. But then again it may back up the notion he's willing to do what it takes to win the war on terror.

Our best bet is to let this book come out, but don't flaunt it. Focus on his senate voting record. His liberal policies and his lack of leading anything in the past 30 years.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact Kerry makes the issue his calling card. This is a central issue to who and what Kerry is all about. It matters.

I suppose....but in a sense, I fall into that category of people who actually envision kerry with a gun shooting helpless animals left in an abandoned village just for the fun of it. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT? Were these animals a mortal threat to this freak? It makes me sick. And it must have made those men who watched him do this sick, as well.

This is such a character issue-I thank GOD the village was abandoned. Kerry seems unbalanced and unable to hold steady to anything in his life except ambition, and in his case, a creepily exaggerated sense of self-importance and destiny.

I believe Teh-ray-Zaaaa knows exactly what she has married. No wonder she is floundering so weirdly-defending the indefensible is wearing.

Just consider the men and women who drown ( reputation wise ) as they attempted to defend billy klinton while he was commander of his own swift boat-the United States of America.
