"Was he lying then or is he lying now?"

Does it make any difference? A lie is a lie no matter when it was said.

"Kerry entered and abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter."

He smoked?

Kerry has never persuasively explained why he deserves so much credit for fighting in a war he said was utterly discreditable.

Absolutely true.

Hey, you know that liberals think that smoking is worse than "atrocities."

America doesn't need to have the Vietnam war fought all over again. Kerry should have left it alone, but no. He had to keep picking the scab.

Agreed. The Vietnam war is his only issue to run on.

No one's mentioned it, but Bill O'Reilly is upset that the Swift Boat Vets against Kerry have decided to put their money and reputation where their mouth is and run ads about Kerry's true War Zero status.

Bill's main complaint is that these guys haven't been "vetted" and come on his show to talk about Kerry. But I've yet to hear O'Reilly complain that Kerry is using his "service" as a cornerstone of his own campaign when he's on the record of discrediting his own and those of the vets he served with.

"Oh, I'm suspicious of the timing," I heard a caller to Savage say today. "Why didn't these guys bring this up before.

It HAS been brought up before. And his start in politics wasn't based on being a war hero. (Though he's tried to cultivate that after seeing the writing on the wall.) I imagine that 90 days before this election, those ads will have to be pulled (I don't know) but now is the about the best and only time we'll hear ALL the truth about Kerry before it's too late.

I can understand why the Bush campaign doesn't wish to affiliate itself with a private attack on Kerry, but his campaign came out to chastise the vets for their put-up-or-shut-up call. Dems hammer Bush all the time about his military service, despite the facts and open records, but Kerry's service is off-limits.

Somebody give me a clue, please. I see the Dems framing yet another issue while we go grudgingly along with it.

Kerry has more to worry about than just losing the presidency. Imagine what Ter-rez-zah is saying to him about now. He's been doing the whole war hero bit with her since they've been married. Remember the comment she made about his nightmares? Imagine her listening to that ad, or reading about the book. He's in BIG trouble because if it turns out that 250 of his fellow swiftboat vets are saying he's no hero she's going to be really, really humiliated in front of everyone.

Consider this. What is on one's mind arriving in a new environment, a new culture, meeting the locals, seeing firsthand the way they live. You've been in-country only a short time, away from the real world of your youth; school, college, bootcamp and OCS training in the Navy. Some shipboard time. And after your short time in a foreign environment, you torch a local village. Honi soit qui mal y pense! ???

There are a lot of vets online here, Chief, and I'm perplexed (not confused) at some of their comments. Many are overboard regarding the mission that was & and still is of the US military. I suspect some are bogus. Politics is infectious. Kerry's mission goals were clear; to protect avenues of commerce and defend against insurgence; to engage insurgence. As a Guardsman, you know this by heart. My duties were a horse of a different color. But not disconnected from yours or from all who served & continue to serve. Kerry missed that mission point BIGTIME and has ever since.

Need some piloting, Guardsman. Regards.

Ter-rez-zah didn't know a bowl of chili. She will automatically believe her husband instead of 250 honest American men.
