Kerry says he was in Cambodia in Christmas of 1968. Do you believe him?
Some of the people who were with him say that they were 50+ miles from Cambodia, not in it.
I think Kerry made up the entire "Christmas in Cambodia" story, to suit his own political ambitions. It is a fairy tale, thru and thru.
Of course I don't believe him. Nixon hadn't even been sworn in as President and Kerry blamed him for it.
Please check your browser cache to see if you can recover that site address. The 'official' story (Larry King interview?) is that he was in the Capitol. If he's quoted saying otherwise, this could get interesting.
Kerry applied for a few of his own, and somehow the paper work wasn't checked.
Apparently, the last one was to make it 3 so they could get rid of him.
The charges must be having some effect because the best the Kerry campaign and their liberal press allies can come up with is, "Dirty Politics".
Seems the military was so glad to be rid of him they allowed the rest of his commitment to go unfulfilled.
Probably more significant is his association with the Kennedys. I don't know that his father was all that high up as a diplomat. The Kennedys, on the other hand, were royalty.
Anyone who has ever served knows what a powerful tool that is for any soldier.
"Hey, Hey, J eFing K... How many medals did you win today!"
Just felt like chanting....
Book him, Dano!
I have a question.
How do you pronounce your name? Starting with a hard "G" or like a "J"?
Sure sounds like the "hero" put up quite a fight to stay!! LOL! I bet he was already packed!
Anyone hear Imus b!tching this morning about how the Kerry/Edwards Raw Deal Express blew through his ranch for cancer kids without stopping or even slowing? Imus said they were having a bonfire of the Kerry/Edwards signs the little cancer stricken kids make!! I almost drove off the road! LOL!
Now Imus has a taste of how Democrats treat those that they have in their back pocket (like blacks and unions)!!

I read somewhere today that some of those guys only served with Kerry for about five weeks, and some only for a few days. I think it was in the Novak piece.
Novak made another very good point, i.e. that Kerry needs to respond to these allegations rather than attack the messengers. As was pointed out, one of these Swift Boat Vets is a retired Admiral and as a group they have an incredibly distinguished record. They deserve to be treated seriously.

Bo Dietl was hysterical on Imus. He kept asking "were the little children crying?". The guys were all laughing and the little children crying kept being talked about. I still say Imus is a mole for us.
You know, we now have two competing alternative stories of sKerry's Vietnam service. One is that he sea lawyered the system to win an early out of combat that he never wanted (he was volunteering to command a water taxi, but the USN changed the mission of the SWIFT boats right after he volunteered) by arranging to receive Purple Hearts for the slightest injuries (two of which were likely ineligible). The other is that sKerry was so incompetent that he was asked to leave after he got his third PH. How can these two stories be reconciled?
"motivation for Kerry to turn against the war in Veitnam"
That's what I'm thinking. He couldn't be a "war hero" so he would be an "anti-war hero". Kerry is more scary than I thought.
Unfortunately it wasn't Kerry in that story.
