So what's the truth? Are we destined for an unresolvable "Rashomon"-like saga of memories and counter-memories? Probably.

Oh, man, apparently. As long as the Jim Pinkertons of the world are evaluating things. Jesus Christ! What is wrong with people? Does Pinkerton not understand that the testimony breaks at about 19 to one? And yet Pink is unable to decide what the truth is??? Kerry's subordinates clearly don't count. Only his peers -- i.e., the folks at swiftvets.com -- are qualified to judge him as a swiftboat commander. And they are almost universally disgusted with him as a man and a commander.

But Kerry's detractors, organized into "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," are mostly credible, too. They have scars, medals and a lot of anger...

My brother really hopes that this exposes Kerry as a liar and a fraud, but I think it will follow a pattern of so many other Democrat scandals that were undeniably true--first it's thrashed out, then denied by the candidate, then becomes old news. But if Kerry keeps bragging about Vietnam, this story will keep popping up against him.

That might be the best we can hope for and expect. Kerry will quietly drop this major talking point of his and have to find something fresh to talk about. I think that the MSM is giving him a "pass" and a veiled warning to start talking about something relevant to our current situation.
