Great points. I just saw O'Neil on Foxnews with Tony Snow. This guy is much more credible than I orginally gave him credit for. I personally thought he was just some pawn dug up somewhere for the campaign's purposes. He still might be, but after watching him on TV and learning that he has given MORE money to Dems than to Republicans, I'm very convinced with this guy.
He is not a pawn..He did not come out during the primary because he was busy giving his wife one of his kidneys..
he is not - he's was fighting Kerry 30 years ago and put everything away when the war was over. With Kerry trying to become POTUS he and the other honorable swiftvets stepped forward.

O'Neill is not connected with the campaign in any way. He debated Kerry in 1971 on the Dick Cavett show over Kerry's "war crime accusations".
I suggest you go to C-Span and stream the video. You might want to also watch Kerry's testimony to Congress in 1971.
One other thing, O'Neill voted for Perot twice. He is an independent.
O'Neill is from Houston. An attorney I know is friends with him. O'Neill has kept out of politics for decades. In the past various groups have asked him to get involved against Kerry in Kerry's other political campaigns. O'Neill refused. The only time O'Neill has been real political was when he debated Kerry on Dick Cavett decades ago. Where he cleaned Kerry's clock in my opinion.
Some months ago O'Neill was in the hospital donating a kidney to his wife. As he was recovering in the hospital O'Neill looked up at the TV and discovered how close Kerry was to the presidency. O'Neill, a man who doesn't have to get involved in all of this decided to because he was appalled that Kerry could be elected CIC. O'Neill knew Kerry and others would come down on him like a ton of bricks. But O'Neill bravely stepped forward like a lot of other Vietnam Vets did.
O'Neill's book is supposedly written as one with O'Neill's talents as a lawyer would write something for litigation. Facts facts facts. And O'Neill is not taking any money from the book sales.
John O'Neill was the real deal decades ago and he is the real deal today. John Kerry was a liar and did a great deal of damage to the people that served in Vietnam. He is still a liar and also a fool for picking open the scab that's on the wound of Vietnam. A wound John Kerry basically created all by himself when he lied to the to Congress. And called good men baby killers and such garbage.
But you know what? John Kerry has done one good thing recently. He has given men like John O'Neill the opportunity to clear their names of the scarlet letter John Kerry branded them with 30 years ago. And by G-d I hope the Vietnam Vets in this county who Kerry trashed get their sweet revenge for what Kerry did.
John F. Kerry for president? What a sick joke!
I have seen O'Neill's name mentioned in the Houston paper as an enviromental lawyer. It is ALWAYS in connection with enviromental issues. I figured him to be a raving lib but I am coming around to see him as a very principled guy. If he says he voted for Gore, I believe him but thought he was smarter than a Perot supporter. (Sorry folks thats the way I see it.)

Your post sounds to me like a back door orleft handed attempt to malaign Mr. O'Neill.
Nonsense. O'Neill has been on Kerry's ass for the last 30 years about his phony war record and his treasonous anti-war activities thereafter.
