This shows once again that Kerry turned in a phony report.

you read the article! ;)

The fact the DemoncRATs are out right away with this, as it comes out, with their spin, demonstrates this is an orchestrated fiasco between the Kerry campaign and their supporters at the Washington Post!

I think you're right. Kerry wrote up the after action reports and most likely the citations as well. Like I said earlier, O'Neill will provide the media with an effective response asap. If this article is all the left has on the Swifties, I'd say it's mighty slim pickings.

"According to Kerry and members of his crew, the firing continued as an injured Kerry leaned over the bow of his ship to rescue a Special Forces officer who was blown overboard in a second explosion"

First reference I've seen to a second explosion.

"For much of the episode, Kerry was not in a position to know firsthand what was happening on Thurlow's boat, as Kerry's boat had sped down the river after the mine exploded under another boat. He later returned to provide assistance to the stricken boat."

No mention in this article that Kerry's boat was the only one to leave the area, no mention that the others stayed put, to render assistance to the damaged boat. (No mention either that most likely Rassman was blown into the water by Kerry's quick acceleration, NOT that phantom second explosion.)

(And note how the reporter uses "the mine" (singular), indicating there was no second explosion.

That admission alone, corroborates the Swifties, and damns Kerry for leaving another boat in distress:

The article states Elliot "was unreachable" for comment. The article does not state Kerry's "brothers" aren't allowed to speak to the media without the permission of the Kerry campaign.
