If any FReepers want a copy of the actual article for their own personal use, send me an e-mail. We can only excerpt with the Globe, so I can't post the complete article.

I think the word needs to get out about how much of an opportunist Kerry is. What guy would reenact his own exploits and brag about it? He is dillusional.

[BonnieJ]

Does he mention WHY he re-enacted these scenes, esp. while he was still there? Those have to be the busiest 4 months in history, for a single man to have experienced! If we are to believe all the stories, medals, secret agent trips, etc, he puts James Bond and Forrest Gump to shame!

[Adrastus]

Dillusional? Sir, you are being charitable.

[CyberAnt]

Soooooo .. this is why the Globe is silent .. they were hoping nobody would find that story from 1996.

Or .. they think we're stupid .. or both ..??

[SunkenCiv]

Kerry is a liar.

[NavySEAL F-16]

Send this to Michael Dobbs at Washington Post. He needs all the research help he can get.

[COEXERJ145]

Need to send it out to Rush, Hannity, etc. The media otherwise will never report it.

[ProudVet77]

"while a member of PT-93 on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam"
I suspect he meant PT-73.
If the author is accurate, JFKjr is a nut job. He served on PT-93? That's close enough to PCF-94.
The assumption is that we are all dumb and we can't communicate ideas.
Kerry's political corpse will rot in the fall.
And his wife will leave him by Jan 1.

[Exit148]

Why did he do it? To pass it off as the real thing? To use it like a scrapbook? Just to record his 'heroics' for posterity?

[Atchafalaya]

He's also delusional.

[ScaniaBoy]

Excellent!

I have been touting this in a number of posts.

It was when I read it the first time that I got really, really scared. This man, Kerry, has not got it all - delusional, personality disorder, whatever - but definitely not a person who should be given the power that comes with the office of POTUS.

Please, send the article to every radio host and newspaper you can think of. This part of Kerry's life should be out there....

" That's me right there. One of my crew was filming all this," Kerry gleefully told the paper. "

Kerry better get ahold of Del Sandusky, his main swift boat character witness , so they can get their stories straight.

"The Big Story With John Gibson," July 30, 2004

SANDUSKY: ... I was with John Kerry. We never had time to shoot movies or do any staging for any political reason or any other use than just a home movie.

[Riley]

With every passing week, I am increasingly convinced that Kerry's whole stint in the Navy was expressly intended as nothing more than decoration for his political résumé.

[Mike Darancette]

In it, Kerry admitted that he had used a video camera while in combat

Video Camera? Must have been expensive in 1968!

[TBP]

Bump this for the morning.

Being in combat is a very truamatic experience. Most vets I know, including my Father, usually don't want to talk about it. They don't want to relive the horrors of seeing their comrades dying in front of them. They certainly would not go to the trouble of reanacting them on film. Everything Kerry says and does is bu----it.

[ApplegateRanch]

The $64,000 dollar question was answered correctly!

That means, we move up to the NEXT PLATEAU!

WHO PAID FOR THE USE OF THE (Navy's) BOAT AND CREW WHILE FILMING???

And the follow up:

WHO AUTHORIZED USING THE (Navy's) BOAT AND CREW?

And a third and final, for the money:

WERE YOUR MEN UNDER YOUR ORDERS TO PARTICPATE?

[GretchenM]

I'm just finishing Ulysses Grant: Personal Memoirs, which has prompted me to look online for Civil War photos. Look at these Federal Scouts and Guides, Army of the Potomac - Brandy Station, VA, March 1864, and then picture Kerry with his comrades, his Band of Brothers (the non-Swift Vets for Truth kind), and see if you can detect a difference.

This was taken 11 months before the end of the Civil War, after three years of hard, hard fighting.

Creepy.

But Manchurian Candidates always follow the script.
