August 19, 2004 -- Posted Swift Veteran statements in response to today's Washington Post article by Michael Dobbs, Records Counter a Critic of Kerry. Dobbs attempts to make a case that there was enemy small-arms fire during the Rassmann incident for which John Kerry obtained a Bronze Star, based on the writeup for Larry Thurlow's own Bronze Star. But who wrote the action report for the event? And why no bullet holes in any of the boats?

Swift vets respond to today's attempt by the Washington Post to patch up John Kerry's leaking credibility.

Funny how the comPost has *no* interest in looking into Kerry's record, but finds investigating the Swiftees is their number one activity right now.
[sarcasm]Why, it is almost as if they are trying to help Kerry. [/sarcasm]

Democrats think these guys are going to fold and wither. They're wrong. These guys are actual warriors, not Purple Heart Hunting phonies like Flippy. They're smart, professional, upstanding guys who spent a lot of time living down the lies Kerry told in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in '71. They're used to defending themselves against his baseless attacks.

In the Marine Corps, all units have what is called the "UNIT DIARY" which is the official daily record of all that occurs in that company.
WHY has nobody asked for the Navy's version of that same document? It is not Kerry's to agree to release or not, it is a publically available document, property of the U.S. Navy.
It also shows all enemy contacts, casualty reports, and deployements. It would close many arguments and the fact that this is not public yet has me wondering who is yanking whose chain here???

Yes, the information about no bullet holes on the SwiftBoats and nobody else getting shot is crucial.

I never thought I would live to see the day the major media would cease to be the gatekeepers of the news. Unbelievable.
Thank god for the Internet. Hallelujah baby.

The most telling statement today came from John O'niell on the Sean Hannity show -- "You had 5 boats on a river 75 feet wide, supposedly under enemy fire and no boat had a bullet hole."

From Thurlow's statement: "After the mine exploded, leaving swift boat three dead in the water, John Kerry’s boat, which was on the opposite side of the river, fled the scene. US Army Special Forces officer Jim Rassmann, who was on Kerry’s boat at the time, fell off the boat and into the water. Kerry’s boat returned several minutes later—under no hail of enemy gunfire—to retrieve Rassmann from the river only seconds before another boat was going to pick him up.Has anyone ever asked Rassman why he fell into the river to begin with? I suspect he fell overboard as Kerry poured on the power to flee the scene.

When Kerry loses big on Nov 2 I can see him and Clumsy Cleland whining - "They questioned our patriotism!"
Keep crying into your beers, boys.

Rassman was eating a cookie on the back of the boat and fell off when Kerry fled the scene after #3 hit the mine.
