[O'Neill with swift boat picture on screen behind him]That's all they need to say."Two weeks ago Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ran its first ad pointing out the inconsistencies in John Kerry's version of events when he served in Viet Nam. Kerry's spin machine immediately began to smear the personal integrity of these highly decorated veterans rather than address the specific questions we raised. Ironically, the Kerry campaign has now had to recant major portions of one of his claims, that he fought in Cambodia in 1968."

"Rather than make personal attacks on his fellow veterans, Kerry should simply release ALL his military records. The records listed here remain out of public view...Kerry has not released them. Those records will reveal who is telling the truth."

"Tell John Kerry it's time to release ALL his records...and let the public decide."
Send that to them in an email. That would make a fantastic ad! Bring that out right after the convention after this one has had a chance to soak in a little bit. Kerry might be suckered into it . . . and if not, you hammer him about hiding!
Here's my idea for an ad:
Just show them, one by one speaking to the camera, and have each one of them say:
"My name is XXX, and I served in John Kerry's unit in Vietnam. I have signed a Form 180 releasing all my military records to the media."
After about 10-15 of them, show a picture of John Kerry, and say, "John Kerry will NOT sign a form 180 to release all his miliary records. Why is he hiding his them?"
