from washington post:

"In some ways, it was a day like any other. The previous day, Kerry had taken part in a Swift boat expedition that had come under fire, and several windows of Kerry's boat were blown out. A friend, Lt. j.g. William B. Rood, almost lost an eye in the ambush. [Now an editor with the Chicago Tribune, Rood yesterday broke three decades of public silence to support Kerry's version of how he won the Silver Star on Feb. 28. Rood has no firsthand knowledge of the Bronze Star incident.] "

Rood isn't writing about the bronze star incident he's writing about the silver star incident.

Some people need to do a little research, if we as people concerned about getting the truth out against the lies of the media and the sKerry campaign. Then we need to know the truth or at least a proper understanding of the cronological order of these incidents.

Rood isn't writing about the bronze star incident; however, this excerpt does reveal one of the flaws in Kerry's story of the Mar 13th (bronze star incident).

The above combat happened on Mar 12th, the day before the infamous day that Kerry ran the gunfire gaunlet to pull Rassman from the water. As proof of the gunfire on the 13th he has posted a report of the boat damage. The problem is the damage on the report happened on the 12th according to Kerry's own book "Tour of Duty" and many other interviews.

So the adoring press points to the damage report as proof the Swiftvets are lying and ignore the FACT that Kerry's own book states that damage happened on Mar 12th and not on Mar 13th.
