FOX News: Kerry Campaign Admits SBVT May Be Right?
FOX News ^ | August 23, 2004 | FOX News

Posted on 08/24/2004 1:40:58 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

FOX News reported this today:

And questions keep coming. For example, Kerry recieved a Purple Heart for wounds suffered on December 2, 1968. But in Kerry's own journal, written 9 days later, he writes he and his crew, "hadn't been shot at yet." Kerry's campaign has said it is possible his first Purple Heart was awarded for unintentionally self-inflicted wounds.

Sounds like some sort of admission to me.

I think the distinction is destroying enemy assets in the heat of battle. Kerry's journal admits that the rice bin destruction wasn't done under enemy fire.

Dole was injured MORE THAN ONCE! The german machine gun fir is what almost killed him and destroted his arm. While he was trying to save his radio operator. Dole is a hero and was in the 10th Mtn. Div.

That is why I am beginning to think this thing should really have started in late SEPTEMBER, not late JULY!!!

Rush said yesterday after O'Neill was on his show (for one hour) that what we have seen from the Swifties so far is nothing compared to what's on tap for October!

All your dreams will come true!

It, uh, opens the can of worms in that it then makes even the media ask "what about the rest of the things the swifties are saying".

It's only about war and everybody lies about (sex) war. Can't we just move on?

I'll have to look that up.

Doesn't really matter much to me, though. The first PH fraud kind of seals the deal for me.

If he has lied and claimed his first one was for combat wounds, that is important.

The rice wound in the left buttocks( on the last PH) was attributed to a mine as recorded in the injury report. Only Effing himself would have reported the source of the injury. He lied.

The only statements I have seen of this "shrapnel" were from the Boston Globe's Kranish (Kerry's Biggest Fan) and the personal doctor Kerry had examine him during this political race.

No documentation offered to prove it, of course, and it would be very easy for Kerry to offer an x-ray.

Why would John Kerry focus his presidential run on being in Vietnam, lying about being a war hero, lying about being in Cambodia, when these things could be checked out and his lies exposed?
Possibilities... 1) that he thought this would counteract the impression that he would be anti-US, as he was during his VVAW days; 2) that his four months of "service" in Vietnam would contrast with GWB's guard service; 3) that the libels against GWB regarding his supposed AWOL would stick (they haven't); and 4) John Kerry is just plain stupid, or regards everyone else as gullible, easily misled sheep ripe for shearing.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

methinks that "plink" sound you hear, is the sound of another strand in Kerry's story coming undone.

There are probably a couple of other possibilities and all of them are probably right to a degree. Since each is a little right and there are people that will by one or more, it's just a calculated shotgun blast at voters.

Thanks but someone else mentioned the MRI question... I just put the article and medical reference together :-)

And, yes, that's why I thought it was important. It also shows clearly what a grandstanding moron this "hero" is without any he-said-she-said debates.

Doesn't matter... the MRI not only targets the whole body, it targets the whole room and turns any metal object into a projectile. Last year a 6-year old was killed during an MRI because a technician left an unsecured oxygen tank in the room.

If you have ferromagnetic metal anyplace in your body and you have an MRI, that metal will try to move. This can be very, very dangerous. People with ferromagnetic material in their bodies are not even allowed in the same room with a working MRI machine.

Speaking in generalities, if there are four or five major Kerry statements or boasts, and one or two are proven false, it casts doubt on all of them in the public perception.

I'm lapping all this up with a ladle. Yum, yum.
