I'd like you to meet a man who I met in the jungles of Vietnam who was always by my side, and he is going to tell you the truth. His name is Charley and he's going to handle the rest of this Press Conference...

Fox will cover the speech live...one key question..will Kerry take questions from the press. Will he be asked to release his contemporaneous diaries? Will he be asked to release his complete military records? Will he attempt to mitigate his hideous testimony to the Senate accusing Americans of War crimes?..Will he say he was wrong about being in Cambodia?
It' like the Olympics....Kerry v. SVB..is like France v. USD in women's softball..no contest..a shutout..
Liberal= dissent will not be tolerated
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.....

But, more importantly, the entry in Kerry's own journal, written 9 days later, where he writes that he and his crew, "hadn't been shot at yet."
"hadn't been shot at yet."
That is the smoking gun.
The Purple Heart requirements allows the award of a Purple Heart for self inflicted wounds.......but only those self-inflicted wounds were received "in the heat of battle".
How could Kerry possibly have been "in the heat of battle" while never having been "shot at yet"?
*********************************
5) Examples of injuries or wounds which clearly do not qualify for award of the Purple Heart are as follows:
(a) Frostbite or trench foot injuries.
(b) Heat stroke.
(c) Food poisoning not caused by enemy agents.
(d) Chemical, biological, or nuclear agents not released by the enemy.
(e) Battle fatigue.
(f) Disease not directly caused by enemy agents.
(g) Accidents, to include explosive, aircraft, vehicular, and other accidental wounding not related to or caused by enemy action.
(h) Self-inflicted wounds, except when in the heat of battle, and not involving gross negligence.
needs repeating
PLEASE SOMEONE DO A PLAY-BY-PLAY FOR THE OFFICE-BOUND!!!
If you're around....can you post running commentary for the cubicle bound..I cannot type that fast..
Is there a link to the broadcast online?
yes
What bombshell on Bush? Is Terayza going to sue him?
Kerry thinks running late show just how like Clinton and JFK he is, as though that's a good thing.
Kerry's MO is:
1. Frontal Assault
2. Claim mistreatment
My prediction:
1. Kerry will agree to the President's terms in order to put the pres on the spot to make an official condemnation of SwiftVets. (Kerry will tell all 527's supporting him to cease and desist which they will not do.)
2. He will then play the mistreated party and wrap himself in the mantle of no negative campaigning....all the while insinuating that the President does support this practice.
Thanks to FReeper gorio for the thread on where the links were!

"Phony Vietnam veterans alleged in books
Guenter Lewy's 1978 book America in Vietnam (pages 316-317) and B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley's Stolen Valor (Verity Press, Inc., Dallas, Texas)(pages 113, 131-137) contain similar information about alleged flaws in Lane's book. Neither book, however, refutes any of the testimony given during the Winter Soldier Investigation.
Lawyer and leftist activist Mark Lane was one of the organizers of Winter Soldier. In 1970, Lane had published a book called Conversations With Americans purporting to be interviews with Vietnam veterans about war crimes, containing Vietnam tales of atrocities. Reporter Neil Sheehan showed some interviewed in Lane's book had never served in Vietnam and others had not been in the situations they described. Lane admitted he did not check military records, as confirmation of details was not relevant. Lane later confirmed these militarty records.
The following are often falsely listed as being participants in Winter Soldier, but were actually in Lane's book instead. This confusion is probably due to Stolen Valor having an explanation of Lane's history within the section on Winter Soldier.
Chuck Onan, stock room clerk in Beaufort, S.C.
Michael Schneider, deserted in Europe and deserted again in the USA.
Terry Whitmore, was in an unpopulated area of Vietnam.
Garry Gianninoto, medical corpsman at battalion headquarters.
VVAW leader and Winter Soldier co-organizer Al Hubbard lied about being an officer, and sustaining war injuries - but he never testified at Winter Soldier .
According to the investigative work of Burkett, Lewy and others, there were many imposters, liars, and plain nutjobs who infiltrated the ranks of the anti-war movement, and, in some cases, testified to war crimes and atrocities that never occurred in order to get attention, sympathy, and, in one documented case, medals and honors."

He uses man servants to flush and retrieve his birds just like the rest of us.......
For child support...?
McCain had best step up to the plate and tell Kerry he DOES NOT want his image used in that commercial.
Up until now I've given McCain somewhat of a pass because it is clear when you see him in person off camera that he is a damaged person from his years in captivity.
But to allow Kerry to use his image and mis-state what really happened between McCain and Bush in 2000 is an outrage.
I got Kerry starting 12 minutes late today.
Don't know..perhaps someone else can look..I have to take this phone call..darn it..
Just saw headline on Drudge with siren.
