Swift Retribution

How did we end up debating the Vietnam war again?

The anger and bitterness heightened by the Swift boat veterans' accusations against Presidential candidate John Kerry and the Democratic reflex to then attack President Bush demonstrates that some wounds don't heal.

So who pulled off the scab of this one? What is really making it bleed? And what does it have to do with the presidency?

Well, who pulled off the scab is pretty simple. Go back to when the topic first came up. It amounted to a one-two punch aimed at President Bush by Democratic Party leaders and supporters.

Anti-Bush filmmaker Michael Moore at a rally for Democratic candidate Wesley Clark back in January called Bush a "deserter" from his Air National Guard Service, and then Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe said that Bush was "AWOL."  

They instigated a media reinvestigation of Bush's service in the Guard. It was an easy target because it had been brought up in the 2000 campaign, and 30 year old records lead to all sorts of scattered memories. Nonetheless, the media took the line that Bush, despite his getting an honorable discharge, was obligated to prove his innocence. The fact his fellow guardsmen came to his defense hasn't stopped the Kerry campaign from continuing to try to make an issue of it, both on its web site and in attempting to contrast Kerry's and Bush's service.

Yup. They did that. I was there. Heard and saw it all. End of February through March, and ever after, the Dems have been hammering on President Bush about his service during those years. Payback is hell.

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66

Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris
on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

NEW:
“Without question,
we were held captive longer
because of the anti-war people,
the Kerrys, the Fondas and Haydens,
the names we knew over there -
they encouraged the enemy to hang on.”

"And as for what service in the Vietnam war has to do with being president, well, nothing."

hmmm So for this author it makes no difference that Kerry caused so much pain to so many for so long and finally ended it as he sat as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee for POW/MIA's which was a tragic event, like having the fox in the hen house. I guess for this author being a liar cad of the first order, makes no difference. Some people have no standards.
