O'Neill claimed he would talk eventually; it would seem he was right!

[coconutt2000]

O'Neill is just uncanny.

[Whispering Smith]

Two officers in a 14 foot boat doesn't make sense to me unless maybe it was an orientation trip for a new guy.

[MarkeyD]

So this is why the Kerry campaign backed away from this earlier this week.

Zing......this will leave a mark!

[cricket]

And now. . .damage control. . .keryteam alert et al.

. . .but can the media ignore this man?

[OldFriend]

This should put finis to Kerry's plans to go on TV sunday evening and insist that war crimes were committed and it's all Nixon's fault.

He and McAwfull are drowning in their lies and spin.

[RogueIsland]

I don't understand. The New York Times told me that all the charges against Kerry had been discredited.

[chudogg]

Why did he fire the m-79? Just for the hell of it or an accidental discharge?

[MadelineZapeezda]

This is exactly what Duke Cunningham told Roger today on Rush's show.

Battleship Kerry Explodes!

[puroresu]

You know, I love it when someone who has been wronged gets revenge. And when it takes a long time to get that revenge, it's all the sweeter!

These brave fighting men had to sit silently for over 30 years and take abuse because of what anti-war activists like John Kerry did to them. They had to sit in prison camps and listen to Kerry's arrogant, pristine voice reciting allegations of war crimes against them. They had to come home and be spat upon and insulted, while Kerry pranced around in upscale political circles. They had to turn on the TV and see vets such as themselves portrayed and psychotic, drunken losers, while Kerry, who helped create that image, used his anti-war fame to gain election to high office. They had to work for a living, often with painful physical trauma from their war experience, while Kerry married rich heiresses who took care of his financial needs.

Then, after all those years, Kerry launched a campaign for the presidency, and had the audacity to bill himself as a Vietnam war hero, a "leader of a band of brothers". Those vets he had abused for decades finally had enough. They fired back and they've scored a direct hit.

God bless those veterans! They served their country 35 years ago, and they're still serving it today.

[Freemyland]

Is this the surprise referred to in the Kerry Spot on NRO this a.m.?

[river rat]

Just my opinion.....but..

It's beginning to look like the Swift Boat Veterans for TRUTH - have set "the perfect ambush"...

The "target" Veterans showed themselves as weak bait......Kerry continued to lie, the "target" shouted out and fired a few rounds......Kerry charged in to finish them....

Then, the "target" became the hunter -- and Kerry is already too far into the ambush - taking fire from all compass points and can't fight his way through....He is now pinned down in his undefensable position with his lies..

They will finish Kerry on their own schedule and by their own means...
Revenge is a dish best served cold and in large quantity..

I will admit to loving these old men...I've never met them, but I now regard them as my own blood brothers...
I'm confident that our brothers that can no longer speak for themselves, to recover their reputations and honor -- approve of these brave Swift Boat Veterans....

May God give them the strength and truth to succeed..

"When I called O'Neill, he told me Schachte was sure he was aboard the whaler and would speak out later."

Novak, August 16th column

Whites of their Eyes Alert!

[Edit35]

Ha. Wait till blowhard Wiffleball host Crispy Matthews hears this.

After what he did to Michelle Malkin, Crispy boy should be made to get down and kill her toes while asking for forgiveness.

[Pete]

This must be what Novak knew when he was being cryptic on "Capital Gang" this past weekend.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Kerry Kampaign response:

"Glub, glub, glub!"

[Petronski]

This will be tomorrow's big story and will ruin Kerry's weekend.

Will the Washington Post take back this
WaPo Tuesday August 24, 2004 When we first wrote about the ads slamming Democratic nominee John F. Kerry's service in Vietnam, we said that Mr. Kerry's emphasis on his Vietnam experience had made questions about his war record fair game. But we said that ads by the group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth had crossed the line in smearing the service that earned Mr. Kerry three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star. Nothing we've seen in the two weeks since has changed that view.

In light of this
Adm. Schachte disputes Kerry's 1st Purple Heart claim in new Novak column I'm told that now coming across the newswires is a new column from Bob Novak that contains extensive quotes from Retired Rear Adm. William L. Schachte Jr. Schachte, call-sign "Batman," has broken his press silence to insist that he was indeed aboard the Boston Whaler or "skimmer" in the early morning mission on December 2, 1968, out of which Sen. John Kerry's first Purple Heart was awarded. Schachte maintains that Kerry's minor arm wound was not sustained while under enemy fire, but was indeed the result of Kerry — code-named "Robin" on this mission — being careless in firing an M-79 grenade launcher. Other officers are quoted to support the likelihood of Schachte's presence.

Hey WaPo - The truth is not a smear!!!!!!!!!!
