Let's separate all the fly sh!t from the pepper for the LEFTIES. I am sure they appreciate it.

NOT!

Of course, we could just ignore the errors and wait for the kerry campaign to send out a spokesman:

Ladies and gentlemen of the press:
Just look at the blatant errors in this book. For example, it shows the Gridley being in Vietnam in November and December of 1967. We have the logs from the ship and sworn statements from dozens of crew members. The ship didn't depart its home port of Long Beach for Vietnam until months later. How can any book with such a glaring misrepresentation of the truth be trusted in any of its claims? This book is a poorly-researched, vindictive sham and it cannot be trusted in any of its claims. The publisher should be ashamed to have published it.

Next day's NYT headline: SWIFT BOAT VETS LIED

Would you really prefer it to happen this way?

Bob, obviously you don't have much experience wit the US Navy and deployments of ships.

The ship doesn't just sit at its home port FOREVER and only make one cruise.

It made a WESTPAC cruise in 1967, then returned to Long Beach, where it underwent maintenance and crew training, etc, then made a ANOTHER WESTPAC cruise!

Before you PANIC, get your facts straight.
