Retired Gen. Tommy Franks' command of The New York Times best-seller list will be brief, because of the intense interest in what some other veterans have to say.
After two weeks at No. 1, Franks' "American Soldier" will drop to no. 2 on the list to be published Sept. 5, when "Unfit for Command," the account of the Swift boat vets against John Kerry, takes the top slot.
The book's rise is remarkable since the Sept. 5 list is based on sales last week, when copies were unavailable in many stores.
Demand had depleted Regnery Publishing's initial printing of 85,000 copies. It'll have 650,000 in print by next week.
Passions over the book have run so high-pro and con-that Amazon.com, where it's ranked No.1 for days, has loosened its policy on post-your-own reviews.
In line with 'presidential election year politics," Amazon says it'll allow personal attacks as long as they're no obscene.
A total of 1,151 customer reviews of "Unfit" were posted as of yesterday afternoon - an extraordinary total.
Just got my TWO copies, one for a good American and a good friend. It will be interesting to see how long it holds the number one spot. It should -- maybe America is finally waking up to the realities of the left.
How great is this.
I've already put my local library on notice.
The home of the "American Revolution", Concord and Lexington haven't orderer it either.

1 of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry
Excellent. I bought three copies. I will finish my copy later today. I am circulating all three copies. "After you finish the book please give it back to me, I have someone else who wants to read it." I'm hoping these three copies will be read by at least 10 people.
I believe Brian Lamb mentioned on C-SPAN this morning that UFC was #1 on the WSJ bestseller list.
And the more Kerry whines about it, the beter it sells.
I ordered my copy from amazon.com on August 19. Estimated date of shipment was supposed to have been August 23, and estimated arrival between August 26 and August 30. I was notified the other day that it will not be shipped until the end of next month. I was asked if I wanted to cancel my order or keep it. I decided to keep it. I guess I should have ordered it sooner
bump TO SUPPORT THE NEW SWIFT VETS AD AND GEORGE BUSH... http://swift2.he.net/~swift2/gardner2.mpg
do you think i should cancel my order and look for it local?
NO, I will just let the amazon.com order go thru
#1 on the NYTimes list, despite their very best efforts as "gatekeepers" of worthy and unworthy news?
Some get some Pepto-bismal for the Times editors. I'm sure they are doing the dance in the boardroom.
I haven't read it yet, but I believe that this is our answer to Farenheit 9/11. All that hate, all that agitprop, all that boxoffice, and even the adulation of the Cannes Film Festival could not do for Moore what John O'Neill and 250 aging Swift Boat veterans did with $250,000.00
The liberals have spent over a hundred million dollars trying to defame one man. The Swifties spent less than a million.
When you have truth on your side, that makes all the difference.
Be Seeing You,

I have tried to locate it local but haven't had no luck either so far. Yesterday I did a online search on line for our Border store. The site for our local store said it was available, but when I called them, they said they did not have it in stock. If I find it local I will get it, and if not then I will wait for my copy from Amazon.com
OUTSTANDING! If Regnery's first printing had been larger, I'm confident Unfit would have been #1 this week. May the beat go on!
Didn't George Bush write that book?
I don't trust any of the book sellers on this one. They take the order, but then the promised delivery date keeps getting extended.
I'm going to wait until I actually see a copy.
