Posted on 08/31/2004 1:27:02 PM PDT by slowhand520

Just listening to the Bob Grant show and Carl Limbacher from Newsmax was on and he just said there is an investigation underway with the US NAVY that Kerry might have tampered with his Silver Star citation. He also said Kerry will be forced to release all records.

I doubt the media wing of the Democratic Party would cover it in any event.

This would be great! -- but Judicial Watch's percentage of successes on their spectacular claims has been very low. In fact, I wonder if it is above zero, and if so, by how much.

The silver star story with the Navy has been out, I didnt know they were going to do a full out investigation and force him to expose his records.

Journalist Thomas Lipscomb, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times quoted a Navy spokesperson stating: “The Navy has never issued a ‘Combat V’ to anyone for a Silver Star.” Additionally, former Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted with respect to the Silver Star citation as saying: “It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the additional language it contains was not written by me.”

Oh my god....we have a winner!!!!!

Kerry said "BRING THEM ON"

Well John, looks like they accepted your challenge, are you ready for them?

Of course he tampered with the citation. The wording has changed three times.

Is it possible that things are playing out just as Hillary planned?

Right. And George Soros will switch his support to Bush.

There is a thread from a couple of days ago on the Lehman comment.

Kerry citation a 'total mystery' to ex-Navy chief (John Lehman)

The Navy Department should not have to force Kerry to release his records. They should have all of the documentation and correspondence associated with his SS, and it's many iterations, since he left the service.

Ya know, I would swear that Hillary is actually the Evil Emperor from Star Wars. But it can't be because I saw Darth Vader throw him down the power shaft with my own eyes!

Anyone else have a nagging feeling there's still some more cards to be played by Hillary's faction of the party before this is all over? Personally, I don't think she's willing to wait even 4 more years to worm her way back into the WH. No, she could never win as a prime candidate but could be a VP choice to "save the party & the children" in the event of an induced Kerry exit in disgrace.....it sounds ludicrous but not totally out of the question.
