The Swift Vets have been very blessed with wisdom in the timing and method in how they have handled all of this.
For instance, they first came up with the medals ad that drew Kerry and the media into a defense of "righteous indignation". And once they had them "engaged" on a battlefield of their own chosing, the SwiftVets slammed them hard with the '71 testimony and POW's.
I strongly suspect that great sense of timing will continue as they expose Kerry totally while he is in the limelight.
But you do get that Kerry scored points. They will clearly argue to the media , and with more justification, that the AL thinks Kerry is kosher and that only a group of fringe Viet, GOP funded vets have a beef with Lurch?
