Authentic or not, Bush memos no big deal to retired guardsmen
U.S. Servicemen React to Bush Guard Memos (spreading the lie)
Allegations of suspect conduct during the Vietnam war also have been leveled at John Kerry, who won three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star in Vietnam.
A group sponsoring television ads challenging his wartime record contends Kerry's own gunfire caused the wound that brought his first Purple Heart. Navy records and other veterans do not support the charge.
Ahmad Majied of Albany (GA) says the latest allegations about Bush's military record are more troubling to him than allegations about service honors leveled at Democratic challenger Kerry.
Majied, a Democrat from Albany who served 30 years in the Navy, including five years as a SEAL in Vietnam, said the memos support his belief that Bush was a "playboy" during his service years.
"He had enough money to get what he wanted," Majied said. "I think his main concern was not to go to Southeast Asia. I bet he never dreamed it would come back to haunt him."

NOT A SEAL
Thanks for checking with us - we greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. If the name you provided was "spelled accurately", we do NOT have a listing for anyone named "Majied" in our entire database of slightly more than 10,000 names. Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a full legal name change since his claimed service with the SEAL Teams, I can state conclusively that the man NEVER completed SEAL training, and thus he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL. While there are other training steps that must be completed on the path to becoming a SEAL, BUD/S training is the first and most vital, and that training course is totally unclassified. Without having first completed BUD/S training, a man cannot go on to become a SEAL. There are definitely secret SEAL missions, but despite anything the man might have said, there are NO secret SEALs. If you choose to confront the man regarding his fraudulent SEAL claims, please show him this email message and invite him to contact me - a real SEAL - directly by email with information that will support his claims. I'd enjoy hearing his stories first hand, but I've extended this offer to literally thousands of individuals over the last three years, and in all that time I've received only a scant handful of replies, so I don't really expect to hear from him either.
Again, please visit our web page www.authentiseal.org/realitycheck.htm for some very specific information related to the realities of SEAL training, SEAL duties, and the claims most often made by SEAL imposters.
Thank you again for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams.
Respectfully, Gregory Platt

"It looks like Mr Majied was on the US Carrituck."
Here's a webpage that lists the command orders for the Vietnam carriers... Don't see mention of the USS Currituck there.

Good job.......
Drudge needs to ask something like....... "Back around the time that kerry was having his imaginary Christmas during his imaginary assignment to Cambodia, is this the imaginary SEAL that he took on the oh so scary imaginary mission, when kerry was given his imaginary magic hat?"
I watched a Charlie Rose interview with Ted Turner. None of it should have surprised me, but his dedication to usurping American sovereignty with the UN is singular in its focus and ambition. He really believes he can make a permanent mark on history by neutralizing American power. Furthermore, he attacked Christianity by arguing that all religions are equal in their contribution to human suffering. He conveniently ignores Nazism's and Communism's official agenda against traditional religion (except for Nazism's flirtation with Islam via the Mufti of Jerusalem). It's clear that Turner attempted to steer CNN in a direction of internationalism before he left it, and he was mostly successful. The clear basis of his beliefs is that all cultures are fundamentally the same.
Did you see this on CNN this morning?
PLEASE HELP
A tragic fire on Monday destroyed the personal library of Senator John Kerry.
Both of his books have been lost.
A spokesman said the Senator was devastated as he had not finished coloring the second one.
Send contributions to Senator Ted Kennedy % The Dew Drop Inn Tavern, Chappaquiddick, MA
Here you go!

the problem is the DNC tried to create an image of Kerry that didn't exist(brave warrior in the vein of JFK). Now that that image is being exposed for the fraud it is, Kerry's "supporters" are lashing out because they have nothing left to sell(cannot run on his pathetic Senate career). What they are not realizing is how desperate they look to the general public. I wonder if they(DNC, MSM) even care how they come across anymore.
I can't be persuaded that Hillary is surprised.
Great find! - Forward to FOX News and to AP - ask for a "retraction"!!!
>>Get this to Drudge ASAP...also to the other main bloggers.
Good idea
bump
Gregory Platt didn't have to go thru the trouble since it was so obivious the AP made the whole story was bogus and biased with the aim of continuing CBS' smear job against Bush. The media knows if they don't attack Bush anyway they can they will be pressured to address Kerry's fraudulent Vietnam record and they do not want to do that.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! That's good! :)
No SEAL in their right mind would take the chance of being put on the SEAL Wall of Shame. If he did have a name change, he'd go all the way back to BUD/S to make sure that he could never be put on that Wall.
He would have made sure to tell the AP that he had a name change, all SEALs are very aware of AuthentiSeal and the WALL OF SHAME.
So typical. Another fake veteran lying for Kerry.
I explained that I read a story from AP that quoted him. He acknowledged it right away. I said that I followed an internet discussion group that was questioning his membership in the Seals, that there was an organization that kept records of that kind of thing and that there was no record of his membership, and some speculated that he had a name change since them.
He said that he did have a name change since then, but was not willing to get involved. I tried to talk him into giving me his former name, but he was unwilling.
I asked specifically if he was a Seal and he said, “yes”. I asked if he went through Seal school, and his answer was in the affirmative, but vague. I mentioned that people were suggesting that he wasn’t a Seal, and brought up the “wall of shame” of people pretending to be Seals. He said, “I seriously doubt that I’ll be up on that.” He said he wasn’t worried about that.
He kept a good humor about him, but wanted to end the call. I mentioned that some people were saying that it was not possible to spend 5 years as a Seal in Vietnam. He said that he was misquoted there, that he did spend five years there, but not back to back. He said that “In fact, I spent more than five years total there”. I said, “but not all 5 years as a Seal?” He laughed and said, “No, not all 5 years.”
He said that he was a retired Master Chief Petty Officer.
He repeated several times that he didn’t want to get involved in this dispute “for obvious reasons”. And then he said, “I don’t know how I allowed myself to be quoted” or pulled into this by the guy that contacted him.
He really wanted out. I had to have mercy on him and let him go. I told him that because of the story others would call. He laughed and said he knows how to end a conversation. We said goodbye.
