They don't say it because the Bush team WANTS this to bubble all the way to the election. As long as the media is talking---however indirectly---about Vietnam, 1972---it all reflects back on the fact that Kerry HAS NO CURRENT MESSAGE.

Joe sixpack says, "Why doesn't that Kerry guy talk about something besides Vietnam or these memos?" He may not be smart enought to go through the steps to follow Kerry's "Vietnam-is-how-I-would-deal-with-Iraq/WOT" logic, but intuitively, which is how many Americans vote he senses this.

Kerry And The Killing***....In an exclusive, The Point has obtained this document from U.S. Navy archives (you can see it here). The pertinent section reads:

"PCF 94 beached in center of ambush in front of small path when Viet Cong sprung up from bunker 10 feet from unit. Man ran with weapon towards hootch. Forward M-60 machine gunner wounded man in leg. Officer-in-charge, LTjg Kerry, jumped ashore and gave pursuit while other units saturated area with fire and beached placing assault parties ashore. Kerry chased VC inland behind hootch and shot him while he fled -- capturing one B-40 rocket launcher with round in chamber."

So there you have it. The official record written by John Kerry supports what the critics have alleged rather than the John Wayne Kerry version the Massachusetts liberal has been telling....***
