"wouldn't that be ironic after all these libs claimed Bush was AWOL that it was really sKerry who was AWOL?"
No, not ironic - calculated.
Accusing Bush of being AWOL was INSURANCE against the same charge against Kerry. Fortunately, it did not work, due to the fake memo scam.

Notice how kerry looked in the debate last night? Several comments: “It’s two hours after the event. I don’t remember many specifics. I do remember that Bush was personable, upbeat, human and articulate (he seemed to have gained about 20 IQ points since debate #1) while Kerry was near-funereal. He even looked like a mortician. Where’s the Man Tan when you need it?”--Kaus or “Bush was confident, Kerry looked exhausted. Did he spend the day visiting hurricane victims or something? Hasn’t he been off the trail for like, 72 hours? What, was he up late watching Edwards on Jay Leno?”--Geraghty
He knows that what the vets in "stolen honor" are going to say; and perhaps has an understanding of possible questions they are going to going to ask rhetorically. He is worried. And he should be.
