WASHINGTON (AP) - Two groups of Vietnam veterans opposed to Sen. John Kerry once again have joined forces to run television ads against the Democratic .
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and POWs for Truth, which launched their joint ad campaign last month, unveiled two ads Thursday.
In one commercial, the faces of dozens of men are shown as an announcer says: ``They're the men who served with John Kerry in Vietnam. They're his entire chain of command, most of the officers in Kerry's unit ... And they're the men who spent years in North Vietnamese prison camps. Tortured for refusing to confess what John Kerry accused them of - of being war criminals.''
In his Senate testimony after the war, Kerry cited reports from other soldiers of atrocities.
The other ad asks, ``Why is this relevant?'' The answer, the ad says: ``Because character and honesty matter. Especially in a time of war.''
Chad Clanton, a Kerry spokesman, called the ads ``more trash politics from President Bush's allies. Not only have their charges been proven false, but they're not talking about things that affect voters' daily lives like health care, jobs and the mess in Iraq.''
Combined, the groups have bought about $1.5 million worth of airtime to run the ads in Ohio and on national cable channels for a week. However, officials say the groups will end up spending $3 million between now and Nov. 2 to run the spots in those venues as well as in Colorado and New Mexico.
Swift Boat Ad's **ping**
BTTT
Better suit up in your body armour - the trash is about to come at you, non-stop.
Thank God that my fellow Viet Nam veterans have come forward to expose the Traitor!
Never Forget!
The Traitor lied while good men died!
Help Support the Swiftees!

Must be a DNC talking point. They have yet to prove that the SBV&POW for Truth have been proven false. And as I recall, it was the KERRY campaign who backed off of THREE claims of John Kerry's "heroism" when the Swifties made an issue of it. These people are so lame!
I just made another donation to the SBVT yesterday. Best bang for your buck!
Chad would never have made it in the military...
remember, "Don't ask, Don't tell".
