According to the after-action report, after beaching the Swift boat, Kerry "chased VC inland, behind hooch, and shot him while he fled, capturing one B-40 rocket launcher, with round in chamber."
Does the following square with Kerry’s after action report?
"Firing from over here. Firing from over there. Firing from the boat," Vo Thi Vi told Nightline.
She was only a couple hundred yards away when a Swift boat turned and approached the shore, she said, adding that the boat was unleashing a barrage of gunfire as it approached.
"I ran," she recalled, "Running fast. … And the Americans came from down there, yelling 'Attack, Attack!' And we ran."
Her husband Tam said the man who fired the B-40 rocket was hit in this barrage of gunfire. Then, he said, "he ran about 18 meters before he died, falling dead."
"When the firing started, Ba Thanh was killed," Tam said.
None of the villagers seems to be able to say for a fact that they saw an American chase the man who fired the B-40 into the woods and shoot him. Nobody seems to remember that.
The key to the story is that the man did NOT fire the B-40 rocket - Kerry took a picture of himself & Chicago Tribune's Rood with the LOADED launcher (meaning it was LOADED as in NOT fired). Kerry's report claimed they took all kinds of rocket fire with one blowing up right alongside his boat. Nobody else has ever stated such & the reports Kerry totally wrote up are totally at odds with the statements of Rood & all the others who were there.

Where is JF'nK's 180? What is he hiding?
Could be a big story, get your lamestream media butt on the case, ASAP.
Ask any Swift Boat vet!
YOU NEVER BEACH YOUR BOAT! PERIOD!
The Traitor should have been reprimanded...
instead he receives a Silver Star???
And BTW, there is no such commendation as a "V" on a Silver Star
Bogus award for bogus "bravery"...
Why has none of these interviewers asked the Traitor why he hasn't signed the "180"???
Time for all these investigative reporters to do some investigating, eh?
How about kerry, for instance? Aren't they the least bit curious about his military files?
AFter this travesty, there should be little doubt whether or not Sinclair is right to run the account of our POW's.
the other critical aspect to identify in ABC story is whether they report about the "numerically superior force" that Hanoi John reported he took on or whether, as all the other people say, it only involved his shooting the one kid in the back. Other stuff like what he wore or how old he was is irrelevant.
If the President had not signed a 180, the press would be all over it saying "what is he hiding?" and doing every bit of investigating possible! How interesting that the MSM has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to get to the bottom of Kerry's refusal to sign it, and unearth his secrets.
Is Koppel adressing why Kerry won't release his military records?
And whatever happened to VC the Flying Dog?
O'Neill is coming up next with Koppel. Perhaps Ted will explain why he and his cronies are not interested.

Who you gonna believe?
kerry or the witness's lying eyes?
I thought this was a free fire zone and the villagers had all been removed from the area.
BTW, ABC is the only non-cable network in the past to give O'Neill a fair interview.
I saw him with interviewed by Stephanapolos.
John's dishing it to Ted! Wow!
Double Wow!
