We should at least keep in public's eye that he refuses to sign form 180, that he has something very serious to hide. And hope some brave reporter will corner him about it.

The article by Buzz Patterson is the best synopsis of Kerry's questionable discharge history and most importantly, he does bring to the fore the one issue I hadn't quite appreciated, by making March 1970 the end of his service someone is attempting to ensure Kerry could be exempt from prosecution on his anti-war activities especially since I believe there isn't a statute of limitation on treason, so Kerry appears to have succeeded in whitewashing his military record.

Not only that but this makes it perfectly clear why the Navy refused Judicial Watch's request into a investigation into all of Kerry's medals. Between the questionable discharge issue and the questionable medals issue including foremost the unheard of three citiations for that Silver Star, a person or persons in the Navy was co-operating with Kerry on his whitewash, whether directed by someone in authority, Kerry himself or some other Senator from Mass., who knows.

For all we know those missing Navy records were shredded around the same time. By 2001, no doubt, Kerry likely figured he was making a run for the Presidency. Sydney Schanberg of the Village Voice, in his own investigation of Kerry as the Chairman of the POW/MIA Affairs Committee claimed Kerry's staff was shredding classified documents from that investigation to the protestation of intelligence agents who witnessed it. After all isn't it the DNC that claims Bush whitewashed his own military record - remember Bill Burkett, the DNC/CBS moonbat. What is it with Democrats and classified documents I wonder.

Of course Kerry's chairmanship of that Committee and his rush to establish normalization with Vietnam, covering up evidence that POWS and MIAs were seen alive in Vietnam, and the fact Kerry had a motive to be in such a hurry - his cousin secured $900 million dollars worth of Vietnam reconstruction contracts has oddly been ignored by the RNC and Swift Boats as well as the MSM.

But no wonder the Navy didn't want an investigation because they want to avoid their own scandal, that they could be so easily duped in issuing those medals in the first place or that Navy personnel could have been doctoring documents to aid the career of a Senator.

Now there had been some talk that the Navy was going to investigate the third citation of the Silver Star because John Lehman, the Former Secretary of the Navy publicly stated that he never wrote that citation nor signed it. I was scouting around and haven't find anything on it since this was reported by the NY Post several weeks ago.

Judicial Watch was appealing the Navy's decision not to investigate, and kudos to Judicial Watch for trying, but I'm not sure if the appeal has been heard yet.

But I seem to recall skimming across an item that said the citation was not signed by Lehman personally but was signed by one of those signature stamps. Hmmmmmm, kind of fits in with my theory here.

It amazes me that 60 Minutes or Bob Woodward wouldn't be all over something like this.

Of course now that Bob Woodward was snubbed by Kerry, Kerry better watch his back.
