Sunday on "Meet the Press" John Kerry finally agreed to sign the famous Form 180, releasing his full military records. John O'Neill, co-author of Unfit for Command and many other critics of Sen. Kerry's war record have long called on him to release all records. No details were yet given on when or where Kerry would actually sign the long-sought-after release.
Key excerpt from Sunday's "Meet the Press":
MR. RUSSERT: Many people who’ve been criticizing you have said: Senator, if you would just do one thing and that is sign Form 180, which would allow historians and journalists complete access to all your military records. Thus far, you have gotten the records, released them through your campaign. They say you should not be the filter. Sign Form 180 and let the historians. . .
SEN. KERRY: I’d be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren’t even relevant to the record. So when we get--I’m going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn’t in the record and we’ll put it out. I have no problem with that.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim. . .
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.
Developing...
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.
Believe it when You see it.
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Guaranteed. His Highness John Francois Kerri will never show his weaknesses to us unwashed peasants.
Every conservative radio host should make this a top story until Kerry signs.
"Believe it when You see it."
ditto!
"So when we get--I’m going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn’t in the record and we’ll put it out. I have no problem with that".
translation: I will scrub the records of all incriminating evidence of my misdeeds.
I believe this just slightly more than I believe promises of full disclosure from Kofi Annan.
He CAN'T do this, unless he wants a quick exit from politics... I mean, unless his WIFE wants him to have a quick exit from politics.

Kerry's stinky underwear alert!
"When I said I would sign the DD-180, I meant that I would... when monkeys flew out my ass"... John Kerry - The next day
It will be a full 360 before the pen finds its way to paper.
ping em Tonk
I can't see that happening. J Francois Kerri is not very well liked amongst us knuckle-dragging military types.
He was FOR IT but now he's AGAINST IT!
FLIPPER AT HIS FINEST!
Maybe he's gotten all the incriminating evidence of his treason, *sanitized*...
If Kerry made it through and entire presidential election without disclosing it, what makes amyone think he will do it now?
In other news the sun rose this AM, and bears defecate in forested regions.
Kerry has absolutely no intention of signing Form 180.
If doing so would have proved the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to be liars during the campaign, he would have signed it in a heartbeat.
The fact that he did not sign it then means that he dare not sign it now.
