John Kerry vs. Swift Vets (A re-match?)
Don't Get SOS ^ | May 27, 2006 | Dustin Hawkins

Posted on 05/27/2006 7:53:25 PM PDT by WatchYourself

The puff piece starts out: “John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: “Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia.” Right off the bat, this is the first piece where the Swift Boat Vets were 100% correct. At the time, John Kerry stated that his trip took place on Christmas Eve in 1968. The SBV were right at the time, he was NOT iN Cambodia on Christmas Eve of 1968. Kerry had said that this moment was “seared” into him. After the Vets came out, Kerry had his personal biographer come out and it changed to “sometime in January.” Apparently all along it had been February 12, 1969. (And he has a hat to prove it)....

Sweetness and Light also brings up the point about the after-action report on the kid that Kerry shot. (The slimes “proved” that Kerry was telling the truth because the kid was laying on his back, not his stomach, and thus it would have been impossible for Kerry to have shot him while running away. Physics denies it!)

The after action report:

AND MOVED IMMEDIATELY TO ASSIST. PCF 94 BEACHED IN CENTER OF AMBUSH IN FRONT OF SMALL PATH WHEN VC SPRUNG UP FROM BUNKER 10 FEET FROM UNIT. MAN RAN WITH WEAPON TOWARDS HOOTCH, FORWARD M-60 GUNNER WOUNDED MAN IN LEG. OINC JUMPED ASHORE AND GAVE PURSUIT WHILE OTHER UNITS SATURATED AREA WITH FIRE AND BEACHED PLACING ASSAULT PARTIES ASHORE.

<< What a doofus >>

A doofus indeed and, right down there with the bloody Cli'tons, Billy-Bubba and Bruno, without a doubt one of the world's most deadly dangerous dullards.

And, like that other deadly dangerous dullard, Alfredo Goreleone, a second-generation, at least, Socialist-Internationale-supporting capital "T" Traitor.

Thank you John Kerry for the wonderful tagline.

Almost a year and counting now :)

If Kerry had been arrested and tried for treason for his lies when he came back from Nam and found guilty along with his mentor Ted Kennedy, and then hung at the Capitol Steps with Kennedy, the world today would be different and better.

If these operations were top secret then Kerry is in violation of releasing classified information?

If Kerry were half serious, he'd sue John O'Neill and SBVT for libel. (Governor King won a libel action action against the Globe for a single article, SBVT have run an entire campaign.) He could sue in Massachusetts, where he ran like 63-37, and be assured of a reasonably sympathetic jury.

The fact that he cowers behind media surrogates, like the Globe and NYT shows that he only wants to take a few potshots through proxies to improve his viability as a candidate in 2008, while carefully avoiding any real fight.

You will notice that Clinton never personally refuted Anita Bodderick's (or any other woman's) charges, because he'd open himself up to a slander action. So, Kerry will never directly confront O'Neill, becauses he knows he will lose.

Yes, all were top secret. However, DOD has I believe declassified them, as they are almost all now freely discussed in books, articles and on special operations websites. As for Kerry, since he likely did not actually do what he said, he would in no case be guilty of releasing classified information.

Saturday night I had the privilege of speaking to the Junior-Vice Commander of the VFW. He just returned from Vietnam, where he served in the late 60's. The Vietnamese soldiers took the delegation to the War Museum in the North and there was JF Kerry's picture hanging there. The soldiers told the Americans that they consider him a hero.

Case closed, he's a traitor.

Following my intrepid CO's example, I too have reviewed my notes of that Cambodian action under his command. The moonless night (one of many) when he led us on clandestine missions up the Mekong, swimming naked,(well not quite, we wore those Rambo-style headbands so we could ID each other in the dark) armed with nothing but our trusty Kabars held in our clenched teeth, to take Vietcong sentries prisoner, swimming them back for intense, yet humane interrogations, did not occur on Christmas Eve in 1968, as I previously reported.

I apologize for distorting history, but the mind can play strange tricks, especially after taking the brunt of tremendous explosions of underwater mines,and then risking death to rescue a fellow officer. Harrowing adventures lead to Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

It was definitely a moonless Chanukkah evening, in 1969, when we ran with muffled engines into Cambodia, our small yet powerfully armed riverine craft loaded to the gunwales with humanitarian supplies and a load of bright and jolly toys for Catholic/Episcopalian/Jewish missions along the river. Not that my CO, Lt. John Forbes Kerry of Massachusetts was seeking to slight the very worthwhile efforts of other missionary sects, he just wished to honor his own diverse heritage. It's an Irish thing.

We who served those many long years 'in country' with the man who selflessly would be our CIC, are just sick and tired of these scurrilous nit-picking attacks. "Chambering an RPG round," for example. Done it many times myself in the heat of combat in the fog of war. The resultant explosions were how I earned some of my own personal Purple Hearts, which were heartily endorsed by Lt. JFK. Laugh away, right-wing dingbats, but the Lt. and I are to this very day, picking rice from our continually festering Vietnam-era wounds.

When my former CO wins the Presidency, and I am appointed head of The Veterans Administration, we shall not take vengeance upon those who have lied and distorted the record with this slanderous pettifoggery. Instead, we shall make sure that anyone who has a war record similar to Lt. John F. Kerry's will be honored with huge cash bonuses and other 'perks,' such as free Heinz Condiments for life.

I would be lying though, if I did not tell you that these false and libelous attacks have caused a hero from Massachusetts great pain. I share his pain. It is seared; seared I tell you, into my memory.

Thinking about your heroism and your CO gives me a journalistic woodie. I may soil myself, or at least the pages of New York Times and the Boston Globe, with the results. Mary Mapes would unnerstan.

Yes, Lonesome, if you need the truth about military history and especially Vietnam and Lt. John F. Kerry, (who as you may know is a highly decorated veteran of that conflict and is currently serving as the Junior Senator from your very own state, a seat once held by the Virgin and Martyr, St. John F. Kennedy, whose initials he shares), read the NYT and BG ... before soiling.

PS, I trust you are not doing your reading in the Public Library of Worcester ... it might disturb the perverts who gather there for web research.

Thank you for your multicultural take on these heroic events of long ago. I know we can count on your vote.

John Kerry was in Vietnam? You don't say! Who knew? It was never in the papers.

He was big in NORTH Vietnam... maybe that's why you never knew it. They got a framed picture of him in some museum... so I hear tell.
