John Kerry still has not signed his Form 180; removes Navy records from web

one vet's opinion | 6/21/06

[pabianice]

It is now 17 months since John Kerry "promised" to sign his Form 180, allowing the Navy to release to the public his Navy record. He lied. Not only has he not signed his 180, he has removed from the web what few, edited records he had released prior to the 2004 presidential election.

This is the man who is again running form president in 2008. The man who garnered the support of only five other senators in demanding we do a "kerry" and run from Iraq with our tails between our legs, a la his disservice in Vietnam.

Buy the Democrats said he was "Electable"...unlike Howard Dean who the elected to run the DNC.

He honestly thinks he can run again without releasing this form? Does he think the Swiftboat vets will suddenly just go away?
Does he think we will forget?
What is with this maroon?

"Benedict Arnold was a war hero, wounded in battle -- before he turned against his country. Hitler was likewise a decorated and wounded veteran of the First World War. Being a war hero is not a lifetime "get out of jail free" card, exempting you from responsibility for what you do thereafter."

I think there's a basic problem here. He doesn't think. And the Democrats wanted to make this guy the President?

[stylin19a]

he removed his records from his web site a long time ago

[New Girl]

I hope someone kept a snapshot of what was on his website before so that it can be compared to whatever he releases in the future (if he releases anything in the future).

We might add that Duke Cunningham is a real war hero as well. His exempolary service to our country didn't keep him out of prison on corruption charges. But of course, he's a Republican.

I just took some DVDs out of the local library and was suprised to find one about Kerry and the Swift Boats on the rack. I read the reviews on the back and then noticed who did them. That was enough, I put it back. It was praised by that guy that juggled a grenade and lost his limbs. It was the "true story" of Kerry's tour in Nam. True, yeah, of course it was.

This has to be the dumbest man in the history of politics!! He just doesn't "get it". I guess he thinks American citizens have undergone a mass lobotomy or, maybe, the increase in global temperatures have fried our brains---just since the 2004 elections.

Obviously, he still thinks he can win an election with only the support of the "looney left".

[teddyballgame]

You can't question him - he served in Vietnam!!!!

i had every scrap and i adiosed it after the election.

captains Quarters may have 'em.
bandit may have 'em.
I checked the swifties and I don't see 'em.

I was able to pull some from "Find Law", but not all of them

http://news.findlaw.com/legalnews/lit/election2004/docs.html

interesting thing was, all the documents redact the
Service Number. One of the later (1971 ish) documents had redacted his Service Number, but left his SSN unredacted.

It started 044-xx-xxxx

(SSNs replaced Service Numbers, but I don't know when exactly)

I believe Kerry DID sign a Form 180 in the May-June 2005 timeframe, but for release to selected reporters. Here is a link in the Powerline Blog Archives: http://powerlineblog.com/archives/010795.php

Send a copy of this in for JFK. I am sure he wishes to correct the record of his Cambodian Christmas and a few other things....

While we are on the subject, how were McLame's Fit Reps?

Has he signed his 180?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I like the #12 one word response, "Better than Bush". Where's this from, the NYT?
