Do you know something, or was this just an alliteration?
Kerry is going to get his clocks cleaned on this challenge because not only was he a liar, but some of his friends were too. They gave so many different versions of the same event to different media that you needed a roadmap and a bottle of aspirin just to follow what they said.
Kranish is also a liar and a Kerry pansy. Not all the AARs (After Action Reports) are at the Navy Historical Center in D.C. Many reports may have been destroyed in Vietnam, while others were never written down, only given verbally.
The National Archives is very short of good AAR’s for many battle actions because they were small skirmishes, one among dozens, scores or hundreds a day.
Occasionally you can find a two line AAR summary, such as happened with (Sen). Kerrey’s operation in the Delta.
He who writes the reports, rules, and apparently Kerry wrote the Bay Hap River report, among many others. The same for the B-40 VC rocketeer incident. You would never have knowN that there were two other PC boats in support of his beaching operation (See Rood’s piece in the Chicago Tribune).
And the key question for Kerry about his activities after leaving the Navy (Active) but being on the Active Reserve or Inactive Reserve muster rolls, was what did he do, who did he meet, and what did he promise to the communists in Paris (VC-PRG and NVietnamese) during his two trips, possibly three trips? He won’t admit that he made three trips but others have said it. He won’t tell us anything about his second trip, and most of what he said about the first trip was pure BS.
Who paid for the trips? Who was the contact with the communists - an American perhaps? Who went with him?
There is much more to Kerry than just what the Swift Boat Veterans wrote and said. I hinted at some of this in the book (I was one of its researchers).
One day we may find that Kerry was a traitor, unintentional due to stupidity and blindness, but a traitor nevertheless, the perfect Communist dupe.
The only fear is that records have been or will be destroyed or hidden from public scrutiny that will reveal the true Kerry.
Just wait! Trust me!
{Nothing I’m writing here has anything to do with the Swifties per se. They’re brave enough men of action to speak for themselves. I speak as a Vietnam journalist who has been following Kerry’s pink career since 1970).
I didn’t hear the original challenge by Pickens at the Amer. Spec. dinner, but the letter above was written one week after the dinner in 04. So I don’t see that he has changed anything. The letter appears to be the original “official” challenge.
Thanx. I feel that because Kerry has secreted his records he must have something to hide.
I have monogrammed tinfoil chapeaus for each day of the week, but if Kerry didn’t have an ace in the hole or a way out I doubt he would be pushing on Boone Pickens. On the other hand, my tinfoil picks up vibrations that Hill has asked him to create some distraction to get the righties off her butt. Perhaps she has promised to make him the ambassador to Paris or Ho City.
