Has anyone got a quote from McCain about what he said about the Swiftboat Vets? As I recall he did not support them and as much said they were lying. Afterall he was considering the VP slot for Kerry in 2006.

Vets group attacks Kerry; McCain defends Democrat

(08-06) 04:00 PST Washington -- A group of veterans backing President Bush launched a direct attack this week on Democratic nominee John Kerry's war-hero biography by releasing a new TV ad accusing him of lying about his injuries in Vietnam and dishonoring fellow veterans by speaking out against the war.

But the 60-second television commercial, being aired in three battleground states in the presidential race, sparked a furious response Thursday from Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, who called the ad "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House to condemn it.
