By the way, did you know that Kerry served in the military?

As the claxons sounded and fires raged above and below decks, Admiral John Forbes Kerry boarded his slow, once invincible battlewagon. Oblivious to the groans of rupturing boilers and a 15º list to starboard, the Admiral orders “Full speed ahead and prepare to engage the enemy!” to an astonished crew.
Kerry had worked all night on a battle plan that befuddled even his most ardent advisors. At first, He boldly played cat-and-mouse with the “Super Dreadnought” Dean but then retired back to Nantucket harbor to “refuel“ and do some windsurfing. Most officers called for aggressive tactics while Kerry chose caution, fearing that harsh attacks would alienate the new voters the “Super Dreadnought” Dean has attracted to the Democratic Party. Kerry dismissed his officers concerns saying that "The Super Dreadnought” would not attack unless we engaged him. In fact, he pooh-poohed reports that the Dean battlefleet had mined Nantucket harbor and were “mooning” their battlewagon!
Officers who spoke on conditions of anonymity said that Kerrys approach to sea battle was based on his river patrol experience in Vietnam. Some have said that he has overloaded his ship with the lavish amenities of a life-long patrician hack. In anycase, Kerry now scans over his rope-fouled decks awash in burning fuel oil and orders full speed ahead. A move that will surely break the vessels keel and send it to the bottom.
As Kerry proceeds in his folly, the DNC Sea Lords are now closely scrutinizing his every move. The “Super Dreadnought” Dean must be sunk at all costs and they banked on Kerry to do the job for them. But the “Super-Super Dreadnought”, Hillary, is nearing completion and hopes are high for her triumphant launch. No matter what fate has in store for Kerry, you can bet the farm that his dress whites will be freshly pressed with razor-sharp creases.
“I have not yet begun to fight! Damn the torpedoes! Which way to The Vineyard!”
What a tool!

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't get it. I thought he had announced WEEKS ago. If he only just announced TODAY, what was he doing all summer long while he was one of hte Nine...testing the waters??
I don't think we were missing anything.
From Yahoo! News...
At his announcement, Kerry was joined by crew members of a Navy gunboat he commanded in Vietnam, where he won a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. Introducing Kerry was former Sen. Max Cleland (news, bio, voting record) of Georgia, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam combat. It is all part of Kerry's core argument that his military experience gives him unique credibility among the nine Democratic contenders to confront Bush on national security issues.
Oh!
Sorry. I thought that was the name of his "once invincible battlewagon", not the start of a new sentence.
WOW, who would have known??
On a more serious note, is he still pretending to have thrown THOSE MEDALS over the fence in protest of the Vietnem war, or did he drop that part of his act?
It's a darned shame that Kerry found a maimed vet to act as his stooge, even though he testified to Congress about non-existant, daily comitted war crimes.
"It is all part of Kerry's core argument that his military experience gives him unique credibility among the nine Democratic contenders to confront Bush on national security issues"
Yeah...lead from the back, save your own a$$, lie and cheat. How unique.
