[Interesting Times]

Kerry can't apologize for his antiwar efforts; not really. What he and his cohorts did then lies at the heart of leftist mythology, and they won't give it up without a fight. PBS lists Kerry's atrocities rap before Fulbright and company as one of their "Greatest American Speeches" -- one of only four chosen from the 1970's.

If they're forced to admit now that their "war crimes" chorus was just propaganda -- propaganda done in tandem with America's enemies during wartime -- it will destroy what shreds of credibility the Left still retains. Certainly it will destroy their ability to replay their greatest triumph using Iraq as the stage...

I think the Democrats are stuck with Kerry. I think Kerry is stuck with his 1971 role as a taller Jane Fonda. And I think this issue is the hammer that may finally shatter the Big Lie about Vietnam; that our efforts to save South Vietnam were wrong, immoral, doomed to failure, and characterized by random acts of savagery. If so, Kerry's candidacy will be swept down the drain along with it.

I watched John O'Neill on Cspan this morning.He is simply devastating in his assertions that Kerry isn't fit to be CIC.Not campaigning for Bush,just spreading this absolute knowledge and conviction that Kerry isn't qualified to be CIC.

He is going to make Kerry's change from "war criminal" to "war hero" a nightmare.He's going to get help from other vets. I cannot imagine anyone being as credible,forceful,articulate and assured as O'Neill.He is passionate.

Can you say candidate "Hillary"? Did you get someone to do the transcription?
