Was Rassmann even on Kerry's Boat?
FOX News | 8/13/04 | Fox News

Posted on 08/13/2004 3:36:49 PM PDT by Jewels1091

Fox news just reported there are questions now about where Rassmann actually was. He said he was on Kerry's boat when it got ambushed, but Kerry's web site says Rassmann was on the boat behind his. Just more questions about kerry's seemingly faulty memory.

I hadn't heard this before either. Also, if Kerry's boat was hit by a mine (as Rassman claims) why didn't his boat have any damage?

Kerry asked for this...."Lt. War Hero." And we still haven't begun to discuss his 20 years as a do-nothing liberal in the Senate.

I thought Rassmann was on the boat that hit a mine, not kerrys.

Actually that goes against the democrats "they weren't in Kerrys boat" argument because it shows that other boats were right there.

Rassman's on the record with different stories. In all versions, however, he spends most of his time on the bottom of the river hoping to avoid being run over by one of our boats. So he was in no position to no whether or not there was any enemy fire.

That's been floating out there in two previously published accounts. Glad it is getting some steam.

Was Rassmann even on Kerry's Boat?

Rassman was definitely on Kerry's boat after Kerry pulled him out of the water, that much is uncontested.

I heard Jim Angle's report on that. It is very curious. One would think they knew whether they were on the boat together or on separate boats.

More and more it appears that much of Kerry's Viet Nam/Cambodia experience may have been fabricated. Kerry is going to have to address these variations. Sending out his mouthpieces with differing versions of the stories just won't do.

Someone posted yesterday that Tony Snow had counted 9 different versions of the Christmas in Cambodia story from the Kerry camp.

We had a discussion on this the other day. See One Boat or Two?

Kerry's Bronze Star citation indicates that the man he rescued was knocked off of his boat - Kerry's Bronze Star

One of the vets has said that they spent an hour refloating the boat that hit a mine. I wouldn't think you would do that under fire. (not to mention picking up the rest of the guys from the boat)

Wasn't this the incident that the other Swift Boaters said Kerry's boat ran away, then came back a short time later, after the other boats were in process of rescuing 3 others who were in the water?

O'Dell said Rassman fell off Kerry's boat when Kerry revved up the engine to flee the scene after the mine blew up Boat No. 3.
