But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed

I suspect, and hope, this will be the subject of the next SwiftVets ad. I'll have to send them another $50 I guess, to see that there is another ad.

This ad is a clear view that the emperor has no clothes.

No clothes? I'd say no skin.

Which is fine - you can buy it right here:

But be prepared to wait. I ordered mine on the 16th, along with a copy of the 911 commission report, and the order hasn't even shipped yet. They are promissing delivery 26th through 30th.

I suspect they are selling way more than they have available, and have to wait for the publisher to print more... hopefully lots and lots more. :)

I can hear it fine - but can't see it - even in IE.

This seems to be a problem since I installed Firefox. Anyone know what might need to be reset to be able to see these ads?

Couldn't see the other one either - saw it at a friend's.

Thanks.

...All Kerry is discovering is that if you screw over and destroy a few million people, it IS going to come back to bite you.

:More than a few million, he likely influenced millions of millions of Americans against the war, destroying their resolve and causing them to belittle and humiliate our precious troops.

I know I was impacted by the term 'baby killers' and I can remember thinking that the troops in Vietnam were animals.

Kerry impacted our nation back then in an horrendous way and it turns out, TOTALLY NARCISSTIC AND FABRICATED way.

I wish I had been smarter back then, with a great understanding of exactly the sacrifices our troops make. There is no one in our nation I admire more than our veterans now. And I think of our troops way over there in Iraq and Afganistan now...and love them...and BROIL OVER at the attempts by our liberal press and pathetic vile parasites of freedom like michael moore to do EXACTLY the same thing kerry did way back when.

I dispise them.

All of them.

AND IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT EVEN AS KERRY KNEW HE COULD DEPEND UPON THE MAINSTREAM PRESS TO COVER UP HIS PAST AND HIDE HIS SENATE RECORD AND NOT DEMAND HE RELEASE HIS COMPLETE MEDICAL AND SERVICE RECORD.......

it is not going to WORK!

Kerry is undone.

And best of all....tho small and without power, these COURAGEOUS SWIFT BOAT VETS moved against this press corp-john kerry-dnc GOLIATH and have won.

It may disturb our PResident and John McCain and others that this TRUTH HAS SURFACED (because it is SO UGLY) but ya know, OUR NATION DESERVES TO HEAR FROM THESE GOOD MEN...and chris matthews and lanny davis and salon.com and michael moore and james carville and hurley and harkin and the rest of the smallish, partisan pack can simply take teresa's advice and SHOVE IT (sorry President Bush) because when a TRUTH helps us to DECIDE upon our LEADER in a time of TERROR we need to know the character, more than ever, of a would be COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

they did NOT commit war crimes and did NOT venture into Cambodia.

Some of them may have done so, but much later when Nixon authorized it. I found one site about the Swift Boats that indicated that some Swifts were used to transport South Vietnamese troops into Cambodia. But that was well after Kerry cut and ran. The site is http://www.pcf45.com/. It tells alot about the boats and those who served on them. It's pre cannidate Kerry, and AFAIK, has nothing about him. Click on "SEALORDS" and then in last paragraph on the resulting page on "Operation Tran Hung Dao XI" for info on ops in Cambodia starting in May of 1970, about the same time JFnK was headed to Paris to negotiate with the enemy, an action prohibited by US law. He was an inactive status Naval Reservist at the time, although that status does not make his actions any more illegal, nor is someone in that status subject to the UCMJ. (mores the pity).

The Bush team played this perfectly.

Not the Bush team. The Swift Vets. Many of whom are Democrats. They just don't want a blowhard self serving traitor as President. They can live with four more years of Bush, even if some of them might have to hold their noses to do so.

Somewhere, in behind the Swift Boat Vet group is someone with a lot of media savvy who has thought this campaign through for a long, long time

I think you do them a disservice. Their success in their endeavors post Vietnam show that they are plenty smart enough, and savvy enough, to have planned this "guerrilla campaign" on their own. After all they all got trained by those masters of unconventional warfare the VC and NVA.

Amazon says that book takes 5 to 7 weeks to get it!

That's a change. I ordered mine from then on the 16th and they are still promising delivery between the 26th and 30th of this month. Maybe they've sold out the books from the latest order that they haven't even received yet, but from which they'll fill my order. With new orders having to wait for a subsequent batch of books from the publisher. I hope that's the case.

the Bush team will begin their campaign with Kerry's senate record.

What record? Other than voting for every piece of gun control legislation to come down the pike. That and sweeping the POW issue under the rug to promote "normalized relation" with the Vietnames communists? What else has he done in the Senate? There's lots he's not done, like voting on bills, attending committee meetings and so forth.

But I wouldn't call the things not done a record, more like lack of one.

They better throw in the towel

I think Kerry or maybe Carvil is wearing it, so that might not be such a great idea. Yuck.
