"Expand on that. What mode is he in?"

His peers say when he takes on a case he becomes his opponents worst nighmare.

He makes a terrier look like a cocker spaniel, is relentless and never quits, utilizes total concentration on the case at hand.

In short, Kerry is in for even a much worse ride as the election nears.

Powerful; Kerry should not be able to run from his past. He must be made to face it.

I have read that O'Neill's father served at Iwo Jima. Isn't the picture of raising the flag what Kerry's picture on the cover of The New Soldier is about? Talk about adding fuel to a burning fire!

They are holding back something big about Kerry

I think "it" is a military document about Kerry that has their book title in it. One of the swift vets probably authored the document and has a copy.

This is why O'Neill has that sly grin on his face when he challenges Kerry's lawyers to sue him. Or tells Kerry to sign the Form 180 and release all the records.

That is why Kerry & Crew are looking so sick of late, they knows what is coming.

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.

You said it.

"The first thing you need to know about John O'Neill is that the O'Neills were sea dogs through and through. Even today, there are some 90 first cousins living in and around Annapolis ? home of the Naval Academy ? many of them serving in America's fleets. O'Neill's grandfather taught at the Naval Academy; his father graduated in the early '30s, flew fighters, fought at Iwo Jima, and retired an admiral; O'Neill himself, who grew up in landlocked San Antonio, Texas, was in the Naval Academy Class of 1967 (two brothers also graduated, '57 and '59). An uncle, a fighter pilot, was killed at Pearl Harbor; another, also a naval pilot, in Korea. Several of O'Neill's nephews fought in the first Gulf War in the Marine Corps, and his brother-in-law commanded the Coast Guard, Atlantic Area. Nelson and Nimitz would have been proud of the O'Neills."

The Swifties have earned the right to be heard. Any columnist who complains that this is a smear campaign or denies the Vets, their First Amendment Right should be called on it. How ironic that the Press tries to say who has the Constitutional Right to speak?? That is the beauty of this country, everybody has the right to be heard and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately the First Amendment has been undermined by the now crumbling Mainstream Monopoly.

Anyone who has fought and bled for America’s Freedom has a special right to speak and be heard. I did not serve, so I am grateful for each and every man who gave me the right to speak. If everyone is able to express his own Truth, than the actual Truth will find a way to seek it’s light. Do I know if the Swifties are telling the Truth or Yaaawn is telling it in country? No, but they know which ones are lying. Let them actually debate it because it is critical that this truth comes out.

Yaaaaawn Tax & Kerry came back as an eye witness to atrocities committed by American Troops in Viet Nam. Many of us at that age believed him and believed that our Government was fighting an unjust war while torturing the innocents of Viet Nam. When Kerry spoke in front of the Congress and said he saw people dismembered, we assumed he was not lying. When he said and wrote he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, we knew that had to be true, but was it??

He has admitted that the Cambodia story was a lie. How in the world can you be 15,000 miles away from home on Christmas Eve and not know exactly where you were?? He was on the river a total of 4 months and one of those 120 days was Christmas Eve. In 1968 was there a bigger day of the year than Christmas Eve and you were a scared and lonely boy in a war and now you say your “seared” memory of was not sure where you were?? The breadth of this lie cannot be measured!!!

The bigger fraud the Swifties have exposed once again, is that we have lost an objective press that is searching for the Truth. In actuality polls have shown that 95% of the press is going to vote/campaign for Kerry. These are very active participants in the electoral process and are working to get their nominee elected. The Swifties have shown that they will censor anything critical of Kerry no matter how well researched or numbers of eyewitnesses to these charges.

Compare this group to the ridiculous charges made by Wilson, Moore or the AWOL & Abu Grab fabrications. Every one of these unfounded attacks were given unlimited air and print in hopes of helping Kerry. Every one of these charges of the Presidents’ lies have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be lies. None of these liars have subsequently been called out as liars themselves. Why, because the Stone-age Press has a dog in this hunt and need to get their power back. The complete irony is that when they show their obvious hand, like with the Swifties it just reaffirms their complete lack of credibility, which is in the end is their reason for existing.

The crumbling of the Mainstream Monopoly continues and after this election Humpty Dumbie will never be put together again, thankfully. The new press is getting the message out and is exactly where the Swifties are motoring. Their story is cruising down the Mekong Delta of ideas and truth and past the razor wire of PravdABDNC. They are being examined for their trustworthiness and so far they are untouched. They have proved that Kerry is capable of lying about entering Cambodia in the most egregious way. In a time of War, then and now; speaking the Truth is all that matters. This little Navy has torpedoed not only the Kerry’s Lies, but a sinking Corrupted Monopoly to boot.

Pray for W and Our Troops

This kind of speculation is worth the bits its written in, but I agree.

There's a certain sort of orchestration and progression with the SWIFTvets, as if they'd planned this as carefully as Operation Slingshot in the Delta.

Kerry's habitual fallback to his Vietnam war record is completely obliterated. He'll never be able to lie about it again. So all he's now left with is his other bad habit, which is lending aid and comfort to the enemy. Dissing America. Dissing our soldiers.

It's absolutely astonishing that the SWIFTvets could have maneuvered him into this position, but O'Neill is at the helm and (as he's said in interviews), he's been waiting for this moment for 30 years.

So one would assume that with Kerry now bashing America again, dissing our allies and our soldiers again, in his full-blown gloom and doom and hating-America mode, that the SWIFTvets have him right where they want him and that they've planned a conclusive final blow.

But that's all just a guess. Who knows what kind of plan these 200 Naval officers have in mind. Whatever it is, it won't be a random finale.

Hey, I thought that was part of the exercise here, see who can come the closest in guessing what was going to happen!!

Gee, I thought I had a good chance to win the pool, and now it seems there isn't a pool. Cheeeeze, bummer.

Great thoughts, very possible. Be sure to claim your fame if you are proved right. (If so, FReepmail me and I will point people to your post if you are embarrassed to do it yourself!)

The question I would like to see on a Swift Boat ad is this, "If he betrayed our husbands and brothers in Viet Nam, how can we trust him not to betray our sons in Iraq?"

You are exactly right. This is a powerful and well done ad and it speaks the truth. John Kerry cannot be trusted. If we could not trust him back then we surely can't trust him as OUR President! God bless all of our military.

claim your fame

Yeah, but unfortunately it would be but a fleeting one.

At one time it seemed that FR would have on the page in a poster's "personal" file of posts the number of "hits" they had on a given thread. This was not the number of total posts, but the number of people I guess reading that thread.

The number was disappointingly small, maybe 10-20 times the number of posts. So it would seem most posts have, say, 100-1000 readers. Total viewership I'm sure is much larger, but given the multiple threads and subjects, the 24 hour cycle, and the quickness with which threads disappear, the chances of any given post being read by very many people is pretty small.

By the way, I like your screen name. If my kids were still at home and they were making the choice for me, that's what they would have picked!
