"Perhaps posting (several different times) posts giving false hope that something 'dramatic' would be on the front pages the enxt morning ..."

Sure. But understand that having inside info places you in a very awkward position. Its a series of tough calls and dissapointments - do I put this out there when I see they are demoralized without the full story, oops I got chop-blocked by higher on this one, etc.

Don't be too harsh. If you weren't so hungry for the scoop, you wouldn't have been so affected ;)

Good to see you back on the boards. And thanks for posting this.

There's enough out there to sink Kerry. Stay the course.

Well, except for the last episode with the rally, Chief did not lead us on with false hope. When he said something would happen, it did.

I distinctly remember those posts and I also recall that the story did go to the front page. It may not have been the newspaper you or I wanted but I thought I was clear about that.

The problem that I had, and many others, also, was that the "story" that came out was the same old story. No proof, just suppositions.

I was not harsh. I just offered my honest opinion.

You're right.

Bottom line: Chief has acquired some wisdom and experiecne the "fun" way :)

We'll keep a light on. I believe the whole truth will see the light of day, eventually. John Francois' Maggot will be exposed. I have faith. God Bless the Swifties. They helped the truth take the hill, but the battle rages on. We're here. We will not slide back into silent frustrated slumber. Thank you for the update NavyCheif.

I wanted to tell you, Sir, that you and the Swift Boat Vets & POWs for Truth community are a bold and a courageous group of people. You all contributed greatly to the defeat of the traitor Kerry in your midst. I'm not just saying that. Several articles, including one today from New Mexico, have said your ads were among the most remembered and effective of the election season. You spoke the truth and people listened. Bravo to you all and God Bless you.

No need to apologize as far as I am concerned. I think the Swift Vets will go down in history as largely responsible for sinking Kerry's boat.

God bless you all for your service to your country.

Thank you for all you've done, Chief. Fortunately, my feeling that America wouldn't put a charlatan in the Oval Office proved correct. We can now wait for the rest.

God bless you and all your buddies who have risen to the task yet again.

Thank you for all you've done. Of course, all of us wished it could "all" come out some weeks before the election. As it turned out, the good guys won anyway. I hope the rest of the story is told, though. Kerry is still a danger to the country, being a senator and sitting on important committees. This is not where I want traitors to be. Your work is appreciated.

Thanks for posting and for everything else you and the other SBVs did to expose Kerry. Your work was a big reason why I didn't vote for him. Thanks also for serving in the Navy.

"Posting unsubstantiated rumors without, any basis in fact, in the middle of a close election, did none of us any good."

Amen. And worse still, it undermined the work done by people who put a lot more time and effort into this than you know.

NC seems to seek the limelight and doesn't want to do the hard work to warrant it.

"Well, except for the last episode with the rally, Chief did not lead us on with false hope. When he said something would happen, it did."

Imagine how I felt, if you were disappointed in the Rally. But when I get a phonecall and it says, "STAND DOWN you are going to hurt the Swifties" and "others" are saying "the Rally won't be necessary, we've got it covered" -- what am I suppose to do with that? Yep. I just whined but it pissed me off beyond words because I was hoping they were right.

- Chief

Thank You very much for your service and dedication !

The 'Right-Nows' and the 'gimmewatchyerholdin' types agitate and truly contribute little but their angst.

Depending which closets will open and which rocks aren't to hot to approach - there are films/audio tapes/surveillance photos of 'the kurr's' spouting in Paris. Somebody needs to get them out to the public.

Good Luck !
