(Not yet posted at nytimes.com) Target: John Kerry If John Kerry loses the presidential election, "Unfit for Command," by John O'Neil and Jerome R. Corsi, will go down as a chief reason. The book -- a sort of companion piece to the political attack ad placed by O'Neil's group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- is a furious assault on Kerry's character and service in Vietnam. Navy records have discredited the book's claim that Kerry lied to get his Bronze Star and third Purple Heart -- though only after the sensation hijacked cable news for a month. But for all...

'Unfit for Command' Not on Kerry's Reading List Trail Tales noted Kerry's appearance Wednesday on "Imus in the Morning," but it seems we buried the lead item. The Massachusetts senator gave his most extensive comments to date about "Unfit for Command," the book that disrupted any plans Kerry had for a smooth campaign. It seems Kerry opted not to read it. Here's the exchange: Imus: "Did you read 'Unfit for Command?'" Kerry: "No." Imus: "Did anybody on your staff?" Kerry: "I have no idea." Imus: "Why wouldn't you want to know what's in it? It's the No. 1 New York...

COMMENTS PLEASE: Kerry Is What Kerry Does Countering Swiftboat Vets Has anyone thought to look at the way John Kerry and his fellow Democrats are running his campaign as an indication of his fitness for the office of President of the United States? His response to the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth provides a chilling, timely insight into how Kerry IS what Kerry does. What Swiftboat Veterans for Truth has accomplished with the book, “Unfit for Command,” and their television advertisements is truly amazing. However, their efforts deal with Kerry’s character and credibility in only a limited fashion: What Kerry did...

FBI files indicate that VVAW leader Al Hubbard reported to the VVAW Executive Committee meeting upon returning from Paris the following, “Hubbard indicated that VVAW as an organization had received commitments of support from Leftists throughout the world. He indicated that following the conference he had private discussions with individuals from Laos and Cambodia, the primary topic discussed were tactics in the United States anti-war movement. In his opinion these discussions turned out to be the most important part of the conference for him. He said that during these talks he was able to confirm the fact that a seven...

Recently I have read that John Kerry has told the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that he was not referring to them in his senate speech in 1971, but to all the other Vietnam War veterans. Well, we should apply the same standard to this that Kerry and his news pals have used, that is; That Kerry did not serve in their tent, unit, team, foxhole, aircraft, patrol unit, or squad so therefore he cannot know what these men were doing or not doing. Therefore, because by his own admission that by these standards the SBVT could not have known...

One more brick in the Kerry wall...... http://teamhouse.tni.net/Misc/Kerry/ChungKerry.htm

Nov. 3, 2004: Vietnam vets - finally, you heroes have come home You were spit on. You were called war criminals. You were called baby killers. You served your country and came home to abuse and to be shunned by your countrymen. Many never came home at all. There were lost limbs, broken lives, broken families, alcoholism, drugs, homelessness, despair, and even suicide. You could not understand why you were so hated. There was no parade welcoming you home. There was nobody to offer you their seat on a full airplane. There was no one wanting to shake your hand...

To: stockpirate I am not sure this is the proper place to put this...but here goes... To All The Vets of Viet Nam, I was born in 1955, a baby boomer...into an alcoholic and abusive family. I was 14 years old when Woodstock rocked this nation. I remember standing in front of a 12" black and white set watching it unfold on the 6 o'clock news. I also remember my father using the term..".long haired hippie pukes" and being totally disgusted with the whole mess. Being 14 with a father who like to use his fists..I naturally rejected anything he...

"...I can cite many, many instances, sir, as in combat when these men refused to fight with us, when they shot with their guns over tin this area like this and their heads turned facing the other way. When we were taken under fire we Americans, supposedly fighting with them, and pinned down in a ditch, and I was in the Navy and this was pretty unconventional, but when we were pinned down in a ditch recovering bodies or something and they refused to come in and help us, point blank refused. I don't believe they want to fight, sir..."

It only shows Kerry for a second (at around 1:15) but you can get a feel for the radical nature of the event and organization. Listen carefully near the end and you will hear a VVAW member state that the next time he fights will be to take these steps. Referring to the steps at the US Capitol or the WH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Were John Kerry and the veterans organization he led the real reason the Republicans broke into Watergate in 1972, with information on them the target of the espionage? Was doing so an early onset of Republican political paranoia against his work, a harbinger of the pending campaign against him in 2004? Bob Weiner, the 1971-72 Youth Voter Registration director for the Young Democrats office at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and recently a Clinton White House staffer for six years, is asking these questions after doing a little research to refresh...

A document from the FBI files covering the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) and John Kerry, dated November 16,1971 (FBI file record number ID; 100-448092-483), indicates that local supporters of the VVAW became dissatisfied with the VVAW. As a result of Mr. Kerry’s speech in Gaston Hall at George Washington University, the head office of the VVAW in New York withdrew support for the Washington DC office and for John Kerry. The following is a verbatim transcript of the FBI document:

As of Monday 8/23/04 the Borders bookstore in Davis, CA was sold out of the eight copies of "Unfit for Command" that was in-transit to the store on the previous Friday. On their service desk sits a large sign as follows: Unfit for Command is our #1 non-fiction bestseller Copies of it are very difficult to obtain Please reserve your copy now Davis is the home of UC Davis and is like Berkeley light. The Borders store is about 100 yards from the UC Davis campus. The liberals there must be going nuts!

I ordered 3 copies of Unfit for Command from Amazon last week. I am still waiting for them to be shipped. Tonight, on our way home we were listening to Mark Levin talking to people give anecdotes from people trying to buy the book and the troubles that people were having with that. We decided to stop by Barnes and Noble since it was on our way home. Here is what followed: I walked in and Bill's book is front and center as you walk in the door. I walked around looking for the book. Well, you guessed it, nowhere...
