It is well known that John Kerry testified before the Congress in 1971 and his testimony although both disputable and refutable in factual, ethical, and Constitutional terms, is an indisputable historical fact. Now and forever, Kerry's ignominious testimony soils the record and good name of millions of Veterans and the United States of America. How that testimony came about, and what Kerry's political aspirations were then, are self-evident now. Kerry was "at home" among Senators who had a likeminded agenda in 1971 and both were grandstanding, but Kerry erroneously thought it would light a fuse and rocket him to political...

Record break-in It appears that the Kerry campaign is finally getting some of its own medicine, as it is feeling heat to release the bulk of the Sen. John Kerry's service record. For months, the campaign has been hiding behind Freedom of Information Act requests and what it has said was an exclusivity contract with its paid historian, Douglas Brinkley. But Brinkley late Friday said that there was nothing holding back the campaign from releasing documents. By some counts, there are more than 100 pages of documents related to Kerry's military service that may answer some of the many unanswered...

Kerry ''Defends'' Vietnam War Record Blames Bush For Vet's Ad Commentary on the News Thursday, August 19, 2004 Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor John Kerry 'came out swinging' as the media terms it, in 'defense' (another media choice) of his Vietnam War record. Except that Kerry didn't address any of the charges leveled against him. Instead, Kerry announced that the SWIFT Boat Veterans had received 'hundreds of thousands of dollars' from a Republican donor in Texas, and that the Swiftees were bought-and-paid-for liars who were doing the White House's 'dirty work'. Of course, if that were true, then Kerry...

Authors of a new book criticizing John Kerry's service in Vietnam write the Democrat took no enemy fire on the night he sustained a slight injury for which he received a Purple Heart, an injury he caused himself by firing a grenade launcher at too close a range. In "Unfit for Command," scheduled for release Aug. 15, John O'Neill, who took over Kerry's swift-boat command, and co-author Jerome Corsi explain the scratch was caused by Kerry's firing an M-79 grenade launcher too close, "causing a tiny piece of shrapnel (one to two centimeters) to barely stick in his arm." They...

Did anyone else see this? This was the first time I have heard him claim this. Is he just saying this because he knows Kerry will never file a SF180 to release his records? I suspect John Kerry actually put himself in for the Silver Star, but we have no way of knowing, do we?

<p>February 23, 2004 -- AT 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. At the same time, two F-15 fighters were ordered to intercept United Flight 175, then speeding toward the south tower. In six minutes the planes were aloft, manned by National Guard pilots. They arrived eight minutes late.</p>

VIETNAM has been the defining issue for John Kerry. His status as a decorated war hero has helped to propel him to the front of the pack of Democrat candidates seeking to evict George W.Bush from the White House. Conservative critics believe he has been given a free ride for too long on his war record, however, and are planning a fightback. Support for their case is expected to come from a book to be published next month by reporters from The Boston Globe in Kerry's home state of Massachusetts. The book, JF Kerry, the Complete Biography, will question the...
