Kerry's mom's last words on her death bed: "Integrity, integrity, integrity..."
It was "seared, SEARED" into his mind...
KERRY CLAIMS CHRISTMAS OF 1777 SPENT AT VALLEY FORGE
PARIS -- Hoping to embellish his image as a military leader, John Kerry, Democrat candidate for president, today told an audience at a campaign stop in Berkeley, California that he spent Christmas of 1777 at Valley Forge serving with George Washington and the Continental Army. "I was proud to serve in the Swift Canoe Service," said Kerry. "And I remember what it was like to come under musket fire, which is more than George W. Bush can say."
Appearing before a Congressional committee later in the day, Kerry denounced his fellow Revolutionary War veterans as war criminals, and said that members of the Continental Army were personally ordered by General Washington to carry out torture and rape against British civilians.
A group calling itself Revolutionary War Veterans for Truth has issued broadsheets refuting the allegations made by Kerry. In retaliation, lawyers for the Kerry campaign have asked the Federal Election Commission to stop the publication of the broadsheets and to put the members of the Veterans group in the stockade on the village square.
William Grim for Iconoclast
Beaching his vessel and endangering his crew to harvest a medal he would soon throw at the White House marks him as unfit for command.
His citation for this action underwent serial editing (by him, no doubt), producing no fewer than three versions.
He could clear the cloud surrounding his actions (and character) by signing the Standard Form 180--something he utterly refuses to do.
Instead of demonstrating that "integrity" he ascribed to his dying mother, he sends a succession of stooges to distract, including:
Couldn't the ex-VC fax their confirmations from the Saigon Kinko? Nah, fake memos, etc. don't work anymore, so desperate Dems require Vietnamese actors.
You were a helicopter doorgunner in Viet Nam, I believe, and your analogy of officer combat decisions in aluminum Hueys vis-a-vis aluminum Swift Boats is very powerful. Thank you, and bookmarking.
