What I still don't understand is that if he's admitting to being an eye witness to war crimes, and he didn't attempt to stop any of them (and the implication was this was more than once occurrence) then does that not make him at minimum an accessory to those crimes? I, for one, do not think we need an admitted war criminal for president.

Sure that's not John Elway? LOL

Depends on who is talking. If GWB argues Kerry's Purple Hearts were awarded to a well connected political type who, in 2/3 cases didn't miss any work due to his 'injuries'...he'll get clobbered! GWB's service was adequate, but Kerry faced more danger overall (and my Dad flew F-102s, among many other planes).

On the other hand, if I point out Kerry's injuries were, IMHO, well below Purple Heart status, and that he immediately applied for a return trip home after the third...well, let's just say my co-workers today were as disgusted as I was.

We need to distinguish between arguements GWB should use in commercials, and arguements we can use with co-workers.

BUT......he was passing it to him. Kerry was too stoned to know?
