There's no down-side to the Bush campaign at this point in pushing the story along because Kerry's pratfall on Christmas-Eve-in-Cambodia-in-1968 provides blanket immunity to anyone asking tough questions about the rest of the story. Kevin Drum has warned all of us interested in the Kurtz Chronicles that we are displaying "deep unseriousness" about the election by participating in this "smear," and warns darkly that "[i]t will be remembered." Heh. As though anyone can look bad after Kerry's "seared, seared" oration.

LOL, seems like an excellent idea. How could we smear Kerry by asking him questions regarding his Vietnam experience when he made it the centerpiece of his campaign?

No, really?

John Kerry was in Vietnam?

You'd think that he would talk about it more often. :o)

That's a disgusting image!

Interesting read. I hadn't heard about the magic hat until now. If that hat could only talk...

"Prone" is getting closer, since they are now crawling on their bellies.

Excuse please, but wasn't crawling on his belly part of Kerry's stalking the deer with his shotgun?

[Diddley]

I meant that the Media are "on their backs", "takin' " it from Kerry.

But I like you rendation.

[Grani]

Great tagline, thanks, RonDog!

Kerry, who was there for four months and was moved from unit to unit, was just the guy special forces would request for secret missions. Sure.

It's possible. Maybe they knew he was the only one DUMB enough to do it. Or maybe they told him he could bring his camera along. LOL!

"That's a disgusting image!"

Isn't it though? :-)

A friend of mine called me tonight. He had seen footage of Kerry today in I-dee-ho. He said that Kerry's body language is that of someone who is under a tremendous amount of stress.

Go here, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1192211/posts , and tell me if my friend wasn't right. This is a very troubled man (the confusion he is experiencing is because he is feeling as though he should be bothered by his conscience but, being in cognitive dissonance and all that other new age crap, he's incapable and probably wants it all to go away)and it is up to us to provide therapy and healing for him.

The truth shall make him well.

Let's get him, Freepers! I mean help him. Hell! You know what I mean.

[Bonaparte]

Wasn't that a scream?

Kerry, the "hunter," doesn't even know that you can't legally hunt deer with a shotgun and that it's not even practical to do so. All quite apart from the sportsmanship aspect.

1. Kerry was stationed on the coast. Not mid-Mekong river.

2. Kerry' unit's patrol area was as close as 50 miles to the border. By air, in a straight line. Rivers aren't straight, by river distance he was more like 100 miles.

3. A different type of boat was used further up river, PBRs. Fiberglass hulled, water jet drive. Smaller.

4. Kerry was in command for only a few weeks. Why would the CIA, or Special Forces use or trust a newbie? And what commander would assign a new doofus like Kerry with such a task? No one, and no one did.

5. Such a insertion mission would, at a minimum, require a day of planning, a day of running fast up river, crossing and insertion at night, a day running back down river, and I would imagine a day for rest and refit. Where is the week Kerry did this? He was only running boats for a total of like 12-13 weeks. Furthermore he said he did this multiple times. So he needs multiple weeks.

6. What SF and or Seal unit did he work with? I'm sure they would be glad to confirm Kerrys lie, oops, missions.

Thanks for the link to the Mark Steyn story about Kerry's deer hunting style--ROTFL! Wonder if he crawls around on his stomach dove hunting? His retriever would think it was a new game and pounce him.

Glad we can laugh about it now; if he gets elected, we can wave bye-bye to our firearms. As they say, register to vote or register your firearms.

Look it is the rare SCambodian Christmas Hamster, Moi al Kerri. It appeared only once in SCambodia on Christmas in 1968 while on a secret CIA mission ordered by President Nixon the next year via a time machine.

[Grampa Dave]

Cueing the Queen of Diamonds!

[Bonaparte]

You got that right, Grani! Every one of us had better start sacrificing now and do what we can to get the vote out for Bush.

For your collection, and you know what to do with it. Thanks.

"Oh yeah, NOW I remember. I was on my SWIFT boat until I was picked up by a chopper without anybody knowing I was gone from my crew, and choppered into VietBodia for my secret mission. Yeah, that's the ticket."
