Fox News Reports Bob, not John Kerry Was Vice-Chairman of Intelligence Committee
Fox News

Posted on 08/16/2004 3:23:09 PM PDT by what's up

Fox News just had a news segment where the Kerry campaign, in angry response to Bush claims that Kerry attended few Intelligence briefings, said that Kerry had at one time been the Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence campaign.

In response, the Bush people gleefully (Fox's word) returned fire by saying that it was BOB Kerrey, not JOHN Kerry who was Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence committee.

yeah and you should hear the John Kerry spokeman spinning this for all he's worth.

Talk about lies, lies and more damm lies.

Its dispicable how John Kerry would use a namesake and plagarize his record to his won ends/means. But heck, he's a Demo-rat after all and MOST of them are very fond of lying.

From the "Rapid Response Center" on Kerry's website--quick, someone more proficient than I take a "screenshot"--here (scroll down):

John Kerry is an Experienced Leader in the Intelligence Field – John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 8 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee. Kerry joined the Committee in early 1993 and served until early 2001. Among the areas closely investigated by John Kerry and the Intelligence Committee include global terrorism, world wide threats to U.S. national security, international espionage, weapons of mass destruction, drug trafficking, arms trafficking and nuclear security. John Kerry is also the former Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations and conducted several high profile Intelligence and International Security investigations. Additionally, Kerry is the author of the 1997 book ‘The New War’ which addressed the challenges of global terrorism and has served on the Foreign Relations Committee for more than eighteen years. One observer of Kerry wrote that, “Kerry plunged himself into the study of international crime and its implications for America.” In fact, the Kerry Commission uncovered the drug smuggling and arms trading in the Oliver North, Iran Contra scandal. “As chairman and then ranking Democrat on the Senate subcommittee on terrorism, narcotics, and international operations, John Kerry has been out front in pushing three presidential administrations to take seriously what is going on in the international underworld.” [Cleveland Plain Dealer, 11/6/96, 7/20/97; Boston Globe 6/28/97; The Guardian, 6/19/96]

The Kerry campaign has no fact checkers?

Maybe they don't think they need any factcheckers of their own, cause they think they have Annenberg FactCheck on their side.

Annenberg Factcheck releases documents like this

Republican-funded Group Attacks Kerry's War Record

Ad features vets who claim Kerry "lied" to get Vietnam medals. But one accuser quickly recants, and other witnesses disagree.

A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts. However, one of the veterans who appears in the ad has already recanted his principal accusation against Kerry, in an interview with the Boston Globe

More scrutiny will need to be given any of John Kerry's Senate related actions.

Several months ago, an ad was running locally. In it, JKerry touted his Vietnam service, being a 'successful' prosecutor, and 19 years in the Senate.

The ad went on to tout Kerry casting the deciding vote that got Clinton's 'Jobs Bill' Economic Package (1993) passed.

The Jobs Bill WAS held up by one Senator. That Senator wanted some perks. Finally, after getting what he wanted, he cast his vote and the Jobs Bill passed.

Except---it wasn't John Kerry who held up the Bill and cast the deciding vote. It was Bob KerrEy.

The Kerry campaign were challenged about this, as it was also on their website. It supposedly was taken down from their website, but the ad touting Kerry (rather than KerrEy) as casting the deciding vote continued to run several weeks afterward.

Kerry's Senate career is SO WEAK that he has to claim Bob KerrEy's Senate accomplishments as his own.

Been my Senator for 20 years, and I can say he makes Al Gore and Dukakus look like Einsteins.
He is totally an amateur, and his teams is mostly locals.

Actually, it's seared into my memory: The CIA secretly named him vice chairman on Christmas Eve, 1968.

Last I knew Ketchup Boy hadn't requested that the co-chairs of the intell committee make his attendance records for the closed hearings public. What's Kerry waiting for? Sandy Berger?
