From Thurlow's statement: "After the mine exploded, leaving swift boat three dead in the water, John Kerry’s boat, which was on the opposite side of the river, fled the scene. US Army Special Forces officer Jim Rassmann, who was on Kerry’s boat at the time, fell off the boat and into the water. Kerry’s boat returned several minutes later—under no hail of enemy gunfire—to retrieve Rassmann from the river only seconds before another boat was going to pick him up.

Has anyone ever asked Rassman why he fell into the river to begin with? I suspect he fell overboard as Kerry poured on the power to flee the scene.

Rassman was eating a cookie on the back of the boat and fell off when Kerry fled the scene after #3 hit the mine.

I heard one version that said Rassman was blown off the boat by another explosion, after the #3 boat mine explosion. How many mine explosions were there that day?

Anyone noticed how carefully the present Kerry attack is worded. They keep on quoting Rassman as saying "he fell off the boat." They never say which boat!

As I understand it from another thread here, Rassman's credibility has been totally compromised because apparently on some occasions he said he fell off Kerry's boat, and in others he said he fell off another boat.
