Hear what Gardner (one of Kerry's crewmen) says about Kerry:
 
Gardner- Member of Kerry Swiftboat Full Bronze + PH + SCambodia Story

AUDIO BLOWS KERRY'S LIES OUT OF THE WATER.

KERRY OVERWROTE HIS AFTERACTION REPORT EMBELLISHING HIS REPORT FOR HIS SUPERIORS.

HE GOT BRONZE STAR AND PURPLE HEART DUE TO SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS.

I hadn't heard this; Gardner came back from DC with a situation report (SITREP) from the Navy archives for the incident with the sampan. Kerry declared there were 4 enemy who "jumped off the boat and ran ashore" in addition to those KIA. He also declared the small boat (30' long canoe like) had 5500 LBS of contraband (meaning the weight of a good size automobile).

Gardner has some kind of SitRep [Situation Report] that the Kerry supporters haven't seen. This SitRep apparently contradicts Kerry regarding the shooting of the family on a boat. The Rassman Bronze star/PH incident had to generate more than 1 SitRep - there were 5 swifts there - and these guys have the documents to prove that Kerry filed false reports.

Gardner: There is absolutely no way Kerry went up the river into Cambodia, because the river had barriers in it that made entry impossible.

Kerry is screwed.

"My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"

Have you heard about bookstores that will not only NOT stock the book, but will not special order it.

Then, there was a caller to Hannity that called the Borders Books and the manager told her that they were not selling them and were even recalling the ones they sold for a refund... something about the book being full of lies...? What is that all about? Liberal books are nothing but lies...will Michael Moore's DVD/VHS and companion books be recalled as well?

For the record... John Kerry is a bastard.


Can I say that on Free Republic?

Has anyone tried to download the after action reports on the Kerry website?

I was able to at work, but now I can't.

I wanted to read it and see if Kerry was the one who wrote it. It would back up Thurlow's story if he did.

Kerry has posted only the most favorable documents at his site.

Can you really ever trust a democrat with America's national security..?

How did Kerry come to write the after-action report on the bronze star day?

I understood that Thurlow was the senior officer. How did the job fall to Kerry?

Page 94 of Unfit For Command MUST be wrong.Kerry wounded on March 13,1969 and his request for reassignment, signed by the commander in An Thoi,was in Washington by March,17,1969 at 7:42 a.m. On last Sundays replay of the 1971 Dick Cavett Show, I heard Kerry say that he agonized over the decision for more than 2 weeks, and very reluctantly reached the decision to leave. Leaving his comrades in the heat of battle and all. What a crock. An SR-71 Blackbird couldn't have gotten it there any faster.

Any Borders or other book store that did such a thing would be open to a huge lawsuit for slander.

Kerry volunteered, and Thurlow agreed to let Kerry write it up... At least that the story as I understand it. It's well covered in other posts... Read 'em all, and follow the links. It's ALL here to be found.

I figured that. But are you having trouble downloading it?

I want to know if they have pulled it or if my system is crapping out on me.

Consistant with a true war hero. Traumatized and injured, he volunteered to do the paperwork.

Maybe Thurlow didn't like to do paperwork. It can take a long time to write a report and maybe Thurlow was beat after the incident. But ask him. None of these TV interviewers is worth a damn as an interviewer for the record.

I just checked Borders.com, and they have it listed, and you can order it either at your local store for pickup, or online, which sends you to Amazon.com (shipdate - 5-7 weeks). Sounds like that particular Borders the caller encountered has its own particular beef, and should be reported.
