Novak on Kerry’s first Purple Heart
CNN's Crossfire | 8/26/04 | Bob Novak

Posted on 08/26/2004 1:58:18 PM PDT by YankeeFan

Watching Crossfire on CNN.

Novak implied that one of the two men on the boat with Kerry during his first Purple Heart will come forward to contradict Kerry’s story.

He wouldn’t tell Carville the name of the person, but said it would come out soon.

Should be fun.

I disagree with on MSM going after Kerry. They might know he is going to lose with his implosion but they will not put up their white flag. They have too much to lose. Hillary and company know this too. If the Dems get anhilated in this election, there goes Congress, the court system, Supreme Court etc.

They will fight to the end for Kerry to at least make it a close election.

This is the key passage...

Then who was the OinC on the Boston Whaler?

Here's what John O'Neill said about that in his interview with David Limbaugh (emphasis mine):

John O’Neill: We have to distinguish two things. First, two crewmen, Zaldonis and Runyon, both say that they did not see any hostile fire and do not know if there was any or not. That is my understanding of their current story. At least that is how they are quoted in Tour of Duty and other books. They say that they and Kerry were the only ones on the boat and they say Schachte was not present on the boat. Now, that is a different matter from what they told Dr. Letson and Grant Hibbard all those years ago. David: As to Schachte or just as to the hostile fire?

John O’Neill: As to the hostile fire.

David: Okay.

John O’Neill: Admiral Schachte places himself on the boat. He was the acting Judge Advocate General of the Navy and was an Admiral in the Navy. In fact, the policies would have required his presence because an officer in charge had to be present on the boat. In addition to Schachte placing himself there, there are a variety of other witnesses that all place him on that same boat.

David: First hand knowledge witnesses, right?

John O’Neill: Correct, first hand knowledge witnesses. People on the PCF that accompanied the boat, as well as people back at base at that time. People like Ted Peck who was a fellow officer in charge of a boat.

So now we have placed Schachte back on the skimmer with Kerry on 2 December and his testimony becomes that much stronger. And Schachte insists that no hostile fire occurred on 2 December, negating the entire basis for Kerry's Purple Heart. Meanwhile, Kerry's explanations become more and more tortured, and they still refuse to release the entirety of the records. They have not even produced an after-action report for 2 December that would support any indication of inbound enemy fire. Why? From all indications, it doesn't exist.

Is Novak really this dumb? To give away information they can use to head off any problem by getting the guy to recant.

For an implosion, Kerry has not dropped much (2-4 points in polls or so).

Gardner wasn't on the skimmer with sKerry. This was the one-time, one-night mission that sKerry volunteered for, on Dec. 2 I believe, during the month he was in training on the swift. sKerry has repeatedly stated that this was the scariest night of his life.

Think it will reach the high water mark and the DNC will meet in special session (like they did in summer 1972 to nominate willy-nilly Sarge Shriver for VP) that is to say, before it's too late and ask Kerry to leave the ticket, elevate Edwards and pick Hitlery as it's running mate? Wouldn't THAT be something???

Keep in mind that John O'Neil supprted Edwards for president, not George W. Bush. This may be exactly what he want.

Wow. Wiffle-ball loser Crispy Matthews is gonna go ballistic!!

Maybe he will attack this crew-mate who contradicts Kerry, and demand he retract his story.

Nah. On second thought. Matthews only attacks women. He aint got the swinging marbles to stand up to a man.

After all, if Kerry is not telling the truth, then it WAS self-inflicted wound.

Only Kerry's EGO, and Gore-like thirst to become President since before his shaving days, will get in the way and will keep him on the ticket till their electoral college disaster on 2 November.

Nope, not Gardner, he wasn't there on the Skimmer (Boston Whaler) when skerry fired a grenade launcher at the nearby shore, hit a rock & fragged his own arm with a tiny rose thorn piece of shrapnel. (which the skerry one had to carefully guard to keep it from falling out before getting back to the mothership so the medico could remove & report it as a skerry PH candidate, which the medico refused to do.)

This is the Rich Lowery (of NR) story he has been teasing us all with today.

I agree. The LSM want their power back.

It's really about them and their taking down of President Bush.
