KERRY'S WAR VS. KERRYAnd the beat goes on....the ediorial continues to discuss the Combat "V", Schachte, etc.Former Navy Secretary John Lehman denied at week's end having written the Silver Star citation that appears on John Kerry's campaign Web site over Lehman's signature, dealing the Democrat's presidential campaign another stunning blow.
Which makes us wonder: Does Kerry still believe that running on his Vietnam will gain him the White House?
Kerry's Silver Star is the most prestigious of his Vietnam decorations — it's the nation's third-highest for combat valor — but there are at least three official versions of how he earned it.

Kerry's Silver Star is the most prestigious of his Vietnam decorations — it's the nation's third-highest for combat valor — but there are at least three official versions of how he earned it.
The most recent — and the one with the most florid rhetoric — allegedly was signed by Lehman. But the former Navy secretary told the Chicago Sun-Times Friday: "I never saw it. I never signed it it. I never approved it."
Nevertheless, there it is on Kerry's Web site, over Lehman's signature.
It's a bewilderment, to put it mildly.
