DESPITE THE continuing gripes of his critics, records released this week show that Senator John Kerry served honorably in Vietnam. The documents should put to rest claims that Kerry misrepresented his military record in the presidential race. But Kerry's failure to respond to the smear campaign launched against him last summer lent credibility to its real objective: to impugn his equally honorable opposition to the war.
John O'Neill, a Houston lawyer and Kerry's adversary on the war since 1971, acknowledged as much in a telephone interview Wednesday. ''We produced seven commercials," he said of his anti-Kerry group, now called Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. ''Only one dealt with Vietnam activities." O'Neill was incensed by Kerry's memorable testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, in which the young veteran, clad in a combat shirt, criticized the war.
Kerry has said that he may have used a poor choice of words when he cited other veterans' reports of atrocities as being ''in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan." But his basic analysis was sound: Vietnamese and Americans were dying needlessly because the war was a mistake, and US policymakers allowed it to continue even though they were aware that their strategy for victory was failing.

I think the 'triplets' are being punished by Mom and Dad. They have been separated into different rooms w/no computer. Probably no Saturday a.m. cartoons either.
KERRY'S BOAT? stole it from someone ELSE with talent.
MY talent is posting the great stuff of others. I am an 'encourager'. Not many of us around, someone's got to do it, sigh.

>>>I have realized that the only reason Kerry delayed authorizing the release of these records is that he was negotiating with the Defense Department demanding that they sanitize his record before release. That appears to be the only plausible explanation for the delay.
DOD no longer has his records. They belong to the National Archive now.
Kerry and the Dems continue their drumbeat of defeat, and the word 'quagmire' is beginning to come 'round again...
They and the fairy countries that condemn the US and Abu Gharab and Gitmo are enabling this war's terrorists to seize the mo and keep fighting. More of our soldiers will die, because Kerry and the Dems wanted to find something for the next election.
wow, thanks!
Thanks for the ping!
Nope sorry. If there was a signed 180, it would have been available through the FOIA.
