CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- Former Republican Sen. Bob Dole suggested Sunday that John Kerry apologize for past testimony before Congress about alleged atrocities during the Vietnam War and joined critics of the Democratic presidential candidate who say he received an early exit from combat for "superficial wounds."

Dole also called on Kerry to release all the records of his service in Vietnam.

Bob Dole is AWESOME! I love him coming out of nowhere to become Bush's secret weapon.

Funny you don't see former Democrat candidates Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and George McGovern rushing to Kerry's aid.

John kerry testified UNDER OATH to war crimes - he should be tried, convicted and punished.

The time has come to laugh this Clown back to the land of Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy.

Repeat after me "John Kerry, Reporting for Bootey".

Dole brought out the "apology" card... good for him. In addition to demanding that Kerry hand over his military records, we should be demanding that he apologize for his disgraceful remarks.

I am glad these msm news services are reporting on the Dole/CNN comments. This is not the kind of response Kerry wanted when he said "bring it on."

good play for our team.

The Dems have the media loving them right now by being able to go nuts with their "GOP front" claims.

This will help move away from that to the fact that "wow...now even Bob Dole is ripping Kerry...maybe something is to this."

They were ignoring it for awhile (then again, it is the weekend). But, it has now hit the AP in time for making into at least some late papers tomorrow.

But the Post should have described Dole's wound's in WWII as very severe, multiple, and life-threatening. Dole shakes hands with his left because his right arm is shot to Hell thanks to Germans in Italy.
