Ahh, if Bush had only said this! Couldn't do that. Wouldn't be prudent. Dammit! Repeat after me Mr President: "I personally don't know much about John Kerry's record in Vietnam beyond what he constantly brags about. I personally only know what he did when he came home and smeared his fellow soldiers and negotiated with the enemy. I didn't think that was the right thing to do, but it was his choice. But now those who know firsthand about what he claims to have done in Vietnam are recounting all the details and they ought to be allowed to speak, including those gentlemen who support his version of the events. The American people will decide who's telling the truth and who's honorable. I have not, and will not, tell anyone what or what not to say. And John Kerry isn't going to tell me what to say either. "This is a free country you know, and it seems John Kerry has a real issue with that. If he wants to run on a Vietnam-war platform and then come running and complaining to me when inconvenient facts come out that's his choice, but his Vietnam-era past and all the eyewitness contradictions are not my problem. I'm not going to shut down free speech so Mr Kerry can feel better about himself or what have you. He should ask Congress or the courts if he wants free speech curtailed. And if he wants to be President, I would suggest he just spend more energy on current threats to America and less on threats to his Vietnam legacy. The American people don't want a legacy-builder worried about what people think, they want a leader. Now I need to go back to obsessing about the current war. Thank you." junkyardblog.transfinitum.net
