XXXXX ~~~EMPIRE STRIKES BACK AGAINST ANTI-KERRY VETS XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU AUG 19, 2004 17:45:25 ET More than 3 weeks after the DRUDGE REPORT began shooting up flares warning of an impending campaign battle surrounding former Vietnam veterans who would not support John Kerry for president -- the media empire strikes back! In a series of world exclusives beginning in late July, this space outlined and detailed the coming book UNFIT FOR COMMAND -- a book which now sits at the top of the charts -- and the top of Friday's NY TIMES. TIMES editor Bill Keller has reserved the lead of Page One for "the story of how swift boat veterans with a grievance were found by Republicans looking to tarnish Kerry's image," newsroom sources tell DRUDGE. "A modern day tale of the creation of a political attack machine," declares TIMES reporter Jim Ruttenburg. The TIMES plans to piggyback on comments made by John Kerry on Thursday against allegations that he exaggerated his combat record in Vietnam. Kerry accused President Bush of using a Republican front group "to do his dirty work." "Some of the veterans have recanted their stories and made charges that military records prove untrue," the TIMES explains in its 3,500-world splash, which has been previewed by DRUDGE. Impacting late Thursday. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge
