Republicans Say Kerry Must Release Military Records
Tuesday, April 20, 2004 11:23 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Opening a new campaign front, President Bush's Republican Party on Tuesday called on Democrat John Kerry to release his Vietnam-era military records.

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie made the demand after the Boston Globe reported the Kerry campaign was refusing to give up more of Kerry's military records even though he had promised to do so on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

Kerry has cited his military service during the Vietnam war as a major reason why he has the strength and fortitude to serve as president.

Kerry, a Massachusetts senator and the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, became a leader of the anti-war movement after returning from Vietnam where he was decorated with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. He served in the Navy from 1966 to 1970.

Bush surrendered his National Guard files from the Vietnam war period in February to try to stamp out election-year charges from Democrats that he shirked his duty.

Those documents offered no new evidence to place Bush in Alabama during the latter part of 1972, the period when Democrats claimed he was basically absent without leave.

Gillespie said Bush had followed through on a pledge made on "Meet the Press" and that Kerry should do the same.

"When President Bush committed to release all his military records on the same program, he kept his word. John Kerry should do the same. Voters aren't stupid, and he shouldn't treat us as if we are," Gillespie said in remarks prepared for the Lucas County Lincoln Day dinner in Lucas County, Ohio. wireservice.wired.com

<<If you look back at my posts you'll see I am also critical of Clinton for not having an energy policy.>>

Did you follow my link and read the Bush/Cheney energy policy? Or are you like the Sierra club that made 17 suggestions, 16 of which went in to the policy, then bitched because the 17th didn't make it?

<<However Clinton did not come up with the Mars idiocy.>>

Bush didn't say tomorrow. Space exploration has moved technology in leaps and bounds. Why not inspire to move forward?
