I hope that there are no vietnam vets there and the republicans concentrate on kerry's weaknesses during his legislative career, not his strengths. Vietnam vets against kerry cannot offset the kerry swift boat crew who were there with him in battle. The fact that kerry came home to lead the anti-war movement was his right especially given the fact that he had served honorably. The vietnam war was a wretched war. Hundreds of thousands were killed for nothing. Millions others were left maimed. Its a chapter better relegated to our history. To let Kerry exploit it this way is only heightened by challenging his genuine exploits. If no one pays attention his obscession with vietnam will begin to negatively effect him and he/we will be forced to confront his mediocre senate career where his only achivement relates to MIA and recognition of vietnam which takes us right back to kerrys obscession of vietnam.

White House: Intelligence Behind Alert 'Chilling', Not Old local6.com POSTED: 1:36 pm EDT August 3, 2004 UPDATED: 1:40 pm EDT August 3, 2004 DALLAS -- The White House says the intelligence behind the latest terror alert is "chilling" -- and not old, as critics have suggested. Press Secretary Scott McClellan says it's "wrong and quite irresponsible" to call the information outdated. He says it was updated as recently as this year, and he says al-Qaida has a history of planning attacks well in advance, then updating plans just before striking. McClellan spoke to reporters on Air Force One as President Bush flew to Texas. Officials have acknowledged that some of the documents found in Pakistan that prompted the alert are undated, and may be pre-9/11. The documents reflected surveillance of financial institutions in New York, New Jersey and Washington. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has suggested the alert -- right after the Democratic convention -- was timed for political effect, but Homeland Secretary Tom Ridge denies that, saying, "We don't do politics in the Department of Homeland Security."
