uh...gee lazzie...there's no proof in there. "To this day I don't know what happened on August 2 and August 4, 1964, in the Tonkin Gulf," he said to Giap. "I think we may have made two serious misjudgments. ... Did what we thought was an attack on August 4, 1964, the so-called second attack -- did it occur?" Giap replied, "On the fourth of August, there was absolutely nothing." Reporters were ushered from the room soon after, but McNamara later quoted Giap as saying he believed U.S. surveillance ships were trying to provoke an attack so President Johnson would have an excuse to step up U.S. involvement. McNamara, speaking later to reporters, disputed that interpretation: "That point that Giap made is absolutely without foundation." Now how stupid is THAT. To offer the above as (LOL!!!!) "proof"

That's some seriously twisted logic! Leaving aside the comparison of the lies that got us into Vietnam with the lies that got us into Iraq, how are Kerry's Purple Hearts any more suspect than tens of thousands of other Purple Hearts? If he used them to get out of 'Nam, then went home and protested what he thought was an unjust, unjustified war, more power to him! purpleheart.org According to this, Kerry deserved every Purple heart he got. Now Dumbya probably deserves MORE than the one DUI we know he was awarded!
