Vetted 1000 times BS to you - was kerry in Cambodia on Christmas Eve? "BS. Kerry's war record has been vetted 1000 times detail by detail for 30+ years starting with the FBI and Nixon White House. Kerry doesn't like to talk about it because no Vietnam Vet likes to talk about killing, seeing the dying and being wounded in free fire zones. "

BS. Kerry's war record has been vetted 1000 times detail by detail for 30+ years There's a big difference now. Kerry has never before been subjected to national scrutiny in a campaign for President. After all, he originally let Massachusetts voters think he was Irish, and that misimpression took a while to disspell. The fact that the Eastern liberals kept re-electing him along with T. Kennedy doesn't mean he's ever really faced true scrutiny. I think that's why Kerry failed to take seriously the swiftvet challenge to his military record and allowed--- and engaged in--- the ceaseless denigration of Bush's military service, including the AWOL charge that you yourself have posted about literally dozens of times just since Friday. A certain degree of arrogance results from having gotten away with things in the past. That's why the Kerry camp thought nothing of focusing his qualifications for POTUS on his abbreviated military career. The truth is that Kerry and his handlers made a mistake. Although my primary POV re: the swiftvets is that everyone should have an opportunity to exercise their First AMendment rights---not just the pro-Kerry 527's and the Michael Moores of the world----, I find myself curious as to the re-issued citations for one or more of Kerry's medals. (I think it was the Silver Star--the one that had a "V" despite the fact that such medals were not issued with "v's".) What's up with that?
