John Kerry: I'm Now Prepared to Fight Off Swift Boat Veterans
Tuesday, November 06, 2007

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, perhaps preparing to get back into the presidential ring one day, claims he's now armed with materials that will make war record critics from his 2004 presidential campaign go running tail between legs.

The 63-year-old Democratic senator told The Patriot-Ledger on Tuesday that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group of Navy servicemen who served with Kerry and criticized his record in Vietnam, will be revealed as liars.

"We have put together a documented portfolio that frankly puts their lies in such a total light of absurdity and indecency, that should they ever rear their ugly heads again, we have every single 't’ crossed and 'i’ dotted, and I welcome that in a sense,'' Kerry said after addressing Boston's South Shore Chamber of Commerce. "It’s a shame we weren’t able to produce all that at the time.''

Kerry, who is up for re-election next year for a fifth term in the U.S. Senate, added that he regrets that he was slow to counter accusations against him during the 2004 presidential campaign, and thinks that Republicans have descended into pure deception to win votes.

just goes to show you how slow a Kerry administration would have been at getting anything done.

Especially when all he had to do is release his military record and if he was telling the truth he would have been vindicated. The fact that he continues to want to hide his record from the world supports what the swifties were saying. Especially considering THEY WERE THERE!

Someone whose story changes every time its told v someone who is consistant and I am going to believe the consistant person. That person isnt John Kerry.

I believe the French have a phrase for this - l'esprit de l'escalier - "the spirit of the stairs", it's that situation where you've been bested in a verbal joust and as you're walking away a few minutes later a real zinger comes in to your mind.....too bad....too late. Kerry is an idiot. He should have seen these lying bastards coming at him in the campaign, he did but he discounted their influence, he thought the American people would see through the lies.

no. they are liars.

thurlow claimed that Kerry never took enemy fire on the day he won his bronze star.... oddly enough, thurlow won a bronze star for that very same engagement, and HIS bronze star citation specifically mentions enemy fire taken by the formation. liar.

o'neil called kerry unfit for command in 2004, yet, in Vietnam, he called him the best officer in Coastal Division 11. and a quarter of a century later, in Boston harbor, during a Kerry for Senate campaign rally, he called him a hero and a great leader. liar.

those are the facts.

Kerry was in Vietnam for three months when the rest of his crew had to do a full year tour of duty.

Why, or how, did Kerry get out of Vietnam so quickly?

Was it because he won all those shiny ribbons and medals so the military was rewarding him for a job well done?

Or maybe Kerry's commanding officers thought he was a liability and wanted him gone.

Anyway, he got his Silver Star for shooting an unarmed boy in the back as he was running away.

He got three purple hearts for minor scrapes

Wounded three times and never missed a day of combat due to his injuries. Amazing.

Kerry won a Bronze Star for his actions that day

But Thurlow's military records, portions of which were released yesterday to The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act, contain several references to "enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire" directed at "all units" of the five-boat flotilla. Thurlow won his own Bronze Star that day, and the citation praises him for providing assistance to a damaged Swift boat "despite enemy bullets flying about him."

it really doesn't matter. Kerry will never be the democratic nominee for president.

he did a terrible job counterpunching when he was subjected to rovian tactics.

I can clearly document clear and unambiguous LIES from two of the swiftie's stars, but who cares? RSR and his ilk will never admit that it was a smear campaign, and I grow weary of the entire affair.

In the final analysis, it is just more obfuscation and misdirection from a group of folks who really doesn't want to talk about how badly they are doing in national polls and how badly it looks like they will get their asses kicked in '08.

From what I have read, the Washington post story you linked was based on the fraudulent after action report Kerry wrote

Then John Boy got nailed by his own lies

Kerry's war journal
contradicts medal claim?
At least 9 days after Purple Heart,
wrote he had not 'been shot at yet'

Posted: August 17, 2004
8:00 p.m. Eastern


By Art Moore
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com

A previously unnoticed passage in John Kerry's approved war biography, citing his own journals, appears to contradict the senator's claim he won his first Purple Heart as a result of an injury sustained under enemy fire

Kerry, who served as commander of a Navy swift boat, has insisted he was wounded by enemy fire Dec. 2, 1968, when he and two other men took a smaller vessel, a Boston Whaler, on a patrol north of his base at Cam Ranh Bay.

But Douglas Brinkley's "Tour of Duty," for which Kerry supplied his journals and letters, indicates that as Kerry set out on a subsequent mission, he had not yet been under enemy fire.

While the date of the four-day excursion on PCF-44 [Patrol Craft Fast] is not specified, Brinkley notes it commenced when Kerry "had just turned 25, on Dec. 11, 1968," which was nine days after the incident in which he claimed he had been wounded by enemy fire.

Brinkley recounts the outset of that mid-December journey, which included a crew of radarman James Wasser, engineman William Zaladonis, gunner's mate Stephen Gardner and boatswain's mates Drew Whitlow and Stephen Hatch:


"They pulled away from the pier at Cat Lo with spirits high, feeling satisfied with the way things were going for them. They had no lust for battle, but they also were were not afraid. Kerry wrote in his notebook, 'A cocky feeling of invincibility accompanied us up the Long Tau shipping channel because we hadn't been shot at yet, and Americans at war who haven't been shot at are allowed to be cocky.'"
The diary entry apparently confirms assertions made by Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, a group of more than 250 vets opposing his presidential candidacy who served in the Naval operation that patrolled the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta area controlled by North Vietnam.

Kerry has made his four months of service in Vietnam a central theme in his campaign, arguing his purported war heroics help qualify him to be commander in chief.

In the swift-boat group's newly published book, "Unfit for Command," authors John O'Neill, who took over command of Kerry's boat, and Jerome Corsi assert the wound for which Kerry received his medal actually was caused by him firing an M-79 grenade launcher too close, "causing a tiny piece of shrapnel (one to two centimeters) to barely stick in his arm."

Since you have never won a medal for valor, you might be unaware of this...but, before they hand you the medal, they read the citation. Thurlow's citation specifically included references to enemy fire. He knew BEFORE he took the medal, and he could have easily returned it and claimed he did not deserve it under those supposedly inaccurate circumstances. He didn't return it then.... he NEVER returned it. And you, nor he, has any reasonable explanation...but I would love to see you keep tapdancing:dancing :dance:
