Kerry's Military Records Released

[Dr Ron]

Records do not support Swift Boat Liars:

"The records, which the Navy Personnel Command provided to the Globe, are mostly a duplication of what Kerry released during his 2004 campaign for president, including numerous commendations from commanding officers who later criticized Kerry's Vietnam service."

1. Too late, but still good to hear.

[Crankie Avalon]

2. Why the hell didn't he just release them back then...

...he allowed the lies to go unanswered long enough for them to harden into something that will never entirely go away, now, no matter what the reality.

3. He did release the same records during the campaign

but I don't know why he didn't just sign the damn 180.

I bet this still won't shut up the Swifties.

12. He released the same records during the campaign?

So, why didn't we hear about it, right after the Swift Boat liar ads, instead of hearing about now?

[grumpy old fart]

4. This is really a big mystery Why did he allow this to linger?

He could have sent yet another torpedo into the speedo liers....

5. Yup, and his medals are still real and Brush's, O'liely and Limpbaugh's

are still imaginary and nonexistent even in their "created reality".

6. And they still can't find George's records????

8. George Bush did so get a medal

The Commander Cuckoo Banannas Tin-Plated AWOL-And-Got-Away-With-It
Extreme-Ultimate Chicken-Hawkism" Medal, complete with clusters of My Pet Goat droppings. Minted on 9/11.

7. & We Want These-----NOW-------Why???

They Swiftbots are still doing their victory laps, taking faked-up lie-detectors, claiming not to be politically motivated--in general, gloating it up. Sure wish Gentleman John had unloaded his big guns on them when it mattered. He's just earning more Purple Hearts with the wounds continuing to be inflicted.

9. I just don't understand this

Kerry knew what was in those records. Swift Boaters and right wing media types were pounding him on hiding something. Kerry could have blown those bastards right out of the water with this.

Why the hell didn't he?

10. Because this would have changed nothing

Nothing was going to stop them, unfortunately, as most of these things were already known and did change nothing,

11. The cult has covered this...

The pod people in Freeperville have their marching orders....

posted on a thread in early 2004 that Kerry had a mole in the DOD who was slowly and surreptitiously sanitizing his file. Looks like the job has been completed

13. Kerry is a good guy, but he should never run for president again

this is just another example of how weak of a candidate he is. Letting something like that hang around when all he had to do was sign a form is insane. He should continue to do the good work he does in the senate but he should not run for president in 08; let someone that will win do it.
