Hmmm....
That cover jacket shown on the Drudge page is priceless. A thumbs up and a fist, is this sign language for flip-flop?Originally posted by Steve
LCDR Elliot may have retracted his statement, as reported by the Boston Globe. But can I throw out this recent tidbit here, posted tonight on Drudge, that shows a definite link between the Kerry campaign and The Globe? It certainly sheds some doubt on the veracity of Elliot's redaction.
Hmmm....

On Hannity and Colmes tonight, that fact was borne out; there were 8 out of 12 Naval personnel who were in Kerry's boat squadron - serving on sister(?) boats alongside Kerry's craft.Originally posted by Steve
5 years as a POW would probably convince anyone that the "only good VC is a dead VC!" No wonder McCain does not support the ads.
As for the many mentions in the article that the men in the ad did not serve on Kerry's boat, that is clearly spin. So they weren't on his boat; they were still part of Kerry's group and would have been very familiar with his leadership and character. The three boats operated as a team, not in a vacuum. They would absolutely know of his actions during any encounter! Come on!

So, yes, they would have seen Kerry's actions, and the story does appear to be truthful.
You know I had to sit there and watch the entire segment to see where it was going to end up.Originally posted by Steve
But Susan Estrich still wants to know if they were "ON" Kerry's boat. I guess when you are on a different boat, even when working together in close proximity as seen in Kerry's movies, you still don't know who the other boat teams are. That's what the spin would have you believe.

...Since all of you seem to despise and belittle any person/country who questions our CinC's wisdom I'm sure you feel the same way.
If any of you had ever been in the blackshoe navy and in combat you may understand what it means to be on a boat/ship and understanding your CO's actions, as opposed to watching the actions from afar, if you don't you have no room to talk!
It appears that Captain George Elliott agrees with me. From his Aug 6, 2004 affidavit linked to earlier...Originally posted by ylexot
I'm saying you can't run and be poised to shoot at the same time. That's what Kerry claimed. If he shot a guy with a rocket launcher in the back...fine. Admit it. Don't deny it so adamantly. To deny it is dishonest.
While I suppose the fleeing, wounded Viet Cong could have been backpedaling, I have never heard this faintly suggested by anyone, and I do not understand why he would have to turn around to face Kerry if he were fleeing backward. The difference is not material to any of my opinions. Had I known the facts, I would not have recommended Kerry for the Silver Star for simply pursuing and dispatching a single wounded, fleeing Viet Cong.
I would prefer him over a person that has not served our country in a war... I would prefer a person who flip-flops on issues that dont cost peoples lives that ones that do.... I would prefer someone in the oval office that doesnt accuse others of flip-flopping then flip-flop theirself. I would prefer someone in office that knows what he is doing to american citizens by starting a war... I want someone to run our country with international expierence, i want someone to run our country that will not needlessly put americans in harms way.Originally posted by penncam
I move we jump to the inexorable truth on this matter and admit that J.F. Kerry is an unexcusable flip-flopping, perpetual opportunist, who's record in Congress is shaky at best, who gains power, notoriety and fame by marrying up the food chain, who conveniently trots out his fellow war comrades to bolster up his checkered past in armed conflict, as well as 8mm movies he shot with a camera he purchased in Camh Ron Bay for that expressed purpose, and ask ourselves one question:
(and it's not "Do ya feel lucky, huh, punk?")
No, it's really simple - Is this the kind of man we all want to see in the Oval Office?
