MorphRC Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 [b]Bush supports war smear push: Kerry By New York Correspondent PHILLIP COOREY 21aug04[/b] JOHN Kerry accused US President George W. Bush yesterday of secretly supporting vicious attacks on his war record by a group of disgruntled Vietnam veterans. Senator Kerry launched the offensive after a fortnight of enduring advertisements, speeches and a book by a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which claims he did not deserve his two bravery medals and three Purple Hearts for being wounded in Vietnam. His accusations come amid revelations that undermine the claims of the group. Larry Thurlow, a group member who claims Senator Kerry lied about being under enemy fire when rescuing a man in a river, won a bravery medal for actions during the same incident. The Navy citation says Mr Thurlow had "enemy bullets flying around him". The group is funded by wealthy businessman and Republican donor Bob J. Perry, from Mr Bush's home state of Texas. Senator Kerry said yesterday the group was "a front for the Bush campaign". "And the fact that the President won't denounce what they're up to tells you everything you need to know. He wants them to do his dirty work," he said. Senator Kerry pointed out his actions were documented in the Navy citations with each medal. He turned the heat back on Mr Bush's record of dodging the draft and not turning up for National Guard duty. "If he wants to have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: bring it on," Senator Kerry said. The Bush-Cheney '04 campaign denied any involvement with the "Swifties", as they are known. But Mr Bush again refused to denounce the group.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yeah...the best he can come up with is that Bush is secretly supporting it...which means he has no proof and that it's just a conspiracy theory. In other news, John Kerry said on his resume that he got a "V" for "Valor" on his Silver Star, but they don't give those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMD's were found, but not in stockpiles. 2. Saddam still broke the UN resolutions. 3. There may have been stockpiles even days before the war began...shipped off to Jordan.

White Knight Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Acually weapons of WMD were sold to terrorist groups World Wide, which is why we found them not in stockpiles but in small doses, in Iraq, Middle East, Korea, Africa, and some parts of Europe. Which explains why Saddam didn't have them when we got there, He was bluffing, that he was going to use them against the USA, and he sold them to terrorists who more likely have a chance to do some major damage to the US and its Allies.
