And now the end is near...and so I face..the final curtain...
FS
This is my last Swift Boat Veteran for "Truth" post for awhile. I actually hope it's the last one EVER. In the last three days it seems that this organization got what it wanted...the media spotlight. And with that spotlight came truth shone into the dark corners of their allegations and accusations.
Two more news stories emerged in the last 24 hours that have put the nail into the coffin for these clowns:
Chicago Tribune Editor William Rood has written a piece that completely backs Kerry's entire account of the Silver Star. Rood notes that there were 3 Swift Boats there that day and only two commanders are alive to tell the story: himself and Kerry.
Oregonian and Swift Boat Veteran for "Truth" Alfred French has admitted that he actually witnessed none of the combat incidents in question, he has relied on accounts from other individuals. This after calling Kerry a "liar" in the Swift Boaters TV ad.
I feel certain this isn't the last we've heard from these guys. But in terms of cred, they are completely bone dry. Kevin Drum has also has a great series of pieces on Kerry's medals vs the Swift Boaters as well.
And now the cherry on the cake:
Kerry's new TV ad
