#1 He was in Cambodia before he wasn't.

#2 I'm eager to see what else is in the book.

I read the first chapter online (can dig up the URL if anyone cares). It's all about Kerry's unearned Purple Hearts. It closes with the Christmas story. Even if all the swift boat stuff gets torn to shreds (which I don't think it will), there's still this and, I imagine, plenty of other lies and flip-flops that will be exposed.

Expect the media to focus on other stuff, and pray that people ignore them and find out the truth on their own.

#3 The DNC and media is focusing exclusively on the fact that noboby who authored the book served *under* Kerry. (All the people served WITH Kerry - on other boats on IN HIS CHAIN OF COMMAND).

#4 Christmas in Cambodia? Didn't the Dead Kennedy's do that one?

#5 Here's another interesting Kerry tidbit (from NRO's The Corner):

WHAT KERRY DID [KJL]
Listen, he wasn't president on Sept. 11, and I am not questioning his reflexes or reactions, but it is worth noting what Kerry did do on Sept. 11, 2001. Here's what he told Larry King: "...And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle's office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon..."

Kudos to Red State for finding that. And for noting: "It should be noted that the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing 'nobody could think.'"

#6 By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing 'nobody could think.'"

Between him, Tom Daschele and Barbara Boxer, I don't think it is news that they can't think.

#7 Tom Daschele, Barbara Boxer, and John Kerry? Not enough brain cells there to form a coherent thought, let alone take action. But there is hope! Tommy boy and Babs are both up for elections and maybe they wonât face any of these hard decisions anymore.

#8 Can you imagine a newly retired 1st LT coming forward tomorrow to denounce the war in Iraq and announce they he had been across the border into Syria or Iran to hunt terrorists. I personally would immediately get out the checkbook and write a fat one to GW's campaign. Interdicting enemy supply lines and attacking his bases is a good thing. If Kerry were correct about us being in Cambodia in X-mas 68, wouldn't it mean that Johnson was playing to win - unfortunately that wasn't the case.
