#2 People's perspective and memory change over time. A written interview from 1970 or his personal letters give a look into the character of the man as he was then, but I would love to have an interviewer ask the following question about Vietnam.

Senator, all of us are aware of the many statements you made in the early 70's about the Vietnam Was from the perspective of a young Navy O-3. Now that you are a much older Senator and candidate for the presidency has your perspective on the Vietnam War changed at all? If so, in what way have your views changed?

#3 Frank, I just found a Human Events article called EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Ten Worst Government Programs . It slams most of our favorites.

#4 Frank, good catch. Now let's see if any US sources pick it up.

SH: the crusher in that article seems to me to be the lack of constitutional authoirty for most fo the programs listed.

#5 Sorry to burst your bubbles, but this means nothing. Even war supporters who are determined to go might want to defer for personal reasons. It does not always have to do with cowardice or objection.

M****cript! Crud! Drat!

#6 "In Vietnam, John Kerry proved his patriotism beyond question. Everyone knows that."

"It was after the war and in the Senate that Kerry proved what a worthless piece of crap he really is."

#7 If Drudge reported it. Hannity, Rush and Savage now have a topic for Monday's discussion... Bet it sticks better than anthing Kerry's thrown Bush's way recently!

#8 Kerry the war hero that threw someone elses medals in an act of bravado - but now they hang proudly on his wall. snicker...

Korora - you'd be right if Dem's hadn't been so critical of Bush's decision to join the National Guard to avoid duty.

double snicker - what goes around comes around.
