You have to wonder

If John Kerry can't address the charges made against him (by the Swift Boat Vets and others who question him as Senator), then how is this guy going to face threats from al Queda?

I don't accept the premise that he has not addressed this issue, but (for the sake of argument) assuming he has not I don't see any connection between that and facing threats from Al Queda.

Read again. I'm not connecting the Swift Boat Vets to al Queda.

I asked, if he can't address a simple issue that he should be able to knock out of the park (to resolve the seriousness of the charges being made against him), how is he going to tackle a REAL TOUGH issue like al Queda.

Is that better?

I understood you perfectly, but I don't see how it follows that if he has not addressed the swift boat accusations (which he has BTW) then he will not be able to deal with Al Queda. You have to wonder what the logical connection is between the two.

No, he hasn't. He has threatened, he has tried to sidestep them, but he has not answered them. Look at IE's link. READ IT and you'll see.

ONCE AGAIN, if he can't sweat the petty stuff, then how will he react to the IMPORTANT stuff?? Do you understand now?

If you still don't get it, there are smoke signals and semaphore available.

I understand. I think he's perfectly capable of handeling the "War on Terror".

If he can't even call them by their proper name, there is a lie right off the bat.

SIGN FORM 180, SENATOR!

One side comment, IE, because the Kerry page has already been discussed, and REFUTED:

Do you know how Swift Boats operate? They operate in flotillas of three to five boats. Those others may have not been on his boat, but they were 20-40 feet away. Don't get the idea that this is some kind of Apocolypse Now BS. His boat was NEVER alone. The Vets questioning his actions were right there with him.

It's not a lie when he knows that everyone knows that's not the actual name.

I can't seem to find it now, but when I originally found that link, the page that led me in started by Kerry pointing out the real name of SBVFT and saying something along the lines of "since they don't really stand for truth, let's call them what they really are" and he changed it to SBV for Bush.

So, having spelled it out that way, it isn't a lie.

Yes, I know about all that. And the people actually ON Kerry's boat - all but 2, one of whom is dead - stand on Kerry's side of the story. It's their word against the SBVFT. So far, I have seen many reasons to discredit the version presented by SBVFT and none to discredit the version by those on Kerry's boat.

But now we're getting off topic...

I've thought and wondered about the same thing, Admiralbill_gomec. If a candidate can "survive" the primaries and the general election in our country, he or she will hardly be phased by anything during his/her administration.

In the long run, I think that making an issue of John Kerry's service in Vietnam is a losing proposition for President Bush though. Oh that's right - President Bush has absolutely nothing to do with raising that issue :rotfl:

Benetil: Kerry is the one who is making such an issue with his Vietnam service.
