So, Oneill, and all the other decorated veterans who oppose Kerry are just political operatives because they are Rerpublicans, and the ones that a left-winged liberal media wonk roll out are valid war heros??? Only 13 of the 91 on your list were even in the Navy during VN as best as I can see, let alone served first hand with Kerry. Every one of the men in the Swiftboat group your liberal wonk tried to smear had first hand knowledge of that operation during the war, if not direct contact with Kerry. But, just because they may be Republicans, their testimony isn't valid?? But if we find that the 91 listed above are Democrats, well that different huh?? You're being led again Gimpy. Let's talk apples and apples.

I have been hearing and seeing negative stories and attacks on my friend and former PCF-44 Swift Boat commander, John Kerry, and I believe it's time to put them to rest.

> From the first day I met him, I knew that I had someone special whom I could trust in any situation, but especially under attack or in a firefight. Kerry always took care of his men. We needed each other to survive. We were truly brothers then, and we maintain that closeness to this day. I saw combat with Kerry, and there was not a time that he did not display courage, compassion, caring, and the best command decisions.

PS....Neil..........I AM REAL! It's your unwavering devotion to right-wing fanatics that appears to be somewhat dillusional at times!
