The Opinionated Bastard

So Kerry sent Max Cleland (lost 3 limbs in Vietnam) to Texas to try to pull Bush into the Swift Vets quagmire by delivering him a letter. (Yes, I’m using the Q-word intentionally)

Here’s Kerry’s side.

Here’s Bush’s response

Here’s my take: I really have no idea about the SBVT thing. Kerry’s been caught in some misstatements, and correlating all the information, its pretty clear that there’s a reason for the term “Fog of War”. Some of Kerry’s eyewitness accounts don’t agree with the official Naval records any more then the SVBT accounts. In fact, it seems like the official accounts are the least accurate of any of them.

However, I think its a new low to send a cripple to do your fighting for you. Kerry needs to call a press conference, not send Cleland on secret missions to Cambodia er, Texas.
