the Admiral embarassed himself it was so bad I felt sorry that he had to come to try to sell his story, he never spoke to anyone, besides Kerry's staff

John O'Neill did his usual fantastic job. Well, maybe there is ONE lawyer who might make it into Heaven.

John O'Neill was wonderful.

This is the third time I've seen him be interviewed and each time he's come off as very stong, determined and backed by faith in the truth.

And he'll get better as he gets more and more of these under his belt.

Has Tony Rose called yet? Brian Lamb? Those are the venues where you can get some SERIOUS, in depth conversation.

Excellent interview. Wolf tried to lead O'Neill away from the subject with comments about the co-author but he deftly brought the subject back to John Kerry.

When O'Neill's account is finally proved to the general population and media then I believe there should be a petition to have him awarded the Medal of Honor. He sure will be deserving of it.

And hopefully some of Kerry's medals will be recinded.

I'd like to see a comparative body language analysis done by a professional on this one.

Admin..please get this in the appropriate thread(s).
I am far having the conn here but it seems to me it's time to start pinning some of these dissenting witnesses to some bulkheads. You all have noted that factcheck tore up the SwiftVets side.
Somebody appearing in the media (the superb O'Neill?) should pose some direct questions. For Rassman: Were there any other Swifts in the vicinity when you were recovered? If so, were they ignoring you? Were any others blown into the water, like from PCF-3? If so, who recovered them and were they also recommended for Silver Stars? Given all this gunfire you claim, how is it that no boat nor crew member was hit by that gunfire?
With respect to the Silver Star citation: why signed by John Lehman many years later? Is that version identical to the original? Given the cited superior enemy force, what happened to that force when it seems the only engagement was with a single VC? Why (again) was neither the boat nor a crew member hit by this superior enemy force?
With respect to the first PH, since enemy action was required, what evidence supporting such action was submitted by who to whom.
For Captain Elliot: were your medal (Silver and Bronze Star) recommendations/endorsements almost wholly dependent upon action or other reports submitted by LTJG Kerry, who you naturally presumed to be an honest and honorable officer?

This may be viewed as presumptuous but I am the moutside observer looking in, just like the average voter and media dummy (except I do have some Navy experience)
