Thanks for the kind words. I've created an archive on my blog just for Kerry/SwiftVets matters, and it might be better to list that URL in your master list instead of the general blog URL: http://www.beldar.org/beldarblog/swiftvets/index.html

Good luck, guys -- keep the faith.

Beldar, that's... "Magnificent!" Wink

It's .... otherworldly! Confused

You must consume mass quantities of information! Smile

Using your head, you get right to the point! Very Happy

You're not from .... FRANCE!?!?!? Mebs! Twisted Evil

All kidding aside, your thought process is impressive! Good to have you on our side.

Yes, from Remulak, in France.

In fact, Remulak is the only town in France that has absolutely backed the United States every step of the way in the Global War on Terror. It is a staunch member of the Coalition of the Willing.

(Of course, like Brigadoon, it's a town where people are grateful and loyal and noble -- it's fictional.)

Beldar; Great site Very Happy

, I just finished reading some of what you have said.

In your post "WaPo has the scent, but can't or won't find the meat yet in the SwiftVets vs. Kerry controversy" you have the artical from Salon's Martin Lewis, which says:

"Respected historian Douglas Brinkley, author of "Tour of Duty," has studied Kerry's Vietnam record exhaustively."

My question is how did he exhaustively study John Kerry's Vietnam record, when Kerry will not release his military records Twisted Evil

Keep up the great work Razz

You all forgot to post your comments on Beldar. Here's mine:

Comments
O'Neill rightously exposes kerry (small "K").
Justice and reconcilement of distorted history have been a long time in coming. Finally, thanks to John O'Neill those who served during Viet Nam will have their honor restored...the honor which kerry stole from them in his self centered opportunistic gambit to advance his own political aspirations. For kerry to be praised is to heap more insult on those who really served with courage, dignity and honor. I say to kerry's defenders, you are complicite in inflicting more tragedy on America in the name of partisan politics. Get a conscious.

Congratulations, Beldar, on a great blog site! BTW, I saw John O'Neill last night on Hardball. Once again, John O'Neill is conducting himself honorably and courageously. He is taking the fight to the belly of the beast(the liberal main stream media) and is not backing off one bit. This is nasty business and I'm sure he'd rather be doing something else. John O'Neill deserves our heartfelt thanks, prayers and support. We need to buy the book, contribute to Swiftvets, spread the word and pray mightily for John and the other Swiftvets who are now on the firing line for us and this country.
