1. The Blogosphere and Talk Radio have forced the MSM to report (even if unfairly) on the story told by the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth.
2. The flood of contributions to the SBVT's long ago (10 days?) passed and now dwarfs the original $200,000 provided by Texan Bob Perry.
3. The general consensus is that Vietnam veterans are reluctant to even discuss Vietnam, much less stand up, testify and suffer the grim-faced glare of the MSM.
4. Recent polling indicates that the post-Democrat convention status of a slight-Kerry-lead with a pro-Kerry trend has slowly but surely reversed, to a slight-Bush-lead and a pro-Bush trend.
5. Kerry will lose.

Why? This is a Vietnam war that America will win.

When history judges the events of 2004, Vietnam veterans, Vietnam era veterans, all veterans will owe a tear-filled salute and heart-felt thanks to the Swiftboat vets. For a wrong will have been set right. A lie whose most visible perpetrators are John Kerry and Jane Fonda will have been rejected. The venomous, dishonorable, craven and hate-induced vitriolic bile of the America-is-evil crowd will have been discarded. The war was right. The war was good. And had Congress stuck by South Vietnam after Nixon got us out, millions of lives would have been saved. Had LBJ and Nixon let the Generals fight the war, thousands of Vietnam vets would still be with us.

America is not perfect. But as Ben Stein wisely said on the Dennis Miller show the other night - America will not win the war on terror unless we perceive ourselves as good.

We are good.

Thanks, Swiftboat vets.

May I send this to various news outlets with your name withheld, Commander Steele?

Comander Steele,

You have hit the nail squarely on the head. The war WAS right and time has finally allowed the truth to come out in a safe and defensible manner. Due to the efforts of the Swift Boaters and other Veteran websites, Vietnam Veterans are being able to 'bask' in the approval and admiration that the silent majority has had for their efforts and sacrific. We, as a nation, have been sooo beat down by the LEFT-over anti-war thugs for so long that our graditude is coming forth in a groundswell of support for the Swift Boat cause. This national healing towards the Vietnam Vets began with the overwhelming support of the military's noble and honorable actions in Afganistan and Iraq. We have realized that the same noble and honorable sacrific ocurred during Viet Nam but we had been blinded for so many years by Kerry's (and his allies) efforts to smear anything Viet Nam related.

Thank you from the heart for your past and present duty and sacrific.
