The Swiftees set the table as to Kerry's unfitness...for anything. They completed their mission and can rightfully basque in the historical record of their accomplishment.

If America still wants this preposterous fraud as the head of our Department of State, caveat emptor...

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth helped sink Sen. John F. Kerry’s bid for the White House eight years ago, but the group of veterans has decided it will not to try to torpedo his nomination to head the State Department.

A key member of the “Swifties,” as the group was informally known, told The Washington Times that several former members decided in a recent conference call vote that “we would not reactivate and come out publicly against John Kerry’s nomination.”

“We just didn’t feel that we would have the impact that we had in 2004,” said retired Rear Admiral Roy F. Hoffman, who served as chairman of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth when it opposed the bid of the Massachusetts Democrat for the presidency.

Swifties spokesman John O'Neill..., who is believed to be recovering from illness, did not respond to a request for comment for this story, while Mr. Corsi told The Times that he could not speak on behalf of the group but he personally intends to oppose Mr. Kerry’s secretary of state nomination.

The guys have stood up twice now and served America. For their efforts defending our country, both times they were vilified, demeaned, denigrated, ridiculed and even spit upon.

They stood strong. They stood proud. They prevailed and survived everything thrown at them.

They set the bar and laid out the example.

It is time that John Q. Public stood up themselves to defend their nation and stop expecting someone else to fight the battles while they cheer from the rear.

As we said in the Army, Well Done, Swifties. I salute you.

Lew said it as well as anyone could, so I just add my thanks and a hand salute to each and every one of them. It's time for the rest of the country to sink or swim.
