Conclusion:
Not one of these questions is beyond the ability of John Kerry to answer. But their existence places him on the horns of a dilemma. If he stalls, or obfuscates, or refuses to answer, continuing a pattern he has employed about some of his more important records, the only reasonable conclusion is that he has something to hide. If he does answer, it is difficult to believe, given what is already known, that he will answer fully and truthfully.

Either way, John Kerry may soon learn that three citations for a single Silver Star is two too many.

Wow, frontpagemag.com is really going after this... excellent analysis and something I'd never thought about with regard to all the re-written citations. (Not common, but not unheard of)

Quote:
While it is not difficult to understand why Kerry apparently sought and obtained a sanitized second version of his Silver Star citation, at first glance it is not so easy to surmise why Kerry went after yet a third citation, this time from Lehman (especially because the third citation is word-for-word, in every important respect, the same as the second). One theory dovetails with what may well have motivated him, at least in part, to prefer Hyland’s imprimatur over Zumwald’s. Kerry, now a senator, may have been trying to upgrade his award, issued by a couple of “mere” admirals, to one issued by the Secretary of the Navy.


Sure fits in with everything else I believe about this ego-maniac.

Thanks - good link!

If those guys stay on this story, and pack enough weight to ask Kerry those wuestions before the election, he's in a lot of trouble. There is no way to explain why the paperwork was modified twice, and information removed from it. Great link, thanks.
