An astonishing amount of chutzpah.
For my money there seems to be no end to the duplicity of the man who will accuse the White House of such things only weeks after Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McCauliffe dragged out the bogus charges of the President being AWOL from the National Guard in the early 70s. Charges, by the way, which have been thoroughly and completely debunked.
In a letter to Bush on Saturday, Kerry wrote: "As you well know, Vietnam was a very difficult and painful period in our nation's history, and the struggle for our veterans continues. So, it has been hard to believe that you would choose to reopen these wounds for your personal political gain. But, that is what you have chosen to do."
Kerry was reacting to criticism earlier in the day from a leading Georgia Republican who, speaking for Bush's re-election campaign, predicted trouble for Kerry in the state's primary.
Let us review. Kerry wants credit for his service record, but founded the Vietnam Vets against the War to condemn the war and the American soldiers' (presumably their own, as well) actions in it. You can't have it both ways.
Kerry was so strongly against the war he publicly, on camera "threw away" medals awarded to him in Vietnam, except he didn't throw his away. He says he still has his to this day. You can't have it both ways.
Kerry voted to authorize President Bush to do what we did in Iraq. Now he says he is against what we have done in Iraq. You can't have it both ways.
Kerry accuses the White House of sending out third parties to disparage Kerry's war record. Meanwhile, the chairman of the DNC (whose job it is to get the Democrat's candidate elected) raises the bogus charges about the President being AWOL from the Guard, and Kerry hasn't condemned those tactics.
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!
