Kerry brings out the big guns; attacks Cheney and Rove the chickenhawks
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/2004/la-na-kerry17apr17,1,4218546.story?coll=la-home-headlines

At the rally in Pittsburgh on Friday, Kerry offered an invocation of his tour in Vietnam.

"You see that great Stars and Stripes back there?" he asked the audience, pointing to a massive American flag draped on a stage behind the crowd.

"I fought under that flag. I fought under that flag and I saw that flag draped over the coffin of friends.

"…. Well, I'll tell you something: The political bombs may be bursting in air today around us as they try to distort the truth, but when I look up, that flag is still there," he said. "And it belongs to all of Americans, not to them … it belongs to us."
