Did John "Dirtbag" O'Neill Earn Any Medals in 'Nam?

[stopbush]

And if so, how do we know the records weren't falsified? You know those Swift boat guys can't be trusted. In fact, based on O'Neill's accusations of the Navy awarding medals to Kerry on specious info, shouldn't we be reviewing ALL medals issued in 'Nam by all branches of the military?

1. Why yes! Yes he did!

Alright, roll call of vets in "numeric majority."

O'Neill really made the rounds today. Crossfire was an absolute hoot!!! Then Hardball!! He's been discredited fully. If the media keeps it up, it's time to go back to the questions on Bush which by the way are still not answered.

2. Chris Matthews did a great job tonight against O'Neill...

O'Neill was made to look like the sleazeball that he is.

3. Agreed! An Crossfire was good too!!

Thank you Carville! It was great when he finally said "I have no use for this guy" and turned away. Then Novak tried to shame him. LOL

5. and no replay either..

totally bummed I missed it. The transcript is up, however.

Joining us in the CROSSFIRE, former White House counsel and Kerry adviser, Lanny Davis. And John O'Neill, co-author of "Unfit for Command."

CARVILLE: Mr. O'Neill, you have been slurred by the Kerry- Edwards campaign. They sent me a thing. I got on their stationary right here, and I can't believe that they put their name on something like this, because they make accusations against you that I want to give you a chance to refute, because they just can't be true. They say you never met John Kerry in Vietnam. They say in your book, they actually say you never spoke to anyone on the two boats when he was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star. Not -- and they actually say for 35 years after -- you never said anything until he won the Democratic presidential nomination about this. Now, I'm -- this can't be true, America. I want to give you every opportunity to tell us when you saw John Kerry in Vietnam, that led you to do this? JOHN O'NEILL, AUTHOR, "UNFIT FOR COMMAND": If you let me, I'll be happy, and you're right, it's not true.

CARVILLE: It's not?

(CROSSTALK)

NOVAK: Let him answer. James, you asked him the question...

(CROSSTALK)

O'NEILL: I'm the guy that took over John Kerry's boat in Vietnam, PCF94. There are 60 people of the people that were in our unit who contributed to this deal, including most of the officers who served with John Kerry no further away than that camera is from me right now. I met and debated John Kerry in 1971. I didn't wait for 35 years.

CARVILLE: Did you wait -- did you meet him in Vietnam?

O'NEILL: No.

CARVILLE: You mean you never met him in Vietnam?

O'NEILL: No.

CARVILLE: Come on. You're writing a book on the -- oh, come on, man.

O'NEILL: He was only there three months, James.

FRYLOCK: So what is it, 3 months or 4 months, you lying sack of shit?

6. What difference does it make?

According to Scum Bag Veterans for Bush medals don't mean anything anyway. :shrug:
