Kerry told to drop VietnamWashington - Ex-president Bill Clinton spent 90 minutes from his hospital bed awaiting a heart bypass operation advising Democratic presidential contender John Kerry how to rejuvenate his campaign, US media reported on Monday.

Eight weeks from the November 2 vote, Kerry has also taken on more Clinton advisors in a bid to strengthen his battle against President George W Bush who has taken a major lead in some opinion polls, reports said.

Clinton told Kerry that he should move away from talking about his Vietnam war record to establish his national security credentials and instead attack Bush on job creation and health care, the New York Times quoted officials who knew about the conversation as saying.

The orignal poster implied that those telling Kerry to stop talking about Vietnem were working for Rove. I asked if that included Clinton, since he has offeded that advice.
