Bush camp readies appeal to veterans (Kerry missed 75% of Intel meetings)
GOP ads question Kerry credentials
By Anne E. Kornblut, Globe Staff | August 16, 2004

WASHINGTON -- Armed with the advantage of incumbency, President Bush is preparing to showcase his role as commander in chief this week while his Republican allies are attempting to cast doubt on the national security credentials claimed by his Democratic rival, Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts.

Back at campaign headquarters, Bush advisers are set to air a new television spot that criticizes Kerry's role on the Senate Intelligence Committee in the 1990s, accusing him of missing three-quarters of its public hearings. Kerry advisers say the Republican calculations are flawed because they do not include any closed-door sessions Kerry participated in during those years.

Yesterday Senator Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican and chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, challenged Kerry to authorize the release of the number of private hearings he attended. <snip>

1. This is no news for the campaign. I am just sitting and waiting.

Anything we say is mostly inmaterial.

2. so did Slade Gorton

and Bush appointed Gorton to the Sept. 11 commission.

3. Sure, when Bush authorizes the release of his military records that haven'

been altered, AND Cheney authorizes the Enron committee release. The REpugs should never bring up releasing documents, since they refuse to release anything into the public eye. Shall we revisit the 9/11 meeting with Bush holding Cheney's hand that was done in private, and not under oath? How about Bush's vacation record? The only thing Bush camps releases is names of CIA Operatives when it suits them. I think Bush needs to come clean before he points a finger.
