John E. O'Neill: A lot of good information can be found at swiftvets.com. The readers will have to go after that site that exactly because if you vary or alter the name in other ways or use search engines you are libel to reach bogus Kerry sites to divert people from our site. So you would have to use exactly the words swiftvets.com.

Another good place to get information is Unfit for Command the book to which over 60 of us contributed. The members of Swift Boat Veterans for truth are listed on the Web site and include over 260 Swifties led by Adm. Roy Hoffmann, our commander in Vietnam. I am simply one of many people involved in our organization.

We are here for two reasons. First Kerry lied about our record in Vietnam, both in 1971 and most recently in his authorized biography. Second, and less important to us, he exaggerated wildly his own short record in Vietnam.

1. What a moron!

This guy is a lawyer?!

[Career Prole]

3. I know...it's kind of difficult to believe a lawyer

would misspell "liable"...especially in that way.

because if you vary or alter the name in other ways or use search engines you are libel to reach bogus Kerry sites to divert people from our site.

7. Must have been a Freudian slip. He's on the toilet right now defamating.

Has he seen the pictures from the Martian Slander? I hear they're pretty incredible.

What a dumb ass.

This guy has a guilty conscience.

[BurtWorm]

9. The moron-ity continues

Washington, D.C.: Earlier this week George W. Bush denounced your ad as well as the ads of all 527 groups. How do you react to the President’s remarks? In light of his rebuke, will you pull these ads? Why or why not?

John E. O'Neill: The answer of Adm. Hoffman our leader was “full speed ahead.” George Bush was not a part of our unit nor is he a part of our story. This is a matter deeply between Kerry and ourselves. It goes beyond politics and deeply involved the honor of our unit, the damage done by his false charges and his wild exaggeration of his service with our unit. We will continue through though the election with the last dollar we raise and the last energy we raise to bring the truth to the American public about the falsehood about Kerry’s charges and the exaggeration of his service to the attention of the American people. We will do that not as a matter of politics but because we know he is unfit to command our children, our relatives and other American soldiers or sailors in a dangerous time in our nation.

Fortunately, the First Amendment and the commitment of the American public to fairness will assist us in doing so. We will let the chips fall where they may.

10. LMAO! Most excellent!

Spit popcorn is sticky stuff, I just discovered. :D

2. O'Neill claims he supported John Edwards for President!

New York, N.Y.: You made a statement that you would have voted for John Edwards for President. What qualities do you think will make John Edwards a great VP choice for voters?

John E. O'Neill: I am a lawyer in Houston. I have heard only good things from other lawyers about John Edwards. He obviously has given up a successful career in order to pursue the public interest. I hope he has a long and successful career in public service. In the summer of 2003 I was contacted on this matter by the Boston Globe and indicated that I supported Sen. Edwards for President. Unfortunately that is not the hand we got dealt.

12. funny he gives money to politicians , yet none to one he support for

President in the primary. especially when they were running against someone as horrible as he claims kerry is.

i heard he claimed to have voted for gore in 2000 also.

[PA Democrat]

14. Yes, he has funny way of showing

his "support" for a candidate. I'll bet his votes were just as "supportive".:puke:

[quaoar]

4. He hasn't gotten any really hard questions yet

And seems to be handling himself OK.

So I submitted one. :)

[imax2268]

8. I submitted one also...

I wonder if he will answer it...I asked if he was willing to give his medals back if the US Navy's official documents are lying...

[quaoar]

5. Now he's covering for himself on Cambodia

Dayton, Ohio: Mr. O'Neill, I recently heard a portion of the White House audio tape of your meeting with President Nixon. I heard you tell President Nixon that you had gone to Cambodia on your swift boat.

I also heard you tell a reporter recently(on tape) that you had never been in Cambodia.

Did you lie to President Nixon or did you lie to the reporter?

Have you ever been in Cambodia, and if so, when did you go and did you go more than once?

If you have never been in Cambodia, how close did you ever get to the Cambodian border (in feet or miles)?

John E. O'Neill: I lied to no one. You quote the first half of the statement but ignore the following sentence. I clearly said that I was on the Cambodian border. I was on a canal system known as Bernique’s Creek located about 100 yards south of the Cambodian border from which it would have been very difficult to get into Cambodia at least from a boat.

I never went to Cambodia. Unlike the Kerry story you are defensive about I don’t believe I can ever fairly be interpreted as saying anything different. John Kerry on many different occasions said that the turning point of his life was being in Cambodia illegally for Christmas Eve and Christmas in 1968. This was in a different area than I was in and close approach to Cambodia was not possible for him in that area. In fact he was more than 50 miles away. How many people invent the turning point of their life and repeat it on the senate floor, in articles and more than 50 times in 35 years?

6. lied about OUR record

so this is what this is about, so you didn't rape and murder but for someone to speak out about it they lied about you?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. He didn't answer too many questions now, did he? Just a handful.

Then, "Thanks a lot, hope you enjoyed the show! Don't forget to click swifties dot com etc. etc."

[Career Prole]

13. O'Neill, you lying POS!!

"John E. O'Neill: All atrocities in Vietnam should have been reported to investigative authorities and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Neither John Kerry nor his associates in VVAW ever reported a single atrocity to the Naval investigative service or any other law enforcement authority. Instead Kerry made a general charge that rape, murder and mayhem was occurring on a day to day basis with the awareness of officers at all levels of command."

They were told and it was covered up, you f*cking liar!

Seven years after leaving Vietnam, James Barnett broke down.
Haunted by the killing of civilians, the former Tiger Force sergeant invited Army investigators to his home to offer a surprise confession.
He admitted to shooting a young, unarmed mother. He admitted to his platoon's cruel treatment of villagers.
He asked for immunity from prosecution, but in the end, he never needed the legal protection. No one would.

Though the Army substantiated 20 war crimes by 18 Tiger Force soldiers committed in 1967 - with numerous eyewitnesses - no charges were filed. An investigation that should have brought justice to the longest series of atrocities by a U.S. fighting unit in Vietnam reached the Pentagon and White House but never a court of law - or the American public.

<snip>

But one thing is clear: evidence of the atrocities reached the top levels of government.
Summaries of the Tiger Force case were forwarded in 1973 to President Richard Nixon's White House and the offices of Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger and Secretary of the Army Howard "Bo" Callaway, according to National Archives records.
Through his secretary, Mr. Schlesinger declined to comment. Mr. Callaway said he didn't remember the investigation.
