I was starting to wonder if the Dem's wanted this election or not. Karl Rove is going to wish he never brought up the Vietnam issue.
President Bush's father says claims he used his influence to keep his son out of the Vietnam War are "a total lie." Former Sen. Bob Kerrey, a decorated Vietnam veteran, says the current president should condemn ads claiming the Democratic presidential candidate fabricated elements of his wartime service.
"They keep saying that and it's a lie, a total lie," former President George H.W. Bush said. "Nobody's come up with any evidence, and yet it's repeated all the time."
Kerrey, a member of the Sept. 11 commission that investigated the attacks and suggested an overhaul of the nation's intelligence structure, also said Republicans are coming close to exploiting the tragedy for political gain. In particular, he said, parts of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's speech to the Republican convention were "right on the edge."
