Shot In The Dark: On Talking With O'Neill

On Talking With O'Neill

I had a one-hour conversation with John O'Neill yesterday. Unlike his last several major media appearances, nobody screamed over his points. Nobody bogged the conversation down in irrelevant tangents. We cut to the chase, and stayed on the chase for sixty complete minutes.

So, lefties; where are the lies? What precisely are they?

Not slight misstatements, not errors in memory by sixty-year old men who muffed minor details of firefights that took place 35 years ago. Where are the lies as re Kerry?

You're saying Kerry really was inside (not next to, not near) Cambodia? Ever? You're saying that Kerry really didn't file the report from the USCGC Spencer that led to his Silver Star, even though he was the only officer aboard? You're saying something that 90+% of his comrades in arms will refute to your face - Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Don't-Care-About-Politicses alike?

Quick. Where are the lies?

Piddly diversions will be dealt with harshly.

I have no questions on the Swift Boats, I just want to thank the Northern Alliance for giving John O'Neill this opportunity and to express my thanks to all the SBVT and the POWS for their incredible courage.

So, you're saying he wasn't a "creep"? (Of course he wasn't).

What I'd like to know, since I didn't get a chance to listen, is whether the subject of O'Donnell's implosion ever came up. If it did, I'd guess that Mr. O'Neill dealt with it quite politely, just as he did during the cartoon-like event itself.
