Today's SBVfT related news

Col. Ken Cordier, a member of the Bush campaign's steering committee to help reach out to veterans, has resigned after he appeared in the latest SBVfT ad.

Bob Dole attacks Senator Kerry for his three purple hearts, saying they were "superficial wounds." Josh Marshall points to this relevant passage from Bob Dole's 1998 campaign trail autobiography:

As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg--the sort of injury the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart.

Another swift boat veteran who was there when Kerry earned his bronze star confirms Kerry's account of events in op-ed published in Telluride Daily Planet.

The Kerry campaign releases yet another ad in response to anti-Kerry swift vets, this one to be aired on television.

All eyes and ears will be on Bush tomorrow when he holds Crawford presser.
