Breaking - CBS RADIO - Robert Lambert breaks silence, corroborates Kerry!

[ruggerson]

Lambert says that they were indeed under incoming fire and that Kerry deserved his bronze star. Lambert himself fished Thurlow out of the water, says Thurlow was probably preoccupied, thus doesn't realize they were under fire.

Lambert is very credible, states flatly that he supports Bush, but is coming out to correct the record.

Reuters, yahoo hopefully will be picking this up shortly. Lambert was just interviewed on CBS Radio News.

I'm sure it will be better than what I got on Lambert today:


Lambert finally spoke out on Wed. 25 Aug, explicitly mentioning
the incoming fire:

Which I added to the substantive:

<snip>

Three Navy men won Bronze Stars for their actions that day: Kerry,
Thurlow, and radarman first class Robert Eugene Lambert, a petty
officer in the boat captained by Thurlow. The citation for Lambert's
Bronze Star--previously undisclosed but obtained today under the
Freedom of Information Act from the National Personnel Records
Center in St. Louis--repeats the description of the incident included
in the citation for Thurlow's Bronze Star: "all units came under small
arms and automatic weapons fire from the river banks." Lambert's
citation also notes that Lambert--who assumed command of PCF-51
after Thurlow went to assist another Swift boat damaged by a mine--
"directed accurate suppressing fire at the enemy." The citation praises
Lambert's "coolness, professionalism and courage under fire."
