President George W. Bush said today advertisements by independent groups attacking Democrat John Kerry's service in Vietnam should be stopped along with all other ads run by independent groups.
The president said he wants to stop "all of them. That means that ad and every other ad." He was referring to a commercial by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who have claimed Kerry lied about his record.
Unlike previous statements by the White House, Bush this time referred specifically to the ad attacking Kerry's Vietnam service record.
He did not specify what action might be taken to stop the advertisements run by independent groups.
