"Noooooo!!!!" Bush poured <strong>the</strong> nitroglycerine tablets into Cheney's slack mouth. But<br />

it was too late.<br />

The moment <strong>the</strong> mortar round exploded, Kerry knew it was American ordnance. They<br />

were taking friendly fire. But he also knew he had no choice but to shoot back with everything<br />

<strong>the</strong>y had. He looked up to <strong>the</strong> gun tub, where O'Reilly stood frozen at <strong>the</strong> twin.50s.<br />

Kerry leapt up, shouldered O'Reilly aside, and unleashed <strong>the</strong> full fury of <strong>the</strong> machine gun in<br />

<strong>the</strong> direction of <strong>the</strong> incoming fire.<br />

Gingrich sized up <strong>the</strong> situation: behind <strong>the</strong>m, an entire platoon of crafty, dedicated Viet<br />

Cong; in front of <strong>the</strong>m, a wi<strong>the</strong>ring barrage of increasingly accurate fire that had <strong>the</strong>m pinned<br />

down. Only a miracle could save <strong>the</strong>m now.<br />

Limbaugh stood up and turned around, facing <strong>the</strong> VC. "We surrender," he screamed<br />

in perfect Vietnamese, <strong>the</strong> only phrase he knew in that notoriously difficult language. Maybe<br />

this was <strong>the</strong> miracle Gingrich was hoping for.<br />

Mai Nu Ky, a battle-hardened thirteen-year-old corporal turned to her commander. "Comrade<br />

Colonel, shall we capture <strong>the</strong> American or kill him?"<br />

Nguyen raised his arm in a signal to cease fire. The highly disciplined soldiers lowered<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir weapons as Limbaugh waddled toward <strong>the</strong>m. Nguyen turned to Mai. "You may<br />

have <strong>the</strong> honor of executing <strong>the</strong> giant pig, Corporal." She raised her weapon and fired once,<br />

bringing Limbaugh down with a thunderous thud.<br />

With surrender now out of <strong>the</strong> question, Gingrich could see only one chance to save<br />

his skin. He'd have to trick <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r members of his unit into making a suicidal charge<br />

against <strong>the</strong> Swift Boat. With any luck, <strong>the</strong> Americans would kill each o<strong>the</strong>r off, leaving Gingrich<br />

with <strong>the</strong> boat and a chance to escape. "Charge!" Gingrich yelled.<br />

"You charge," Gramm called back.<br />

"Let's all charge toge<strong>the</strong>r!" shouted Buchanan, planning to fake getting shot by falling<br />

to <strong>the</strong> ground and moaning.<br />

"Ready?" yelled Gingrich. "One. Two. Three. Charge!" The three men stood up. Each<br />

took a half step before <strong>the</strong>atrically falling down.<br />

"I've been hit!" They called in unison.
