I can not see how Bush's being awol from the national Guard is any worst
than Clinton's draft dodging, burning his draft card, leaving the
country
and protesting the war.

Consider, if you will:

1) Being AWOL is a crime. Nothing you allege about Clinton,
with the possible exception of burning his draft card, was
or is a crime and I'm doubtful that a law prohibiting one
from burning one's own draft card would pass Constitutional
muster.

Making a fraudulent offer to join ROTC with an induction notice in hand is a
crime.

I'd like to know the basis for that.

Anyhow IIRC, Clinton never admitted to making a fraudulent offer.
He said that he changed his mind. I believe that the offer was
fraudulent, or at best that he was stalling for time, but I
cannot prove that, even though it is the only reasonable explanation.
Similarly, I believe that I believe that the Bush administration
sabotaged the UNMOVIC inspection program by supplying it with false
information, though I cannot prove that, even though it is the
only reasonable explanation given that some of the documents supplied
to UNMOVIC are undisputed forgeries.


3) I am not convinced that Bush was AWOL, it appears that at worse
he was left without orders to appear anywhere in particular for
about a year. Certainly a far cry from volunteering for combat
duty however.

John Kerry served in Vietnam, or rather off the coast for one tour
of duty returning to the US when his ship came back to the US.
He then volunterred for a second tour and then came home from that
tour of duty after being wounded for the third time. I believe
his wounds were not serious, but then again, GWB never saw combat
at all.
