Thanks, I guess I will.

The whole thing was just Bush II playing boy-soldier again. And, I'm
sure he is genuinely concerned about the morale of troops in Iraq,
seeing as how many have been picked off after he declared the war
over. And how many have been killed after he invited the Iraqi
radicals to "bring 'em on".

Iraq would still act as a magnet for Islamic radicals, even if Bush
weren't there. It is relatively easy for them to get there, as they have
fellow Arabs to aid them.

IMHO, it is better to have them in Iraq than in the US.

But they won't stay. Before Bush's Folly, Saddam had our real enemies,
the radical Islamists, under his thumb. He hated them and the feeling
was mutual. Now, Iraq is a wide-open recruitment and operations
wonderland for terrorists, awash with weapons for their use. We are
immeasurably less secure than we were before Bush and his full-moon
gazing, true-believer, neocon advisors launched this stupid war.

And the Thanksgiving trip?...a shrewd electioneering stunt. If Bush is
master of anything, it is the photo opp.

never mind the stuff his entourage "liberated" from the Navy
ships they used during the visit.

Oh, for sure Clinton was a master of the photo opp, too.

Both of those draft dodgers, Bush and Clinton, have an awful lot of
chutzpah to strike military poses.

Ummm...Bush the F-102 pilot was a draft dodger? My cousin, the "Air National
Guard F-100 pilot that did a tour of Vietnam" would pop you for that. (And
don't bother with the bogus crap, several times debunked, about his going
AWOL.)

No evidence of his having been present; how would *you* interpret it?

And he certainly joined the NG to avoid the draft. The bad part is he
used pull to get a desirable berth, and apparently to protect him from
his bad behavior too.

Clinton avoided the draft honestly, for a war most of us now recognize
to have been a tragic mistake, and has always been honest about it.

Bush used family pull to get a safe *and* sought-after National Guard
berth and then appears to have been AWOL a lot, while being rather
pro-war, which strikes many of us as hypocritical.
