If the media had examined Kerry's Vietnam era military service the same way
they examined Bush's, the Democrats would have dropped Vietnam as a campaign
issue months ago.


Bush was AWOL for eight months.

Walt


If you or I were AWOL for 8 months it would have been 20 years at Levenworth.

Walt, I have to wonder why that slack media doesn't get credit for reporting
that one of Kerry's supervisors in Viet Nam who had written a glowing fitness
report on him at the time and who now, thirty plus years later, came out from
under his rock whining that he didn't really mean it and that Kerry really did a
lousy job. Doesn't that kind of examination and reporting of minutia count? I
think Vietnam IS an issue and it'll remain one.

It definitely is and the Dems need to pound on the fact that Junior did not
complete his military service honorably.

It has been demonstrated that Bush completed his military service honorably.
The Democrats are just using an old strategy; repeat a big lie often enough
and eventually some people will believe it. One can hardly blame them, they
can't gain power by telling the truth and they're desperate for power.

I was damn lucky to go to war in a war we all believed in with all our
hearts.
This is a war nobody believes in any more. And the liar has been exposed for
what he is. He sends men to fight and die which is something he was never
willing to do.

There are some veterans, educated, and knowledgeable folks who clearly
understand the necessity for this war and the goals that need to be
achieved to develop a sustainable peace in the Middle East and
security in the homeland.

Here's another case of your not being able to express yourself with precision,
Ed.

No one is denying that we need to fight a war on terror. Many much more
credible persons than yourself have said attacking Iraq was a mistake. And it
was. We are no safer for it.

You can't generalize your opinion and apply
it wholesale to the world.

What lies? Sarin found last week.

That's pitiful. One round.

Al-Qaeda involved in the beheading
of Nick Berg.

Alleged, as someone else said.

Turn-over to the Iraqi provisional goverment by the end
of this month....

As for the willingness to die for the nation, I've got to support a
guy who chose to spend four and a half years becoming an AF pilot and
qualifying operationally in a single-seat, single-engine jet.

One who was AWOL for eight months.

GWB didn't even go to OCS. He skipped it. And one who mysteriously didn't
take a flight physical and lost his flying status after the tax payers had
shelled out a lot of money to get him where he -could- fly.

You may
recall, Art, that tactical aircraft can kill you quite easily on any
given day. Lemme see, four years in jets or four months in
rowboats.....

That's pathetic. John Kerry was wounded three times. He volunteered to go to
war. GWB avoided going to war. Even Al Gore got as far as Saigon.
