LAS VEGAS (AP) -- President Bush told veterans Tuesday he was proud of his time in the Texas Air National Guard and sought to deflect questions about his Vietnam-era service by turning the subject to what he said were rival John Kerry's equivocations on the war in Iraq

His appearance Tuesday came less than a week after the White House released memos saying the president was suspended from flying fighter jets for failing to meet the standards of the Texas Air National Guard. Though questions have been raised about their authenticity, the documents helped rekindle long-unanswered questions about Bush's service. Did any member of his prominent family pull strings to get him in the Guard? Was he ever disciplined while serving?

The AP sucks. CBS news released the memos, the White House only redistributed them which they acquired throught CBS. The AP is so lazy and biased its incredible.

Nah, they are not lazy, they have an agenda. Ron Fournier is one of the worst.

Do you (does anyone) know how Bush was received at the National Guard? Cheers? Otherwise?

[rushmom]

It's not the fraudlence of the documents but the seriousness of the manufactured charges. Have these people completely lost their minds?

[jhouston]

There was a running live thread and all reports was that he was very enthusiastically welcomed. Lot's of loud applause throughout.

According to Hannity, he was very well received.

"...and sought to deflect questions about his Vietnam-era service by turning the subject to what he said were rival John Kerry's equivocations on the war in Iraq."

Fournier is a stooge. We're in the midle of a WOT and fighting in Iraq today. Does Fournier realy think it's changing the subject to talk about Kerry's waffling on those issues, instead of focusing on Vietnam? Who does Fournier think the President is, John Kerry?

Besides, didn't he hear? The President is proud of his service, as he should be.

It's despicable they are feeding the readers the questions.

If I had an hour of F-102 time, I'd be proud. I'd also like the sound of the brass clanking togather as I swaggerd.

Thanks man. Glad to hear it.

Thanks to you to!
