Bush’s War Stories Simply Don’t Fly

Kerry has a two decade record of voting against the military, national defense, and defense intelligence. His voting record is awful. He also has numerous ties to radical protest groups. His military record is honorable, but so was John McCain's, and Bush beat him too.

BTW - Joe Conason is such a liar.

"con man"

Yes he is .. and this statement: "issue is again relevant because Michael Moore". Bush being a deserter is relevant because Michael Moore said it was .. is this guy on drugs ..?? If Bush were in public life, he could SUE that stinking Moore and all the rest of the dems who are trying to smear our President - it's called SLANDER!

This is so ignorant. You don't get "appointed" to fly a plane .. people who get that position have to be extra smart. If Bush was so stupid like the dems said, how could Bush get "appointed" to such a position. Secondly, there is always a waiting list to get into pilot training (because it's so expensive, they only take the best candidates). Since Bush's record says he was an admirable pilot .. I think it would be safe to assume Bush could pass all the tests to get into pilot training.

"Champagne unit" or not .. Bush still had to be able to fly the damn plane, for heavens sake! If you believe Conason .. you're on the wrong website.

Not many fighters since then have had delta wings. It was an idea that came and went - fast.

Who are you quoting in number 15? Or did oyu write it? No attribution.

You coonsider pilot training something without risk? Pres Bush went through the same pilot training that every other AF pilot did in those days as he was on active duty. If his Dad truly wanted to get him out of dangerous duty, he certainly would not have been flying.

Old news, we all know that the elites do not send their sons to fight and die in our wars. That job is left to the peasants.

Excuse me, but you really are full of crap. President Bush the former and the current president both served their country honorably, doing dangerous jobs. GHWB was, in fact, shot down over a small Japanese island where cannibalism was practiced. So much for your half-assed theory in the case of the Bush family. Try something else.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I think Bush is toast. Kerry I think, won the Medal of Honor, a service record doesn't get any better then that.

ROTFLMAO

Joe "Conningsome" bump. ;-)
