That is true, I don't know the basic facts about WMD, but Powell, members of Congress, and the President DO know. I also am questioning the military record of Bush Jr.

There have been dozens of threads on FR documenting the President's military record, and there must be a hundred about WMD.

If you are interested, the facts are all out there for you to see.

The stockpiles of WMD have not been found yet, but every intelligence agency and every leader in the world knew that they were there. Besides which, David Kay said that Saddam Hussein was even MORE dangerous than suspected.

As for our borders, they are NOT wide open.

And as for your original post that President Bush must go...........your alternative is a lying, anti-American, anti-military, pro-abortion leftist........John Kerry. Is that what you really want?

I dare you to call yourself a conservative and say that he's a better option.

Wise up. Whether or not you're a DU troll, you've swallowed the lies of the left and they've confused your mind.

Goldilucky, let me enlighten you. I have been an enlisted member of the Air National Guard for close to 22 years. (I actually retired and then unretired after 9-11). I am familiar with all the ins and outs of National Guard duty. What President Bush did back in 72-73 was and is a perfectly normal and acceptable method for ensuring the performance of required duty days for Guard members who wind up with out of state committments. I have personally worked with members from other states that have performed duty with our unit while working in our state. The fact that a commander, who probably worked in another building and was in meetings all day didn't see a lowly LT that couldn't even fly while there doesn't surprise me in the least. Commanders can hardly be expected to know the doings of 1,000 people under his command. People are coming forward to say that they saw him, worked with him, met him, even dated him while he was in Alabama.

As for his records, they may be incomplete, but...
I would ask you if you could produce complete and full documentation of all work you performed 30 years ago? 20? 15? 10? The military was not computerized then. In fact military records are lost ALL THE TIME, I know this from experience. I keep a duplicate of my shot record for this reason, rather than get my arms shot full of shots I've already had.

Finally, when he got out early, this is also a simple act for a multitude of reasons. At that time, the War was actually over and pilots were flooding Guard units. A pilot willing to leave and make room for one with combat experience would have been willingly let go, no problem.

So, before you believe every word the biased media throws out there, please do some very simple research and take some experienced voices into account.

Thank you.
