Bush's Youth Under Scrutiny (ZOT!!! Mod's patience just ran out.)
Washington Post ^ | 9/7/04 | Dan Froomkin

Posted on 09/07/2004 10:00:58 AM PDT by Forrest2320

After weeks in which the political discourse was nearly dominated by the scrutinizing of Sen. John F. Kerry's conduct in the Vietnam War era, President Bush now may find himself under the microscope and on the defensive for actions in his past. Kerry supporters are actively questioning Bush's spotty record as a stateside National Guardsmen during the Vietnam War. A former senior politician in Texas is telling people he pulled strings to get Bush into the guard. And an Associated Press investigation has concluded that key documents that should have been written to explain gaps in Bush's guard service are missing.

Jill Zuckman writes in the Chicago Tribune: "In a television advertisement to begin airing Friday, Bob Mintz, a lieutenant colonel in the Alabama Air National Guard during the time Bush was supposed to have been there in 1972, will say he never saw Bush at the base even though he looked for him, according to a spokeswoman for the group." Michael Dobbs writes in The Washington Post: "A former senior politician from Texas has told close friends that he recommended George W. Bush for a pilot's slot in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War because he was eager to 'collect chits' from an influential political family.

The five kinds of missing files identified by the AP are: • A report from the Texas Air National Guard to Bush's local draft board certifying that Bush remained in good standing in 1972 or 1973. • Records of a required investigation into why Bush lost flight status. • A written acknowledgment from Bush that he had received the orders grounding him. • Reports of formal counseling sessions Bush was required to have after missing more than three training sessions.

Besides, if liberals are right and the war was immoral, then wouldn't BUSH be the hero for not participating? Hypocrisy is just another nuanced postion to a liberal. How can someone be the hero of an immoral and unjust war, especially an admitted war criminal?

RIF.

The question was whether anyone OTHER THAN [euphemism for hardcore Democrats] cared what either Bush or Kerry did 30 years ago - implying that it is a non-issue to those who support the President. It is not a non-issue to the Swiftees and their supporters, which is why I pointed it out.

_____________________________

56 days to be exact.

Our major concern is not what the DU or anyone in the Democratic Party, George Soros, or Hollywood may have planned between now and November 2nd.

Our major concern now is to work together as Americans in remaining vigilant like we've never remained vigilant in our lives to the threat of a BESLAN, RUSSIA happening on American soil.

We know we are being targeted by Islamic warriors for a hit before November 2nd.

If they do, November 2nd will be out of the question.

You would think so but this one was hurting him and the adult tooth was not in enough to move it out. It was very interesting to watch. It took the dentist longer to numb it then to pull it.

OK. I see that you're already suspended, but in case you're still lurking about, trying to see what "damage" your kamikaze post has done, I say, "So what?"

So what.

What's your point? (other than the one at the top of your head)

Fact is, the things we do in life are only milestones to what we do with it. Your "man" did everything he could to further his own glory, often at the expense of anyone around him. What a total waste of oxygen!

Our man is responsible for the rescue of MILLIONS from the tyrannical oppression that the 'rats never had the balls to face.

Begone from my sight, troll!
