He's set a strategy in motion that will win the War on Terror. But decades ago he might have missed a couple of meetings. Well, then, by all means, let's bring in someone who has been a life-time peacenik and blame-America-firster. Makes sense to me.

How do Democrats think they are going to get any traction out of proving Bush avoided serving in a war they opposed? The people who are going to be concerned with such things know that Bush is prepared to make war on jihadists, and that Kerry can't make up his mind.

Veteran status only counts as a guide to future action. Bush has been quite open about what he is going to do with his time left in office, he is going to chase down the people who want to kill us, and either finish them or make them cry uncle.

Kerry has also been quite open about where he is going to lead us. He is going to put the war on auto-pilot and let the UN tell us what to do. He has been quite frank about it.

What does the respective veteran status of the two men tell us that we don't already know?

`Very active':

Joe LeFevers, a member of the 187th in 1972, said he remembers seeing Bush in unit offices and being told that Bush was in Montgomery to work on Blount's campaign.

"I was going in the orderly room over there one day, and they said, `This is Lt. Bush,'" LeFevers said Tuesday. "They pointed him out to me ... the reason I remember it is because I associate him with Red Blount."

Red Blount's son, Winton Blount III, said Bush was the campaign's deputy manager and spent a lot of time in Birmingham and north Alabama.

"He was a very active part of that campaign," said Blount. "And as my aunt said, she hoped people would act as nice in other people's homes as he did."

While demanding that others floss for this country, Bush, according to newly released dental records, did not floss!

Its kind of a fake controversy.

The people who are pro-war support GW because he has led it the way they would expect him to by and large, and as a consequence don't really care if he did or didn't show up at his meetings 30 years ago. And the people who are against the war aren't going to vote for him, again, regardless of whether he did or didn't show up for his meetings.

Blah, blah, blah, let's examine this minutia all over again. Meanwhile, the WaPost couldn't expend one inch of column space today about the Fonda/Kerry photo.

It is such JOKE!

When Pres. Bush is accused of skipping National Guard duty the entire world press investigates and write millions of worlds about it.

When Pres. Clinton is accused of RAPING a woman, the press completely igores it.

But we have no double standards here. NOOOOOOOO!

[Rebelbase]

I have never seen a more nonstory, meida concoction that this AWOL businesss.
How many trees will have given their lives to cover this before its all over?

[serurier]

I believe President Bush , He lead Iraq war , for freedom .

[2nd amendment mama]

Why are the democraps so worried about President Bush missing some days from National Guard duty when their leading candidate for President has been AWOL from the Senate for months! And all right in front of everyones eyes. The ultimate hypocracy.

[sr4402]

This is a concerted effort by the democrats in the press to slander the President. It is obvious to me that they will not stop even when the facts say otherwise because it is a slime campaign. We even know where it comes from - Terry McAwfull.

It just proves to me that the press is still carrying water for the democrats.

Notice, your not seen coverage about Kerry, post Vietnam very much. Clear evidence of Bias .

[ladyjane]

To be fair we should get to look at pictures of the inside of Clinton's nose.

[Gritty]

OK. Now they got Bush's medical records.

So when do we get to see Clinton's medical records!!??
